ROBB REPORT MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A GRANT HILL

          Pistons F GRANT HILL is interviewed by Jane Levere in
     the current issue of ROBB REPORT.  Hill, on his image: "I
     can be a nice guy, and I can be an asshole, and I'm not
     perfect. ... [Y]ou try to be Mr. Nice, and then people
     criticize you for being Mr. Nice, and then you try to be Mr.
     Mean."  Hill, on why he severed ties with Advantage Int'l in
     June '97 to represent himself: "Instead of having my
     representative go in and meet on my behalf, I'm establishing
     that relationship, so hopefully it can grow to something
     bigger and better than just being a spokesperson."  Hill
     said his business strategy is that he'd "like to be involved
     in a lot of different things -- what those things are I'm
     not quite sure at this moment" (ROBB REPORT, 11/98 issue).
