Hill hints at retirement
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sport...coll=orl-magic
Quote:
"At some point with the injuries, you've got to be smart. Let's keep our fingers crossed that nothing happens between now and then. . . . Five ankle surgeries, the sixth on the stomach [a sports hernia this season]. . . . You don't want to be in a situation, 10-15 years from now, where you can't have an active lifestyle or enjoy your family," Hill said.
"I don't think it's to that degree, but the stress of the NBA season. . . . The body is not made for that. I'm an example of that."

"I knew going in this would end and when it ends it ends, you've got to move on," Hill said. "I'm not trying to get premature, but yeah. . . . retirement. It's real."

Sources close to Hill say they wouldn't be surprised if he'd play for the Magic for the veteran's minimum (about $1.5 million) to close out his career.

Class act. The Magic have a chance to be great if he does that.

Re: Hill hints at retirement
I am amazed that Hill is still playing. Gotta give him credits for hanging around for as long as he has. Hope he doesn't get injured soon.

Re: Hill hints at retirement
I'd hate to see Hill retire now....In the few games he's played this season he's shown he still has a lot of game left in him.

Its more a mental thing. This injury isn't even close to the final straw, but he's starting to realize, mentally, that he's coming to the end of his rope. And I don't doubt that stride changes due to the ankle injuries and favoring the ankle, keeping it out of danger, etc.... are causing the groin issues and will continue to. Altering your gait at all causes nothing but trouble.
