Hill w a shout out to Malik.

[Blackjack]

I love this guy. :tu

[Chieflion]

Glad that Blair and Hill have been talking about playing in San Antonio for their careers.

[DPG21920]

^ with malik.

[Chieflion]

^ with malik.

We have to live with him being gone. I don't like it but I have to come to accept it. He needed the chance in Europe to prove something.

[elemento]

Love Hill

Great player, great guy !

[MoSpur]

Some guys get and some don't. GHill gets it. Glad he's a Spur.

[DesignatedT]

wow. very nice responses from George.

[Bender]

some of the questions this time were actually pretty good.

and his responses to all questions were good too.

[lefty]

Did he deny the TP rumors?

Hey George, recently DeJuan Blair told campers he wants to stay with the Spurs his entire career. Do you think you would also like to be a Spurs player your entire career?

GH : Me and DeJuan talk about that all the time. Actually me, DeJuan and Malik (Hairston) were talking about that. What we want to do is work very hard and eventually be the TD, TP and Manu type of thing. I look to see myself here for the rest of my career. I love it here, I love the city, it's a great first class organization and we have a great first class coach in Coach Pop who is like a father figure to us. I'll stay here my entire career if the opportunity is there.

:)

Glad he's a Spur and I hope he works on his D.

[JR3]

George Hill is my third favorite Spur behind Tim and Manu. I would not be happy if he ever got traded.

the mailbag is a quick and easy read, if you want to attempt it...

The guy has a good head on his shoulders. Its too bad there aren't more young players like him..There too many young players who are out for themselves. George clearly loves giving back to the coomunity. If he can get that 3 point range extended and work on that floater, this guy is only going to get better. I believe in the NBA you need to have the mentality to take on the toughest players in the league. It only makes you better. I mean Kobe was on the bench early in his career and we all saw his game against the Jazz..But perserverance pays off and work ethic it was make you become a better player. Its good to know George wants to get better. Even if the Spurs dont win a championship, I feel alot better knowing we have a first class organization who does things the right way. we have one of the smalles markets in the NBA and still are recognized as first class because of players like TIM, Manu, and George.

Nice

[blkroadrunners]

Marvin Sapp pwns.

[EmantheSpursFan]

I recently saw him at my job at North Star, he was looking for stink bombs (dont really know why though haha)
anyways he's a really down to earth guy, and didnt mind taking a few pictures with some customers as he was there. From David to Timmy and now George Hill, The spurs always seem to pick Good character guys that seem to break the stereotype that nice guys finish last.
:toast

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill is a great guy

[spurs10]

A good Joe!

[superbigtime]

Wow. I got some goosebumps reading those responses.

Now keep your dick in your pants and learn to guard old white point guards.

[Leonard Curse]

damn george youre a bad ass, i mean this guy has a heart and we need more of that not just for the spurs but in this life!! i think people like george carry great karma and will help influence the young guns i think dejuan could have headed in the wrong direction if he landed lets say in new york i mean i just think george is a true leader and it looks like we have alot of strong minded players

defin. increases our chances of a good future!!!!

:flag::flag::flag:

[timtonymanu]

Awesome questions. Great answers.

Hill is such a class act. I love how dedicated he is to pretty much everything. I need me a Hill jersey already.

[#2!]

Great responses from George, no wonder Pop raves about the guy.

:lol

[SenorSpur]

I really loved the part about him and Blair having ongoing discussions on being the next duo (or trio - if Malik comes back or if Alonzo Gee steps up) to carry the Spurs into the future. Love the dedication, desire and foresight.

[siraulo23]

there we go, Hill cant guard quicker point guards

starting him vs phx was a mistake that was a huge difference

[Buddy Holly]

Hill, Anderson, Blair and Tiago are the Spurs future fantastic four.

[mountainballer]

there we go, Hill cant guard quicker point guards


listen to Marvin Sapp before every game can do that to you.
hell, Marvin Sapp in a hot tube!
I would sleep for two weeks after that treatment.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully he doesn't hang out with Gary Neal too much this season..

[Interrohater]

Hill, Anderson, Blair and Tiago are the Spurs future fantastic four.

That right there gives me hope that we won't become a lottery team once Timmy leaves. :tu:

[ezau]

Wow, George is a great guy and I wouldn't have any doubts that he'll be successful in whatever he does in his life. It's amazing to think that he has improved by leaps and bounds only after two years in the NBA. I dunno, but that trio of Splitter, Hill, and Blair surely looks very promising even after TD and Manu retire.

[DBMethos]

I love me some G Hill. <3

[hater]

this man is Jesus incarnate!!!

halleluyah!!!

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Class.

Act.

Spurs keep finding not only great players, but great people as well. Proud that GHill is wearing the Silver and Black--gotta get me a no. 3 jersey now lol.
