I Don't Like Duke but I Like Grant Hill

ESPN's 30 for 30 recently had an episode called The Fab Five about the Michigan players from 1991-93 including Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Jimmy King, Ray Jackson and Juwan Howard.  In the documentary, they addressed players who were at Duke during the same time (enter Grant Hill), calling them "Uncle Tom's". I'll leave a minute for that to digest.......

Now, Grant Hill. He is obviously shocked by the comments and offended, as he should be. In response to these statements made, Grant Hill wrote a contributed article for The New York Times college sports blog, The Quad. It is well written, addresses all the issues at hand, doesn't attack anyone and overall gets an A in my book. The only thing I don't like about it.... the fact that he did actually go to Duke (Go Wildcats!). Otherwise, Grant represents himself, his family, his alumni and The Suns well with this piece.
