SALT LAKE CITY — During the summer of 1990, two freshmen arrived on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, from different walks of life.
Grant Hill, the son of former Dallas Cowboys running back Calvin Hill, prepped at South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia.
Meanwhile, Antonio Lang was raised in Mobile, Alabama — where the valedictorian led LeFlore High School to a 1989 state title.
In the years to follow, those teenagers would develop a lifelong bond that they continue to share to this day as grown men.
Lang is an assistant coach for the Utah Jazz while Hill is a NBA Hall of Famer and part-owner of the Atlanta Hawks who also works as an analyst for Turner Sports.
