Grant Hill

There's a wealth of information and knowledge you can gain from sitting down with people who are successful. ”

The accomplishments in college and even in the pros are more in my mind because you constantly see Duke on TV during basketball season. You constantly see the NBA. ”

Regardless of the obstacles or hurdles that are ahead of you, regardless of the opponent, regardless of the odds, your goal and objective always is to win. I think that's part of sports. ”

Every year you suit up, you play for a championship. Some years, some teams... it was very few times I think I played on that realistically had a chance. ”

I tried to make a point of doing things outside the box, of not having basketball consume me. ”

The great thing about sports is you constantly have to prove yourself. You constantly have to go out there and do it, day in and day out. ”

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. ”

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 was keenly aware when I was drafted, when I signed my first contract; immediately, I was thinking about the end. ”

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. ”
