Grant Hill

During his time at Duke, Hill earned NABC Defensive Player of the Year in 1993, Second Team All-America in 1993, and was a unanimous First Team All-America and ACC Player of the Year in 1994, culminating in his #33 jersey retirement. In his rookie NBA season (1994-95), he became the first Pistons rookie since Isiah Thomas to score 1,000 points and shared the NBA Rookie of the Year Award with Jason Kidd. Hill quickly became a league star, leading the NBA All-Star fan balloting as a rookie in 1994-95 and again in 1995-96, famously surpassing Michael Jordan. He was a key member of the U.S.

His profound impact on the sport was recognized with his induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018. Transitioning from his celebrated playing career, Hill has become a multifaceted executive, entrepreneur, and sports analyst. He currently serves as co-owner and Vice Chair of the Atlanta Hawks, holding part-ownership stakes in Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride. In 2024, he further expanded his portfolio by joining the ownership group that acquired the Baltimore Orioles.

Beyond his ownership endeavors, Hill is a respected basketball analyst, providing expert commentary for CBS, NBC, and TNT Sports. He also plays a crucial leadership role as the managing director for the USA Men’s National Team.
