George Hill Sighting

[Old School 44]

My 2 boys and I saw him at HEB plus at 281 and Evans. I didn't see who he was with, but he was guarding two carts of food near the seafood section. Didn't want to start a run on him with the autograph/photo request, he was just shopping like everyone else. I did tell him congrats on the nice game yesterday and wished him good luck for tomorrow. He smiled shyly and said "Thanks". It was cool that people were saying "hi" to him, but not really bugging him. :toast

I think a lot of players like SA for just that reason. There is no cult of celebrity associated with Spurs players. You feel that they're like a neighbor or a friend of a friend.

[poop]

Bowen used to come into my heb all the time, he was always very friendly with everyone, carlisemo as well.

That boy's really focusing on his defense.

Yeah, but I had to laugh when my seven year old noticed a bag of chips in one of his carts and said as we walked away, "He likes chips just like us."

:lol

[01Snake]

I saw Mason today on Blanco Rd. in a convertible Bentley. He had the top down with a "why do I suck so bad" look on his face.

[mingus]

I saw George Hill in the sausage section one time.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

The spurs are always at h-e-b.

[Kori Ellis]

The spurs are always at h-e-b.

:lol That's what I was going to say. Most Spurs sightings are at H-E-B, Best Buy, PF Chang's or IHOP.

[spurs1990]

No Whole Foods in SA?

[longhorn]

No Whole Foods in SA?

There's a Whole Foods in the Quarry, who I'm pretty sure I remember someone seeing Matt Bonner at.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

Maybe they get a discount on that h-e-b fully cooked brisket, i would of told george to hook me up with som h-e-b wild red.

[01Snake]

I remember, back in the day, hitting up Jim's at around 3am after a night of partying and sure as shit, I'd always run into Antonio Daniels chowing down with a table full of hot chicks.

:lol

[MateoNeygro]

He's always had good defense. I bet nobody was able to put anything in his kart. Completely shut down everyone.

[TJastal]

:lmao

[poop]

The spurs are always at h-e-b.

thats whats funny, EVERYONE in sa has to go to HEB at some point. everyone has to eat/ buy groceries lol.

everyone in SA goes to the HEB nearest to them at least once a week and that includes spurs players/coaches (they are human too) :D

[MateoNeygro]

If I were famous I'd pay somebody to go so I wouldn't get mauled however, the Spurs are like someone said before a neighbor or a friend. So we show them respect and don't bother them when they are out too much. I met Horry once at a club and couldn't help myself I had to shake his hand. Lol.

ive seen other spurs around town but if i saw Horry i would honestly probably fall to my knees in worship bowing my arms up up and down

[jimo2305]

man.. yall are lucky.. ive only met kevin willis and antonio daniels at a walmart..

oh yeah.. eric williams was cool when he came to san antonio for his short stint with the spurs..

he'd come into the hotel and ask.. 'wheres my homeboy jimmy at?" lol..

reminds you that even the scrubbiest NBA players are still making a bloody SHITLOAD of money and will be set for life beyond what most of us can even imagine

[4>0rings]

Should of asked to take a pic with his member.

[Sisk]

i swear Bogans lives right around me.. saw him in a CL63 AMG at the gas station outside of my neighborhood and then in a range rover a few days later. odd

I can't imagine ever having a smile leave my face if I was rich enough to afford a convertible Bentley. Not that I'd waste my money on that shit.

[poop]

it helps if your body grows to 6 foot 8 (+) with exceptional athleticism and reflexes. all these bastards won the genetic Lottery, they probably have legit 8 inch cocks too.

oh, you mean the 'i made multiple millions' eddie griffin? :rolleyes

[TheDarkSide.]

Yeah I remember seeing Timmy at Costco over by UTSA and not going up to him but saying "Holy Shit it's Tim Duncan" out loud and he looked at me like "WTF?" haha, then i picked up my nephew and kind of told him he was looking at the greatest in the franchise history. Really memorable and funny moment i won't ever forget. :)

[Kamala]

I saw J.R. Reid putting gas in a suburban at valero 1604 stone oak parkway. I didn't know he stayed here.

[Interrohater]

I was working at a club a few years ago (I won't name which!) and I met Timmy, Sean Elliott, Tony, Cherokee Parks (that dude is hilarious!), Devin Brown, Steve Smith and even Derek Fisher. I also asked Fisher if he was a Spurs fan. He said "No, I play for the Lakers." He's a lot shorter in person, I totally didn't recognize him.

[01Snake]

Monty Williams used to live in the apartment next door to me. Bastard backed into my 300zx and vehemently denied it when I went over and confronted him about it. I was in my damn apartment and saw him friggin' do. His GF or wife answered the door and I said Monty backed into my car. Monty came to the door and was a total asshole. Denied he did it and asked if I knew who he was. He then goes on a rant saying he could by 10 of my cars or some shit like that. After lobbing a few verbal volleys at him he started to come outside and get into my face. About that time, his women told him to get back inside.

Needless to say, the asshole didn't pay for the damages and it would have basically been my word against his so I just paid for the damages myself.

Not to be negative, but I would have called the police as soon as I saw that it happened before going over to his place to confront him.

And yeah, he definitely is an a-hole for reacting like that. He has insurance too... he should have just manned up and admitted his wrong doing.

[Man In Black]

oh, you mean the 'i made multiple millions' eddie griffin? :rolleyes


You said and I quote:

His life was proof, that it ain't always awesome. Do you agree?




