DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) — A week after the closure of the Dick’s Sporting Goods in New Hope Commons, a revamped version of the store has opened at The Streets at Southpoint.<\/p>\n
The new “Dick’s House of Sport” debuted Friday in Durham, offering athletic gear alongside interactive spaces for customers to test equipment. It is the second of its kind in North Carolina, with the other located in Fayetteville.<\/p>\n
The store features a climbing wall, golf bays, and a batting cage for baseball, softball, lacrosse, and soccer.<\/p>\n
Former Duke basketball star Grant Hill attended the grand opening, meeting with fans and reflecting on his time in the area.<\/p>\n
“It’s always good to be back in this area,” Hill said. “I get back maybe four or five times a year for trustee meetings and basketball games. I’m here more now in retirement than I was during my 19 years in the NBA. It’s always fun to come back.”<\/p>\n
ABC11 Eyewitness News also asked Hill about the viral dance routine he and his wife, six-time Grammy winner Tamia, posted. The couple’s line-dancing video to “Can’t Get Enough of You” has gained national attention as the “Tamia Line Dance.”<\/p>\n
“She and I posted it during COVID, which helped it go viral,” Hill said. “I taught her how to do her own dance, and if you look at the clip, I kind of killed her on it-as the kids say.”<\/p>\n
Tamia has yet to comment on who deserves credit for the viral routine.<\/p>\n
