The only 2 players left in the NBA from the 1994 draft just retired within three days of each other.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Jason Kidd and Grant Hill, who were the 2nd and 3rd players picked in the 94 draft, and also shared the 1995\u00a0rookie-of-the-year award, both retire with stellar NBA resume’s.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Grant Hill won 2 Championships at the collegiate level with Duke, and also has an Olympic Gold in 96 with the 2nd coming of the original Dream Team. Hill, a 7-time All-Star and 5-time all NBA, was at one point is his career considered one of the best all around players often leading his team in points, rebounds, and assists.\u00a0 A promising career for Hill was plagued by multiple ankle surgeries, but he still came back to finish a better then average 19 yr career in the NBA.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Jason Kidd’s\u00a019 yr resume brought him 2 Olympic Gold Medals, 1 NBA Championship, and two other\u00a0trips to the NBA Finals.\u00a0 \u00a0Jason kidd also a 10 time All-Star, 6-time all NBA, 9 time all defense,\u00a0is also\u00a0the only player in NBA history with at least\u00a015,000 points, 10,000 assists and 7,000 rebounds.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Personally I would love to see these guys on the sidelines coaching one of these days, but you can guarantee you will be seeing Hall-of-fame speeches in their future.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Have a great day and let the good news be yours,<\/div>\n
