George Hill continues to talk about "fake fans," this time to reporter

Have you tweeted smack talk to George Hill lately? He criticizes "bandwagon people" and "so-called fans" after game.

George Hill: "I don’t think you should be disrespectful just because we’re losing a basketball game.”

Fine, Mr. Hill, if someone's cussing you out, I understand if you don't want them following you. I, however, tweeted to him: "Fans don't know what to say to you, Spurs. You really letting everyone down," and I was blocked. Explain the disrespect there.

Bottom line, George Hill needs to stop talking. Really losing respect for him. As long as he plays like today, though, I guess I don't care.

Your post count is growing at a ridiculous rate. I guess when you've lived most of your life, what better thing to do than troll on a Spurs forum because your laker brethren don't give two shits about your opinion. :rollin

Georgie with a fluke game

[SnakeBoy]

Thank you to all the fake fans for pissing off Hill. I like him better when he's mad so keep up the good work fake fans.

[TE]

If calling out fake fans is what gets Hill motivated then so be it...Anything to get him playing like the end of last year, really.

You shoulda never lost 6 in-a-row. I warned ya. Warned ya twice.

Now you're stuck with me.

ha, ha.

George is a vagina. Good game, though.

This would be a good re-tweet.

He needs to stop talking and the damn twittering all the time. Dejuan Blair comes off like a childish idiot on twitter most of the time.

No professional athlete with any kind of sense should be on Twitter in the first place.

George Hill screwed up the Rockets game, but won the game tonight. Such happens over 82 games. Hats off to him today. Good thing for us that Nash was out.

George Hill screwed up the Rockets game, but won the game tonight. .

If easy for it to grow at that rate when he treats every thread on ST like it's the "raise your post count" thread in the Troll forum. All he does is repost the same thing 20 times in every thread. Just stop paying attention to him. He's not even a good troll...just an annoyance is all. That's why he's still grey after 13K+ posts.

That's more than most NBA players can say.

I disagree. Its a good way to build marketing and develop good PR. Lots of athletes have awesome twitter accounts and do a lot of cool things on them (a LOT raise money for charity).

George had a point, but by now he should just get over it.

[SenorSpur]

Perhaps someone should tell him that if he could ever consistently manufacture a performance like today - both home and on the road - he'd be less likely to get criticized.

Again, since he's got such sensitive, thin skin, my recommendation for him is to stay off Twitter.

Again, I agree with him in he shouldn't stand for random people cussing him out, but judging from my tweet to him that got me blocked, the guy just doesn't want to hear anything negative.

George Hill: "I don’t think you should be disrespectful just because we’re losing a basketball game.”



Agree.

[Budkin]

A number of you have become turncoats & backstabbers.

You're getting what you deserve.

Hypocrisy. You guys pounce on any one of your players when they are fucking up. If you need us to dig up threads from when the Lakers were struggling we can.

[itzsoweezee]

He's right. No need to be obnoxious to the players. Popovich, on the other hand . . .

He's just frustrated. I don't see why you can't understand that. They lost 6 in a row.

He's a early 20s kid who has had a shitty 2 weeks.

Maybe you guys should cut him some slack?

[Holden_Caulfield]

thats how hes losing your respect? lol. wow. ok.

I'm sure he could play better if he'd have a bigger role but right now we have too many weapons.This year we have Neal and Manu is playing more minutes.

The problem isn't Hill.The problem is that his ofensive role is smaller than last year and the team was working so we didn't need more from Hill.


Now when we aren't playing so well he had 3 games of 20+ points in the last 5 if I'm not wrong so he's stepping up.

[Vic Petro]

I fail to see how telling a guy "you are letting everyone down" helps the situation. I wouldn't want to hear nonsense like that either.

Disrespect begets disrespect. Don't cry about it. I like the fact that when Hill has something to say, he's going to say it, and if someone puts a finger in his face, he's going to put one in theirs.

[ChuckD]

Just new terminology: fake fan = fairweather fan. They're the ones that panic and criticize when things are getting tough. They are there when things are good, but have no real faith in their team

[ALVAREZ6]

He needs to stop talking and the damn twittering all the time. Dejuan Blair comes off like a childish idiot on twitter most of the time.

Well, of course we don't know them personally (the players), but he likely is. His play on the court also shows signs of stupidity and poor decision making. CROFL today at that stupid ass outlet pass..went right to a PHX player, who the hell tries to make that pass.. :wtf

[Mugen]

if he keeps playing aggressively like the way he did today, then he can tweet dumb ass things and take dick pics all goddamn day....

[DesignatedT]

Dejuan is only 21 years old :lmao hating on a 21 year old.

There's lots of ways to do that. Twitter has no monopoly.


George had a point, but by now he should just get over it.

If he doesn't understand that he's probably only going to get more of it now, he needs to get off.

This.

[zocool16]

thats how hes losing your respect? lol. wow. ok.

Yeah. I don't question his work ethic and I don't know him personally. That he doesn't have the mental toughness to handle a negative comment that isn't disrespecting is just weak.

Sorry but the guy chose to be in touch with the public and it's not going to be all sweet talk. Super weak that he re-tweets stuff like "Oh I got my George Hill cup at McDonald's," but that he blocks someone for merely saying the team is letting the fans down.

[024]

i'm beginning to think hill reads spurstalk.

[ducks]

he is paid to act like a pro
I hope he gets traded to a team with a lossing record for a better player then him

spurs front office gets hold of what he is doing would not be shocked to see him on another team


if I acted like that to customers of my boss I would get fired

[benefactor]

Again George...it's the internets. Keep things in perspective.

