Grant Hill wants to continue to play after this season.

There were indications that he would retire after the season. Hill is 39-years-old, and would like to play for another year or two.

He signed a one-year deal with the Phoenix Suns before the season. And he would like to end his career in Phoenix.

Since the All-Star break, he is averaging 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 0.9 steals per game. He is also shooting 53% from the field.

He has seen a resurgence in his career since arriving in Phoenix in the summer of 2007. Since that time, he has not appeared in less than 65 games in a season.

At 39, Hill plans to continue playing in NBA

MIAMI -- When Grant Hill showed up in Phoenix in 2007, he thought he would play two more years and retire. So much for that plan. Hill, 39, is in his fifth season with the Suns. And the small forward said before Tuesday's game against Miami at AmericanAmerican Arena he plans to be back next season for another one. "I definitely think I can go another year, maybe two,...

The Sizzling Phoenix Suns Cheerleaders

It’s tough to pay much attention to the Suns right now.   They’re not the same run and gun squad they used to be.  It’s just not as fun.  Though I do think that Steve Nash should get credit for having what might be the best season of any player over the age of 35 ever.  And he happens to be 38, yes 38! I don’t know what kind of steroids he started taking about 6 years...

Grant Hill crafts lasting NBA legacy

By Chris Tomasson FOXSportsFlorida.com MIAMI - When LeBron James was growing up and Grant Hill played at Duke, James wasn't a fan. "No one liked Duke," James said. But after Hill entered the NBA in 1994 and joined the Detroit Pistons, it became much cooler in his Akron, Ohio, neighborhood to dig him. And James went all out. "I had his shoes when I was younger...

Markieff Morris May Have Made The Worst Consecutive Passes In Basketball History

I like Markieff Morris.  How anyone could not like a player who describes himself as a “garbage man” is beyond me.  That being said, he may have made the worst consecutive passes in the history of basketball as the Suns crushed the Rockets on Sunday evening.  Watch as he lazily swings the ball directly to Goran Dragic, leading to a dunk, then beams the ensuing inbound pass...

Steve Nash, future fashion model? (Picture)

We all know that Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash is one wild and crazy guy but it seems that after he retires from the NBA, he has a new career path in mind.Check out the below picture shot by former teammate Boris Diaw for Nike which features Nash juggling a soccer ball:(Courtesy of Tweets Center)

Grant Hill's impact on NBA is lasting

Too hot to handle, too big for Suns

From the opening tip it was clear the Suns were going to be a step behind. The ball whipped around the perimeter quickly and always seemed to find Ryan Anderson open beyond the arc. When it got inside, Marcin Gortat, left on an island against Howard as he often was in practice when he was with the Magic, was defenseless against the Dwight Howard brute force. Orlando was playing...

Heat use late run to squeak by Suns

The Phoenix Suns made two straight 3-pointers to go up 90-80 with seven-and-a-half minutes remaining in the game, putting the Miami Heat in serious jeopardy of losing their 13-game home winning streak. But on a night in which the Heat looked flat at times, Miami went on one of their more memorable fourth-quarter runs this season. The Heat used stifling defense and crisp offense...
