I've decided that every week I will pick an aging superstar and discuss his before and now state as a player. This week I have decided to talk about Grant Hill. Currently a forward for the Phoenix Suns. Before he was plagued with injury Hill was labeled "the next Jordan". Hard to believe now, isn't it? To all the young fans out there Grant Hill was one of the best players and would've been if it weren't for his injuries. He posted a career-high of 55 points back in 1997 and ironically it was against Phoenix. He averaged 25 points in the 99-00 season, back when he stilled played for Detroit. Now he averages but 13, almost half of what he made. It started at the 2000-2001 season. The season we saw Grant Hill play only 4 games, and injury kept biting Hill in the ass for seasons to come. Now the label "next Jordan' is but a memory of Grant Hill. It's sad to see such talent go to waste but hell, at least we still got Kobe.
