Obviously, drafts sometimes are good ones, or bad ones; I think you can get a good, quality player late in the lottery.
From Grant Hill
My favorite memory is, as a freshman, going to Carolina and beating them. Going over there and winning on their court. I think that was the only time I did win on their court.
I had the opportunity at Duke to start doing things in the community, and it's something I continue to do even 20 years later.
I tried to make a point of doing things outside the box, of not having basketball consume me.
I was keenly aware when I was drafted, when I signed my first contract; immediately, I was thinking about the end.
My teammates at Duke - all of them, black and white - were a band of brothers who came together to play at the highest level for the best coach in basketball.
I know most of the black players who preceded and followed me at Duke. They all contribute to our tradition of excellence on the court.
It's not easy for a freshman, especially not at Duke.
I think the world of Dave Griffin. I worked with him in Phoenix, got to know him very well, and consider him a friend.
I like to think of myself as a pretty good athlete, I don't think I'm a great sprinter, but 200, 400, maybe 800. I won't say excel in them, but I'd do pretty good.
