Congratulations, Grant Hill!

Ok, no surprise in Dwight Howard winning another Defensive Player of the Year award.

Our 38 year young small forward finished seventh overall and even received one first place vote.

I'm not sure when the all-defensive teams will be announced, but given his overall position on the DPotY ballot and considering that three players ahead of him are centers (Howard, Bogut, Chandler), there may be a chance for Grant to make the all-defensive first team. Of course, LeBron is right behind him and will probably snatch a spot, but who knows.

Either way, it's nice to see that recognition for Grant - especially since our defensive this year wasn't that great overall...

Nice to see him on the list but I won't be satisfied unless he makes the all defensive team.

+1
He would have been placed higher too if the Suns had made the playoffs.

That says a lot about one Grant Hill.

Grant Hill is going to be a big name in pro basketball long after his retirement. I really do not expect him to coach, but I do expect him to hold league office type of positions.

Perhaps, one day, Commish? That would be a plus for the NBA.
