You'd be better off watching the Beyond The Glory series on YouTubeBy Mark TwainWas not what I expected at all. So small you'd think it was a booklet turned in as a high school project. There are not many books about Grant Hill on the market. You'd be better off watching the Beyond The Glory series on YouTube.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great story about a great personBy ThibautGreat story about a great person! I enjoyed reading this book, not just because it has inspired me to continue my rehabilitation proces, also because it gives an image of how Grant Hill was as a person. A simple story about a great basketball player. More people should know about the greatness of Mister Hill, despite of all his injuries. Looking forward to read another book from autor Clayton Geoffreys! Learn the Incredible Story of Basketball’s Seasoned Veteran Grant Hill! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In Grant Hill: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Most Resilient Forwards, you'll read about the inspirational story of basketball's star, Grant Hill. Grant Hill was once the go-to man as a member of the Detroit Pistons. Despite several potentially career ending injuries, Grant persevered through countless surgeries and evolved his style of playing basketball to become a consistent contributing member of the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Clippers in the latter half of his career. While he never truly panned out to the contract expectations of Orlando Magic fans, his recovery from injury is an awe-inspiring one of perseverance and grit. Many never thought he would ever grace the courts with his play after his first major injury as a member of the Pistons. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and Childhood High School Years College Years at Duke Grant’s Personal Life Grant Hill’s Impact on Basketball and Beyond Grant Hill’s Legacy An excerpt from the book: There are few sports leagues today as grueling as the NBA. The NFL may be tougher per individual game, but they play just 16 games, with a normal rest of 1 week between games. Soccer’s Premier League may test its athletes to the limits with its lack of commercial breaks and constant activity, but even they just play 38 games in a season which lasts from August to April. The NBA plays 82 games, with teams sometimes playing back-to-back games and few days of rest over the course of a season. Then there are two additional months of playoffs, where a championship team will play somewhere between 16 and 28 additional games. Given the physicality of the NBA as well as the strain of the long season, the most important quality an athlete can possess is the ability to stay healthy. It does not matter how high you can jump, or how well you can shoot or pass, if your body is unable to handle the strain of the NBA. That simple fact has left a dark and saddening stain on the career of Grant Hill, a potential all-time great whose brilliant career was derailed by an ankle that would not heal. The particularly tragic part of Hill’s injury is that it could have been avoided. If he had listened to the screams of pain from his body which warned him that it could not take much more, he could have avoided the ankle injury which destroyed his career of greatness. But Hill chose to keep playing – partly out of pride, but partly out of a desire to avoid being hated. In a sense, Hill’s high moral character ended up destroying his career. But at the same time, that same character enabled him to persevere where others would have lost themselves to despair. Hill worked and worked to prove that he still belonged in the league, and managed to carve out a respectable niche for himself even after his many surgeries. It was yet another sign of how great he could have been if his body had been a little kinder to him.
