Our very own Grant Hill will be playing in Steve Nash's annual celebrity soccer match in New York tomorrow. This isn't just any charity match though. Nash has put together a stellar group of pro soccer and basketball players. I went last year and got to see Nash, Thierry Henry, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, and Raja Bell show off their footy skills. Here's this year's notable players:

Grant Hill: 'Nuff said
Steve Nash: Could probably start for Canada's national soccer team
Claudio Reyna: Captain America of World Cup 2002 fame
Theirry Henry: Greatest Arsenal striker ever?
Tony Parker: French, so he must be good
Javier Zanetti: Argentine legend at Inter Milan
Chris Bosh: no idea he played
Raja Bell: Looks good in the video
Yao Ming: Will play if his foot feels healthy enough

Here's a link highlighting the "Showdown in Chinatown"

So how will Grant hold up against some of the best soccer players in the world? I think he's smart and crafty enough that he could do some damage in there. The match is at 6pm and attendence is free, so I'd encourage all Dukies in the area to check it out.

G-money must be feeling pretty confident in his ankle to be playing.
