Question: in the 1996–97 Detroit Pistons season, Grant Hill finished 3rd in MVP voting behind Karl Malone and another Basketball player born in which year ?
Context: The 1998–99 NBA season was the 11th season for the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Heat signed free agents Terry Porter and Clarence Weatherspoon.  In the shortened NBA season, the Heat won 18 of their first 23 games, despite Jamal Mashburn playing just 24 games due to a knee injury, and Voshon Lenard missing 38 games with a broken leg.  Miami finished with a 33–17 win-loss record, which earned them the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference.  Alonzo Mourning was named Defensive Player of the Year, and finished second in MVP voting behind Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz. Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963), also known by his initials, MJ, is an American retired professional basketball player, businessman, and principal owner and chairman of the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and also is a part owner of the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). The 2002–03 NBA season was the 14th season for the Orlando Magic in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Magic signed free agent All-Star forward Shawn Kemp.  The rise of Tracy McGrady into a superstar was completed as he won his first scoring title with 32.1 points per game, while being selected for the 2003 NBA All-Star Game.  However, with Grant Hill playing just 29 games due to injury, and Horace Grant only playing just five games with a sore left knee, it seemed as if he was all alone again.  Midway through the season, the Magic traded Mike Miller to the Memphis Grizzlies for rookie Drew Gooden as they finished fourth in the Atlantic Division with a record of 42–40.  However, in the first round of the playoffs, they lost to the top-seeded Detroit Pistons four games to three after taking a 3–1 series lead.  Following the season, Kemp retired, Darrell Armstrong signed as a free agent with the New Orleans Hornets, and Grant re-signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 1996–97 NBA season was the Jazz's 23rd season in the National Basketball Association, and 18th season in Salt Lake City, Utah.  For the season, the Jazz changed their logo that more closely reflects the state of Utah featuring purple mountains, and sky blue in the script.  The new colors seemed to agree with the Jazz as they went on a 15-game winning streak after a 2–2 start to the season.  The Jazz then posted a 31–4 record after the All-Star break, and finished first place in the Western Conference with a franchise best record of 64–18.  Karl Malone averaged 27.4 points and 9.9 rebounds per game as he took home MVP honors.  He was also selected for the 1997 NBA All-Star Game along with John Stockton. The 2007–08 Detroit Pistons season was the 67th season of the franchise, the 60th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 51st in the Detroit area.  The Central Division Pistons finished the regular season with a 59–23 record, 14 games ahead of the second place Cavaliers.  Their 59 wins were the third most in franchise history.  In the NBA Playoffs, Detroit advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the sixth consecutive time since 2003, making them the first team since the 1986–87 Los Angeles Lakers to appear that many consecutive times in their respective Conference Finals.  The Pistons lost to the eventual NBA champions Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals four games to two. The 2009–10 Detroit Pistons season was the 69th season of the franchise, the 62nd in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 53rd in the Detroit area.  The Pistons missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2000–01 NBA season.  The Pistons finished with their most disappointing record since 1994–95 when they finished 27–55.  The season involved Allen Iverson getting traded to the Memphis Grizzlies. The 1996–97 NBA season was the Pistons' 49th season in the National Basketball Association, and 40th season in the city of Detroit.  During the offseason, the Pistons re-signed free agent Rick Mahorn, who was a member of the championship team in the 1989 NBA Finals.  The team also acquired Stacey Augmon and Grant Long from the Atlanta Hawks, but later on sent Augmon to the Portland Trail Blazers for Aaron McKie at midseason.  The Pistons got off to a fast start winning ten of their first eleven games on their way to a 20–4 start.  However, they went 34–24 for the remainder of the season finishing third in the Central Division with a 54–28 record.  Grant Hill averaged 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game, while finishing third in MVP voting behind Karl Malone and Michael Jordan.  Hill along with Joe Dumars, and head coach Doug Collins represented the Eastern Conference during the 1997 NBA All-Star Game. The 1979–80 Detroit Pistons season was the Pistons' 32nd season in the NBA and 23rd season in the city of Detroit.  The Pistons were coming off a 30–52 record from their first season in the Eastern Conference and aiming to halt declines of six and eight wins from their previous two seasons, but by finishing 16–66 they suffered the worst record in franchise history, and the worst NBA record since the infamous 1972–73 Philadelphia 76ers won only nine games.  Injuries to prolific-scoring recruit Bob McAdoo and center Bob Lanier, who was traded during the season, left the Pistons without a star player and the team finished with fourteen consecutive defeats. The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Pistons' 52nd season in the National Basketball Association, and 43rd season in the city of Detroit.  During the offseason, the Pistons re-signed free agents Terry Mills and Michael Curry.  After the retirement of Joe Dumars, the Pistons were now led by Grant Hill and Jerry Stackhouse as they provided a 1-2 scoring punch, and were both selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game.  However, as the season wounded down, Hill suffered a devastating ankle injury.  Head coach Alvin Gentry was fired after a 28–30 start, and was replaced with George Irvine as the Pistons finished fourth in the Central Division with a 42–40 record.  In the first round of the playoffs, they were swept by the Miami Heat in three straight games.  Following the season, Hill was traded to the Orlando Magic, Lindsey Hunter was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, Christian Laettner was dealt along with Loy Vaught to the Dallas Mavericks, and Mills signed as a free agent with the Indiana Pacers. The 2005–06 Detroit Pistons season was the 65th season of the franchise, the 58th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 49th in the Detroit area.  They Pistons began the season hoping to improve upon their 54–28 output from the previous season and have another chance of going to the NBA Finals after losing to the San Antonio Spurs in last season's NBA Finals in seven games.  They bested it by ten games, finishing 64–18—their best record in franchise history—and qualifying for the playoffs for the fifth straight season.  The Pistons defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in five games in the first round, and the Cleveland Cavaliers in a tough hard fought seven game series to reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the fourth consecutive year before losing to the eventual NBA champions Miami Heat, whom they had beaten in a seven-game playoff series the year before.  Detroit's offseason was soon marked by the departure of star defensive player Ben Wallace, who signed a free-agent deal with the Chicago Bulls.