[Cessation]

lol george hill getting butturt over the internets

[Spurminator]

Hell if being pissed at fake fans motivates him to play like tonight, fuck it... Stay on Twitter, George.

[ManuBalboa]

George Hill is the reason the Spurs beat the Mavs last year in the playoffs. I couldn't care less if he is averaging 0 ppg in the reg. season. He proved himself last year.

[GSH]

It may not be smart to call people out on Twitter, but what he said is dead on. He was fearless on the court from the day he show up here, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising that he's fearless off of it, too.

Buncha damn crybabies, getting upset about it. I think some of you have that Fantasy Island image that you're going to run into one of the players in HEB (or on Twitter), impress them with your basketball knowledge and wit, and become close personal friends. Now you're mad at Hill because he's ruined that special feeling. Oh well... maybe you can still become shower-buddies with George Strait or Tommy Lee Jones.

[ffadicted]

:cry george hill blocked me :cry

[NRHector]

someone needs to tweet to Jefferson and Bonner

[NRHector]

Maximum Sports is talking about the Hill's Tweet

[peacemaker885]

George can say or do whatever he wants. For those people who love to dish it but can't take any, GTFO. Its a two way street.

[jimo2305]

lol @ ppl thinking they own Hill.. players have bad games from time to time.. doesn't mean they're supposed to sit down and shut up after being attacked on twitter..

g.hill blocks the negativity and i would too cuz i dont wanna hear that shit.. it's not like some fan out there's gonna open his eyes to new horizons.. the players themselves know what's going on.. im sure they get veterans and coaches to remind them all about that.. it's not as if we're a team headed for the draft lottery or jostling for the 8th seed.. stop being spoiled and cheer for your damn team

[DeadlyDynasty]

mentally weak

[Capt Bringdown]

Hill's doing a PJ on Spurs fans. Fake fans are a simulator crew. Next he's gonna hang an asterisk on your season tickets.

[ducks]

yes he is mentally week pop has to call him is favorite player

[howbouthemspurs]

George is right .. some of you are really bad fans. A true fan will stick with their team no matter how bad or good they are doing. I knew the Spurs were going to go through some kind of skid during the season (they always do) but it always makes them a whole lot better!

[bluebellmaniac]

Point 1: Hill's tweets are not up to the Spurs' character of ignoring such from fans. But such is technology that now players interact directly with fans. Hill needs someone from the Spurs FO or his Agent to help manage his tweets. Gotta ignore the negative and stay positive.

Point 2: Point 1 aside, I am appalled at how quickly so many members of SpursTalk turned on their own team. This is a team and coach that has brought us 4 Championships! What other small market NBA team can say that? Not in recent times, that's for sure. Stay positive and stay on the fan wagon. Gotta learn what a fan is I guess. That shouldn't have to be taught. Wow, I hated visiting this board because of the negativity on our own team. I can go to the Dallas or Laker board if I want that. I don't need to read posts from "fans" that tear down our own team. Quite disturbing.

[EricB]

George hill is very good people. But as usual spurs fan wants to shit on him.


David Robinson would've killed to have a George Hill as opposed to Negele Knight and Sleepy Floyd.

[5in10]

You basically were pouring salt in the wound. You're just a fan, imagine how the players themselves feel, I think the disappointment you felt is a fraction to what he was feeling. He owes you nothing.

[Spurminator]

If you're so let down by a basketball team that you feel obligated to "tweet" your displeasure to one of its players, I think you need to take stock of your life. Hill shouldn't be responding or bothering with this shit, but that doesn't make it any less pathetic on your end.

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

i told him on twitter that alot of spurs fans are super frustrated with pops rotations and are not bscking out on the team(maybe some ) i also told him you watch how many ppl are there tomorrow after 6straight......tell me would L.a even be able to give tix away if it were flipped ??? i tweeted him about 3 times and also said we have defense in tiago but bonners in there, and fans are frustrated at how many minutes the guy is getting despite horrific sequence.. he didnt talk smack all nght after i told him that i was expecting something but nothing...looks like i gotta go regulate on lil george be right back lol...jk

well said, but i cant lie it means alot that hes close enought to share his emotions (this is him mad? im good with that) do you know what kind of thugs we could have on our team ..let him vent everyones different but i see your point too

[GSH]

Don't be this guy:

Awww poor, Georgie. I should be like "it'll be OK, I still love you, go spurs go." Then, I'd get re-tweeted. Get out of town. My point is he is mentally weak if he put himself on a social network and then he can't handle a single negative comment, and I didn't say he owes me anything.

Also, my point is that he thinks Spurs fans who weren't pleased with the team's six-game losing streak are fake fans. Most of us will be Spurs fans for life. Will he be a Spur for life? Deep inside, fans will keep being fans no matter how bad the team does, but he can't expect fans to be happy with crap like that.

[smeagol]

Some fans are fucking stupid. And that stupidity rises to incredible levels when their team is in a losing streak.

Fucking morons!

[kobyz]

George Hill must, but must to stop with this, stop dealing with this crap, stop playing himself a hero, he only need to focus on basketball, and just dealing with important things!!!!

Seems to have lit a fire under him.

Does RJ have a Twitter account??

They should follow Kobe's lead. But what do you expect from a guy that takes pictures of himself then leaks them on the internet Kim Kardashian style. The fag wants to be recognized.
Indeed. That's almost as bad as acting like a badass then being outed as a 28yr old dork who posts religiously on a Naruto forum.

[bus driver]

does hill play for the lakers now?
someone should tell hill that the PC term is tshirt fan. :wakeup
