Prime Grant Hill in place of Lebron James from 2011-2014

[sportjames23]

One of the best talents at the SF position until injuries hurt his career. Put him with Wade, Bosh and crew. How many rings does Miami take home?

Huge maybe in 2011.

Won't win in 2012, won't win in 2013, won't win in 2014.

So one ring, if they get really lucky. Keep in mind LeBron put up 28/8/4 against the 2011 Celtics and 26/8/7 against the Bulls. Grant Hill never came close to sniffing those playoff numbers in his prime.

Pre-injury Grant Hill was a beast and personally one of my favourite players to watch. He had goat potential had he continue to improve.. but from what we saw from him, he isn't LeBron James. Still a damn good player though.

Won't win in 2012, won't win in 2013, won't win in 2014.

Grant also played on shitty teams in his prime. Put that Grant with Wade and Bosh and I wouldn't be surprised if he puts up similar numbers.

Grant Hill was a beast.

I don't know if numbers matter. What matters is if he could fit alongside those guys and win a ring. I think he probably could win at least one and maybe more. The NBA was very down those years. It's impossible to say what would have happened, but I think he could have done alright.

The question is could he make plays down the stretch or would Wade be able to make the plays that LeBron made? I think it's more that than "Bron gives you 4 more points, 1.7 more assists..."

Zero Rings. Prime Grant Hill was a terrible playoffs performer.

Did we ever really to see prime Hill? He got injured in 2000 at 27, just coming into prime. What we saw from 94 to 2000 was great, but not Lebron level.

This a 18 to 22 yrs.old Lebron was better than Prime Hill.

I find this unfair because he had such a terrible team. Had his team been better, there would be less pressure on him.

This is a great excuse for Grant Hill, but is a terrible excuse for Mitch Richmond by Insidehoops Logic. **** OUTTA HERE. Grant Hill's Pistons teams weren't that bad when he had Allan Houston and later Jerry Stackhouse as second options.

OP is a 42 yrs.old Jordan Stan. If you look at Hills playoffs stats are not even pretty good.

They would have losed in ECF each time.

Neither did he come close to sniffing Lebron's type of scoring skills, jumpshot, defense, decision making, vision/passing and clutch play on both ends (did i forget anything).... which was the deciding factor (especially defense) in that ECF series that got them to the Finals.... Lebron before that Finals series played some amazing ball, especially in that ECF where he literally had to carry everybody (Bosh struggled & Wade played worse than Lebron did vs Mavs) and very literally shut down Derrick Rose defensively.... easy to erase/forget how great Lebron was that playoffs due to that Mavs series...

With that being said its especially in 2011 playoffs where i think he/Miami would have the toughest time just trying to survive the ECF...

They win it in 2011 but I don't think they have a chance in the finals the other years.
