Grant Hill is an American professional basketball player. He has played for the Detroit Pistons, the Orlando Magic, the Phoenix Suns, and the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is 6′8″.
Grant is the son of Vivian Janet (McDonald) and Calvin Hill, a player of American football. He is married to Canadian singer and songwriter Tamia, with whom he has two children.
It is said that his father is African-American and his mother is biracial (African-American and European). It is not clear if this is accurate.
He is the owner of a substantial collection of African-American art, including works by Romare Bearden and Elizabeth Catlett.
His mother’s ethnic background could be right
Surely that look does not come out of nothing, and Grant himself screams something different than avg AA. We just have to check It.
He has stated:
“I have a special connection to the city (New Orleans). My grandmother lived there and my mother was raised there”.
