LeBron James IS what Grant Hill COULD'VE been. Agree/Disagree?

[Haymaker]

Poor mans Lebron

josh smith is a pf

Josh Smith gets just .4 rebounds per game more...and he's a PF

I know you bandwagoners don't really watch any games so I'm just gonna tell you this straight up: Lebron plays PF way more often than Josh this year

[Dave3]

This is a solid comparison actually. LeBron is alittle better then Grant Hill (in his prime) at everything. LeBron is faster, shoots alittle better from 3, bigger and stronger. But Hill could break down his man better, overall Hill had better individual moves. Hills mid range game was better, Bron post up better.

The biggest difference imo was on the defensive end. Hill didn't start playing great def till he got to phoenix, and even then Bron is just a better overall defender.

He's more than a little bit better. He's a much better scorer, and he's also much better at shooting 3s. LeBron shot 41% on 3s this year on 3 attempts a game. Grant Hill's best during that span was 35% on 1 attempt a game.

LeBron's career average is 34% on 4 attempts, Hill's was 26% on .5 attempts.

Not really. Haslem and Bosh start and Battier plays alot at the 4. Lebron more often than not is playing outside running the offense. Josh Smith is inside all the time and way more of a traditional PF.

LeBron was better than Grant Hill EVER was as a 2nd year player, at 19 years old.

This site shows how many boards Josh Smiths gets when logging minutes at SF compared to what LeBron gets at SF.

Change both their positions to SF and see for yourself.

Grant Hill COULD'VE never been the joke LeBron has become. He was an awesome player, but can't touch LeBron when it comes to being immature.

Grant Hill without injuries is a more offensive-minded, softer version of Scottie Pippen.

[pauk]

That there was his best after many years.... similar type of breed/style of players, but he was more closer to the level of a Pippen, without the defense.

[Hoopz2332]

hill and lebron really aren't that similar outside of the fact that they were all around players. lebron is a far better scorer w/o question.

[Sarcastic]

Grant Hill is so overrated on this forum. He has nothing on Lebron James, and never COULD be at that level.

[Legends66NBA7]

More like what Tracy McGrady could've been. I'd say even Vince Carter.

[Psycho]

Grant Hill don't choke yo. This be an embarrassment yo.

Grant Hill was just as much of 2nd round virgin as T-mac

[I.R.Beast]

Hill would never have sniffed 27 ppg, 57% shooting, 41% from three, 8 rebounds and 7 assists

hill never had wade and bosh to inflate his efficiency

[wakencdukest]

Who can really say how good Grant Hill would have been? Injuries cut his career in half. He was well on his way to becoming one of the best players in the league, and was definitely the most versatile. Personally, I think he could have done everything LeBron does, except he didn't dominate the ball half as much.
