Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

In a sports world of inflated salaries and even more inflated egos, Grant Hill is a refreshingly modest voice for change. Young players especially will enjoy this book about what it was like to grow up as the son of a pro football great and how Grant himself became a star basketball player at Duke and then Rookie of the Year in the NBA. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Basketball Biography I've Read, December 22, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Change the Game: One Athlete's Thoughts on Sports, Dreams, and Growing Up (Hardcover)

Grant Hill's book was very enjoyable, and it was very to-the-point. This was the best basketball biography I've read yet. The only problem was that it was over too soon. I finished this book way too quickly.

This book is basically about Grant's ideals that he learned from his parents. It's a very quick read and if you like Grant Hill, then I would suggest you check this out. If you aren't much of a Grant Hill fan, then don't purchase this.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Change the Game: One Athlete's Thoughts on Sports, Dreams, and Growing Up (Paperback)

This book is mainly about the life of Grant Hill and his basketball career. Grant Hill's Basketball career started in jr. high and went through high school. Grant Hill got his NBA scholarship in high school, and he now plays for the Pistons. He is not like any other basketball player. When Grant Hill does something good he doesn't rub it in the opponent's face, he just keeps playing. I think that Grant Hill is a very inspiring athlete to younger kids.
I think that Grant Hill would be a cool, and fun person to hangout with because he says in the book that he has a good personality and that he doesn't just thinks about himself or his money. He thinks about his family and his fans. Grant Hill has a very simple life outside of his basketball career. Besides all of his fans wanting autographs! When Grant Hill goes out to eat somewhere he can't eat in peace he always hast to sign autographs for someone. But other than that Grant Hill lives a simple life. Grant Hill is a very inspiring athlete to younger kids, and me!
