Funny story from/about Grant Hill. May be folklore, but still good. One day when he was little, Grant went over to visit a friend's house. This friend's parents were not particularly well off (compared to Calvin Hill who is?). When Grant got home he said to his dad in wonderment, "Dad we're rich aren't we?". Calvin replied, "No, I'm rich. On the other hand, you are poor. Everything you have comes from me. If you want it for yourself you have to go earn it." I'd say Grant took that lesson to heart.

Great story. Grant has obviously worked hard to get his money. Too bad his ankle went to hell. I'm hearing he is considering yet another surgery. Most would have taken the guaranteed money and quit about 4 surgeries ago.
