YouTube Gold: The Greatness Of Grant Hill

Grant Hill graduated from Duke in 1994 and even today, he’s regarded as the best player in Duke history.

That’s saying a lot - it takes in Christian Laettner, Zion Williamson, Jason Williams and JJ Redick among others.

It’s hard to argue with though. Hill could do anything on a basketball court except hit three pointers, where he seemed to have a mental block while at Duke.

He could play four positions and really it didn’t matter where you put him. He could do it all.

He’s best remembered for two plays though: first, his astonishing dunk his freshman year against Roy Williams and Kansas in the 1991 NCAA championship game and second, his superb pass to set Christian Laettner up for his epic game winner against Kentucky in the Elite Eight the following year.
