After three years in Golden State, Hill was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the summer of 1993. [3] On November 25, 1994, Hill scored 25 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and recorded seven assists while leading the Cavaliers to a 96–94 win over the Washington Bullets. [4] 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 [5] (and ranked second in the NBA). [1] [3] Hill was sent to the Milwaukee Bucks in a 1997 three-team deal involving notably Terrell Brandon and Shawn Kemp, [3] and after his Bucks tenure spent the remainder of his career between the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland (2 stints; 1993–94 to 1996–97 and 2001–02 to 2002–03 [1] ), and the Miami Heat. [3]

As the starting power forward for Philadelphia, Hill teamed up with Theo Ratliff and later with Dikembe Mutombo [6] with whom he played in the 2001 NBA Finals, [6] losing to the Los Angeles Lakers. [6] 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. [7] [8] [9]

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. [10]
