Grant Hill is a Duke Graduate, with honors, (I am sure you wouldn't have a chance to apply let alone gat accepted into that University) so maybe you should check what you say, and most of them don't drop out they leave for a job that is willing to pay them millions of dollars, not like you who makes what????

To: Grant Hill .... yes we need change, change from knuckleheads like you that make $20,000,000 per year and bitch about it. A totally classless guy.

that figures did u hear him . he said im a republican because of my tax bracket what does that tell us people. only the rich are republicans. if things stay the way they are with the economy i guess he will be a democrat soon because the gap between the rich class and the poor is getting wider everyday.

Why do these guys have to be chimps????? Were they chimps when they bought a gold medal back from Beijing??? I'll admit, Carmelo Anthony's reply was a bit... tasteless, but chimp he is not. And so what if they left school early to go to the NBA. It's their right. They have the God-given talent, let them use it. Furthermore, Mr. Hill never said that the economy is bothering him, he spoke in general of the country's economical state. So Chris, instead of being upset at his $20M contract, pick up a ball hit the gym and go get a contract yourself sir. The most unbelievable comment to me was from Mr. Hawes. You have to be kidding me. He's voting for McCain due to his tax bracket? Are you serious? And by the way Mr. Hawes, Fox News Network has got to be the most biased close-minded group of idiots ever assembled. Isn't the media supposed to be unbiased???

Sorry Chris, I meant to direct that contract remark to Danny instead of you.

Yep, the media is supposed to be unbiased, so what about the blatant adoration shown for Marxist/Communist/Socialist Barack Obama in many media outlets? Really, how much did it cost the Obama campaign to get a year-long infomercial on all the major networks?

Well if you didn't know Carmelo was in business with Michael Jordan,you know now. "Republicans buy my shoes". Wow. These guys want their image to be so generic,that they won't give an opinion on anything. Image sells $$$$$$$$$.

LOL, you think CNN isn't biased? How about CBS? I guess we only consider someone biased if they're biased AGAINST our point of view!

I love it! Spencer Hawes is my favorite NBA player after seeing this clip. Grant Hill relates to the Dems since he spent 3 years collecting paychecks without working.

Grant Hill might think differently about how much he wants Obama's Marxist view of "change" when his tax bill quadruples under an Obama presidency.

This crap is really crazy. To me if a person votes for McCain or Obama it's their choice. It shouldn't matter if they are rich or poor. Having the most money doesn't make you richer than I am because I am sure they have more problems than I have with all their money. If you haven't noticed by now but the rich are having to fore close on their houses just like the poor. Maybe these guys are voting for Obama because they are tired of all the mess from the Republicans and want a change. So if Obama is this so called Marist/Communist/Socialist then what is McCain?
