Childhood and College Career

Grant Dallas, TX, welcomed Henry Hill on October 5, 1972. The former NFL football player Calvin Hill and Janet Hill are his parents.

While attending high school in Reston, Virginia, near Washington, DC, he moved with his family from Texas, where he had grown up. He was voted Virginia Mr. Basketball in 1990 while he was a basketball player at South Lakes High School.

Grant’s mother wanted him to attend Georgetown University, while his father preferred that he enroll at the University of North Carolina, according to his mother.

Grant finally decided to enroll at Duke University, though. He played basketball for the Blue Devils for four years in college, contributing to the team’s national championships in 1991 and 1992.

In recognition of this feat, Duke won back-to-back Division I basketball championships for the first time since Indiana University did it in 1976. Hill made history by becoming the only player in ACC history to finish with over 1,900 points, 700 rebounds, 400 assists, 200 steals, and 100 blocked shots during the course of his NCAA career.

Due in part to his stellar college career, Grant Hill ended up becoming the eighth Duke athlete to have his jersey number retired. Some others even assert that he is among the best collegiate players of his generation.

In Duke basketball history, he is recognized as one of the best players ever. He graduated from Duke University in 1994 with a double degree in political science and history.

Career as a Professional

Grant Hill was signed by the Detroit Pistons in the NBA draft third overall after completing his college career. He had a strong debut campaign as a pro, averaging 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.77 steals per game.

As a result, he became the first Piston since Dave Bing in the 1966–1967 season to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. Nevertheless, he had to split the accolade with Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks.

As Grant collected 1,289,585 votes for the 1994-1995 All-Star Game (beating out Shaquille O’Neal), Hill became the first rookie to lead an NBA All-Star fan balloting, demonstrating the extent of his popularity.

Grant had six seasons with the Pistons in total until leaving the organization in 2000. While playing with the Pistons in 1996, he was a part of the American men’s basketball squad that captured the gold medal at the Atlanta Summer Olympics.

He signed a sign-and-trade agreement before leaving the Pistons so he could sign a somewhat more expensive contract with the Orlando Magic than he would have been able to if he had been a free agency, and the Pistons could still get paid for losing him.

Hill was thus given a $92.8 million, seven-year contract by the Pistons before being exchanged for the players Chucky Atkins and Ben Wallace and sent to Orlando.

He was forced to miss all but four games of his debut season with Orlando due to an ankle injury, though. Injuries hampered him for the majority of his career with Orlando up until his departure in 2007.

The Phoenix Suns were his next team to join in 2007, and despite sustaining minor ailments, he was able to participate in more games.

As his deal with the Suns expired in 2012, he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, however, he only played for them for one season before making his formal retirement announcement on June 1st, 2013.

Endorsements and Other Promotional Activities

The biggest shoe contract in history at the time was a seven-year, $80 million agreement that Grant signed with Fila in 1997.

He agreed to a lifetime contract with Fila in 2018, which will continue to pay him upwards of $10 million annually to support the business.

Grant also appeared in the Sprite “Grant Hill Drinks Sprite” ad throughout the 1990s. In addition, he has acted as a spokesperson for companies like McDonald’s, TAG Heuer, Adidas, and Nike. He has also made appearances alongside his wife Tamia in AT&T commercials.

A group of owners led by Tony Ressler, including Hill, bought the Atlanta Hawks for approximately $850 million in 2015.
