#33, from the Orlando Magic - Grant Hill!
After 4 years of rehab and attempted comebacks, Grant Hill is officially back. Last night, Hill was named a starting forward for the Eastern Conference in the 2004-05 All-Star game. By no means was his nomination to the All-Star team a sympathy vote. Hill has played a vital role in the Magic's turnaround this year.
Averaging 18.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, Hill has shown veteran leadership when the Magic need it most. While Steve Francis has been awesome this year, Grant Hill has kept the Magic in games by driving to the basket and running the floor, when the rest of team has been a step behind.
Everyone at some point has doubted whether Hill would ever play again. After four years, one thing is for sure. Grant Hill is an All-Star and always will be. With the All-Star starting spot, there is a feeling that his comeback from the ankle injury is complete. Congratulations Mr. Hill on your comeback, we're glad to have you in the NBA.
