Grant Hill Wants Charlie Crist to Get the Ball

Former NBA star Grant Hill sent a fundraising email out on behalf of former Gov. Charlie Crist on Thursday night.

I was on a lot of great teams in college and in the pros. But this fall I'm thrilled to be on the People's Team -- on Charlie's team, Hill wrote. I live in Florida and love this state, but Rick Scott is taking us in the wrong direction. He killed a job-creating high-speed rail project between my home city of Orlando and Tampa -- and he won't raise the minimum wage or fight for equal pay.

A star player at Duke University, Hill was a seven-time All Star in the almost two decades he played in the NBA despite injury problems. Hill played for the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Clippers.
