Grant Hill

Did anyone see Grant Hill in the ABC studios last night? High comedy. He was so over-the-top, like some caricature of someone trying poorly to be a broadcaster. It was as if he was trying to make every single word he excruciatingly deliberately articulated seem like the most important thought in the history of time. His performance was actually quite reminiscent of the man sitting next to him, Bill Walton, except with different vocal patterns. The two even exchanged some mutual man-love to start the broadcast, something to the effect of

Hill: "Thank you ... for having me. ................................................................... And what a .......................... tremendous ...................... honor.... to be sitting ........................ here with a ............... top-50 Hall of Famer ....................... Mr. Bill Walton."

Walton: "NAY, GRANT, IT IS I WHO AM HONORED TO BE HERE WITH YOU ON THIS LIFE-CHANGING DAY! THAT YOU WOULD DEIGN TO GRACE US WITH YOUR MAGNIFICENT PRESENCE IS A POWERFULLY HUMBLING EXPERIENCE, ONE THAT I SHALL SURELY TREASURE TO THE END OF MY DAYS!!"

I can only hope that Hill finds a job in TV when he retires as a player. I'd ask that he always be paired with Walton, but that would be too much to hope for. And my head might explode.
