"It makes me shudder a bit that I didn't flinch more," Hill said, who admits now that he had no idea what he was getting himself into.

TAYLORSVILLE-The Rocky Mountain Revue featured a rematch of the 2007 Western Conference Finals. Well, sort of. There was no Tim Duncan, Tony Parker or Manu Ginobli playing for the Spurs.
