Tyrone Hill (born March 19, 1968 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is a retired American basketball player and, since 2008–09, assistant coach for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks.[1] Hill spent four years playing collegiately at Xavier University, in his last season averaging 20.2 points and 12.6 rebounds per game, while shooting 58.1% from the field[2]. The Golden State Warriors selected him with the eleventh pick of the 1990 NBA Draft[3].
After three years in Golden State, Hill was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the summer of 1993[3]. Playing under Mike Fratello, Hill earned an All-Star Game appearance in 1995[3]. He set Cleveland's single-season franchise record by shooting a career-best 60.0% from the field[4] (and ranked second in the NBA)[3].[1] Hill was sent to the Milwaukee Bucks in a 1997 three-team deal involving notably Terrell Brandon and Shawn Kemp[3], and spent the remainder of his career between the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland (2 stints; 1993-94 to -97 and 2001- 03[1]), and the Miami Heat[3].
As the starting power forward for Philadelphia, Hill teamed up with Theo Ratliff and later with Dikembe Mutombo[5] with whom he played in the 2001 NBA Finals[5], losing to the Los Angeles Lakers[5]. He is frequently referred to as the ultimate "lunch pail and hard hat" player, due to his rugged style of play and relentless defense and rebounding prowess. [6][7][8]
Hill had a career field-goal shooting percentage of 50.2 and free-throw percentage of 63[3].
Tyrone also owned a Cincinnati, Ohio based record company called All Net Records and released various singles and albums by groups including OTR Clique, D'Meka, Renaizzance, and KompoZur[9].
