"The View" star Jones chatted with Grant Hill's wife Tamia, while actors Matthew Modine, Peter Boyle, Chazz Palminteri and Michael Imperioli, aka "The Sopranos" Christopher, swapped stories with the Pistons free agent. The Knicks used celebrity pitching to recruit Hill on Wednesday as team officials tried to convince him his best chance to win an NBA championship was in New York.
But despite all the pomp, circumstances and promises, the All-Star forward ultimately turned down the offer. Instead, unconfirmed reports came out of Detroit last night that Hill told Pistons general manager Joe Dumars that he would accept Orlando's six-year contract for $67.