NBA career

Despite his outstanding stats at Seton Hall, questions about his attitude made him slip to the 7th pick of the 2001 NBA Draft, where he was selected by the New Jersey Nets. Griffin's draft rights were immediately traded to the Houston Rockets for Jason Collins, Brandon Armstrong, and the rights to Richard Jefferson.
In his rookie year during the 2001–02 season, Griffin played in 73 games (starting 24) while averaging 8.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.84 blocks per game (ranking 13th in the NBA in that category). He followed with another solid year in 2002–03, averaging 8.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.44 blocks per contest.
However, Griffin suffered from alcoholism, and his troubles piled up quickly over the following year. In December 2003, the Rockets released him after he missed practices and a team flight. Griffin signed with the Nets in January 2004, but missed the entire 2003-04 season when he entered an alcohol rehabilitation center.
Prior to the 2004–05 season, the Timberwolves signed Griffin to a one-year contract, and for that season he put up roughly the same numbers he had in his two previous seasons. The Timberwolves re-signed Griffin for three years (player option in the third), starting with the 2005–06 season. Griffin had a relatively significant drop off in scoring and rebounding (whilst suffering only a slight drop in minutes per game), while averaging a career-high in blocks per game (2.11).
In 2006, Griffin was involved a car accident in which he rammed his SUV into a parked car. He was allegedly watching pornographic videos and masturbating at the time of the incident. This came shortly after a stop-off at a nearby convenience store where a security video tape caught Griffin professing his intoxication.[4]
In March 2007, Griffin was released by the Timberwolves, who had grown tired of his attitude and off-court troubles. [5]


Death

Eddie Griffin died as a result of a car crash on August 17, 2007 at about 1:30 a.m.[6] Houston police said in a report that Griffin ignored a railroad warning and went through a barrier before striking a moving train. The resulting fire burned Griffin's SUV and the side of a railcar carrying plastic granules.[6] Griffin's body was badly burned and there was no initial identification. Dental records later revealed the man was Griffin. He had more than three times the legal alcohol limit in his system when he crashed, according to an autopsy report. The Harris County Medical Examiner's office said the 25-year-old Griffin died of "multiple blunt force injuries." The medical examiner's office performed tests on Griffin's bile and blood from his heart and liver and determined his blood-alcohol level was 0.26. The legal limit in Texas is 0.08. Tests found no traces of cocaine, barbiturates or any other narcotics.[7] Former Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey said he had not talked to Griffin in five or six months, but he knew that Griffin was spending the summer trying to get back in shape to play in Europe the next season.[8] He was buried in Northwood Cemetery in Philadelphia.[9] He is survived by a 3-year-old daughter named Amaree.[10]

The only nba player I've ever met was Antonio Daniels at some gym here on the southside of SA. We kept on telling him to dunk but he was being a bitch and didn't want to.

[SsKSpurs21]

george hill lives right next to that HEB on 281 and evans. he lives 4 houses down from me. derrick dial (very short stint as a spur) also used to live in the same neighborhood. ive also seen jacque vaughn at the HEB on 281 and evans.

[resistanze]

I saw George Hill in the sausage section one time.
:lmao

[noles1983]

couple years back at the IHOP at 1604 and 281 I saw this NICE white mercedes in the parking lot. I opened the door to go inside and out of the corner of my eye saw someone behind me so i held the door open. I turned around to see Timmy, Holy ish is that guy tall. He was real cool, it was like 1:00 in the morning after a game and he sat a couple tables down, the whole place was empty. He had an omelette, it looked good i think it had ham in it.

[Old School 44]

What the fuck is this I always hear SA people seeing/meeting players everywhere. I live 10 minutes from DC/VA in MD and I NEVER see any players from any sports team here

I lived/worked in the DC Metro area for 15 years, and only saw one player, 7ft+ George Muresan at Pentagon City Mall. Believe me, he wasn't hard to spot.

I just think the DC Metro area (Northern VA, DC, Maryland) is just bigger with more secluded, gated communities. And the traffic out there is terrible, if I had any money, I'd probably send somebody to get my groceries etc.

I agree, plus you have like 10 million people in the metro area there. SA has less than 2 million, and almost all of the Spurs live on the Northside.

Ounce Steakhouse in Stone Oak is the spot for player sightings this year. Large groups of players and families in there all the time.

[sa_butta]

I have seen him a few times in the Bentley as well.

[sa_butta]

I have also seen Pop at the cleaners and the gas station around the practice facility. I use to see Matt bonner driving every morning to practice also.

u must live in da hood

[Mixability]

There's a Whole Foods in the Quarry, who I'm pretty sure I remember someone seeing Matt Bonner at.

Yeah, getting bitched out by his girl. :lol

[TDomination]

I used to work at Regal Northwoods movie theater back in 2002 and many spurs players would go there. But I will never forget the first time I saw Duncan.

I was the one who was ripping the tickets and would tell them where there theater is. Well it was a Saturday night and it was busy and there were long lines, I would have my head down most of the time just grabbing a ticket, ripping it and the people would be on their way.

Then i hear a familiar voice and i see a huge hand giving me a ticket, before even ripping it, i look up and timmy is chatting it up with amy and some friends and my jaw dropped. After a few seconds, i ripped the ticket, told him where the theater was, told him to enjoy his movie of course and i kept his ticket stub and i still have it haha!

I just looked at him as he walked into the theater (he watched the Sum of all Fears) and i was ignoring the next person in line. It was great

[rjv]

:lol That's what I was going to say. Most Spurs sightings are at H-E-B, Best Buy, PF Chang's or IHOP.

yeah, what's up with the IHOP. although i did see elliott and rodman on separate occassions at la fogata.
