Grant Hill (Triple Double) (34pts/15rebs/14asts) vs. Lakers (1997)

From the start of the game Chick Hearn anticipates a possible triple double from Grant Hill and he sure got what he wanted. Hill puts on a show by scoring with acrobatic layups, jumpshots, banking in a three for the overtime, rebounding (included his rebounds also - great positioning for some of them by Hill) and dishing out nice dimes, I even think that all of Otis Thorpe's 22 points come from wide open dunks after Grant's assists. What can be better than Chick Hearn commentating a triple double performance by Grant Hill!? January 18, 1997.

Thumbs up if you think Grant Hill is so nice - he even had a career twice!

But what for a Lakers team that was: van Exel, Fisher, Kobe, Eddie Jones, Byron Scott, Ceballos, Horry, Kersey, Campbell and Shaq! Was that the year the Lakers had 4 All Stars? Even I could have coached that team to 55+ wins! poor Del Harris...

If Hill could have made the career he deserved, he would be a much better comparision to LBJ than MJ...

@XYRYX1

Exactly...

B4 the injury, he was puttin' up the kinda' overall #s people praise LBJ for today, except hill was doin' it in a much tougher & physically demanding era..

And the fact that he's STILL an effective player today, just lets U know how good he was, and could've potentially been barring that injury.

Penny Hardaway is another guy like that.

Can U imagine those guys playing uninjured in the Y2K era, and under these rules today?!!

SMH..they would've been unreal

Jeez how many 1-handed dunks did Otis Thorpe have that season??

@melowar78

Grant Hill was a great player during his tenure as a Piston. I am bummed the team could never advance past the first round however despite Hill and one of my favorite players Lindsey Hunter playing.

can you please put the full game on youtube please

[CoolColJ24]

so smooth and loose here

[melowar78]

Detroit's best player ever! And that in itself says a lot!

[gsquared13]

do you have the entire game so i can watch this game from start to finish

[ImmortalDragon]

@XYRYX1 No.. This was Kobe's rookie season. Kobe made ASG in 98.

[LeGreatness]

His game did look like LeBron's...but he actually could make a shot when his team was in need.

Otis Thorpe was feasting in this game, thanks to Grant.
