Hill, who is an executive advisor for the Sixers, is around for times like these, not when Embiid is scoring 33 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking five shots, as he did in the Sixers’ Game 3 victory. “Our relationship goes back before he got on the basketball court,” Hill said. “His personality and mine kind of clicked. One word came to another.”
His claim to fame is the creation of the Sonny Hill Community Involvement League in 1968. It became the premier amateur league for the best players from Philadelphia and the region, including Kobe Bryant.
