Game: An Autobiography

Most sports fans will remember Hill’s highly successful college basketball career at Duke in the ’90s, where he won two NCAA championships, and his early NBA career in Detroit in 1994, where he earned an astonishing $45 million in his rookie year and was voted a starter in his first two NBA All-Star games. Hill’s autobiography details these well-known years of his early career, but also goes into his later basketball career and his life post-retirement, when after nearly 20 years playing basketball, Hill pivoted to successful network announcer and part-owner of an NBA franchise. Here Hill discusses not only his triumphs but also his many heartbreaks and setbacks, including a devastating ankle injury that derailed his playing career in its prime, and later a nearly fatal infection brought on by surgery. This detailed account gives readers great insight into Hill’s character and reveals a motivated and driven, yet honest and humble man who has emerged triumphantly and stronger after defeats, who’s clear about the goals and values he wants to live by. Even casual sports fans will find this autobiography inspirational and fulfilling.
