Grant Hill Ascends To Basketball Immortality

ATLANTA -- Former NBA superstar and current Atlanta Hawks Vice Chair Grant Hill had a long journey leading up to his Friday induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

When Major League Baseball catcher Carlton Fisk was inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame, he said, "It's not what you achieve, it's what you overcome. That's what defines your career." For Hill, who scored 17,137 career points as a member of the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and Los Angeles Clippers, that saying rung true on the night when he received basketball's highest honor for career accomplishment.
