Thomas Hill (born August 31, 1971) is a retired American professional basketball player.

A 6'5" guard, Hill played at Duke University from 1989 to 1993, winning two NCAA Championships (1991 and 1992).[1][2] His teammates at Duke included Grant Hill (no relation[3]), Christian Laettner, and Bobby Hurley. Thomas Hill received Third Team All-ACC honors in 1991,1992, 1993 and was a team captain during his senior season.[4]

He played in 141 career games for Duke, 6th on their all-time list as of March 28, 2010; directly behind Jon Scheyer, and tied with Brian Davis.[5]

After graduating, Hill was selected by the Indiana Pacers in the 2nd round (#39 pick overall) of the 1993 NBA Draft.[6] He never played in the NBA, but he did play in the Australian National Basketball League for the Perth Wildcats.[7]

Hill's father is Olympic bronze medalist hurdler Thomas Hill.

Hill is perhaps best remembered for his emotional reaction after his Duke teammate Christian Laettner hit a last second shot to defeat Kentucky in the elite eight of the 1992 NCAA Tournament. After Laettner hit the shot, a CBS camera panned to Hill who appeared to be crying with his hands on top of his head.
