God, it's so refreshing watching an NBA game where every player isn't flopping to the ground every time they drive to the lane or launching an ill-advised 3 every other possession.

[jekubb]

grant hill was so nice! he wasn't settling for 3's when there was space! he was in attack mode!

[azikkii]

This period of time was peak NBA basketball. The NBA will never be better than what it was in the 90’s and early 2000’s

[brandonreed]

Chick Hearn was such a good commentator

[Leftyin]

Classic GREAT footage! Grant was surgical before the injury, almost didn’t recognize slim Diesel 🤣, Kobe, EJ, and Van Exel…simply classic! 👍👍👍👍

[georgeclark]

Chick Hearns voice was absolutely soothing to hear, the real commentary.

[GreyBeard_Fit]

G. Hill was 6'8" with the handle and cat-quick 1st step of a fast-twitch 6'0" point guard. It's like he was gliding.

[jchung]

Grant Hill is still one of my favourite players of all time.
The man was smooth!

[dthomason]

Wow…I got chills watching these highlights. This is when I really enjoyed watching the NBA and as a Lakers fan, it was heaven. Bean will always be my guy.

[torrisfairley]

Grant Hill was dangerous before the injuries.

[fortheculture]

That otis Thorpe dunk was a special move. And even Tho these pistons didn't go far they was exciting to watch with Terry mills 3s 🔥🔥🔥

[JordanLamont-hgxq]

Man Grant Hill had Pure Talent. MF could do everything

[kerry-jm]

Grant Hill was such a-GREAT-player and I LOVE-the Piston's uniforms back then-NICE.Shaq gave up 3/4 dunks on those pick-n-roll plays, after the first 2 dunks, maybe the coach should've changed their coverage for that play.This is back when I'd never miss an nba game.

[RobTurner]

Times are not forgotten ghill was a silent killer effortlessly an Kobe was nice. G two years under his belt an Kobe fresh out. You can’t deny talent. If hill never got hurt man O man. Damn they were terrified of ghill pick an roll of doom

[SP-veim]

Love how all players actually defend... no easy baskets... this is what we are missing nowadays

[larsp]

Two of my favorite players of all time Ghill & Kobe

[crulio]

This was the first NBA game I ever went to, travelled all the way from Australia to see it :-)

[k.c.r.]

I must be getting old and sensitive because I get teary eyed watching this. Chick and Stu on commentary...healthy Grant Hill drinking Sprite and being one of the best players in the NBA...teenaged Kobe Bryant completely undeveloped and at about 15% and still able to take over games in the 13 minutes per game he was averaging...Wow. Being in L.A. and watching this team develop with the best big man in the game was special. We have been absolutely spoiled in Los Angeles at least up until lebron but it's ok one day he will be gone and we can get back to business. Awesome video once again VintageDawkins

Kobe Bryant, real deep dude, RIP 😢💔, respect 💪.

[dingsanchez]
