Grant Hill has several unique connections to families who have called the White House home. Hill's father Calvin — who played for the Dallas Cowboys — was a fraternity brother of George W. Bush at Yale. Grant's mother Janet, who works at a leading Washington D.C. consulting firm, has been a mentor to first lady Michelle Obama.
The most prominent connection, though — one Hill said Dick Vitale mentioned “every other time" Hill scored a basket while at Duke — is that Janet Hill was a roommate of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while at Wellesley (Massachusetts) College.
