Hm... Well.... he is Pop's "favorite" player.
so is your mom
Also check TMZ.com
Spurs are trying to get the website to take down Hill's pictures. This isn't good.
It's naked photos and dirty texts.Quote:

This is really starting to suck.
My opinion of George Hill just fell a bit.
Wow, if this picks up more publicity/with it picking up publicity with that TMZ thing..do the Spurs cut their losses and dump Hill to avoid a hit to their image?
that's awful :(
This would be an idiotic move. Greg Oden had nudes and the Blazers aren't talking about dumping him.Quote:

That's what I thought. Embarrassing story, but OLD story.Quote:

Yes, but they were taken down, probably after the Spurs' lawyers threatened the website. It seems to me that George took naked pictures, sent them to his at the time girlfriend, he left the girlfriend, girlfriend got angry, and sent his naked pictures to media sites.Quote:

so whats the DL, is he odenesque in stature ?
That's what I thought too, and apparently the bitch he sent them to is a groupie in the Dallas area or something like that who messes around with all the rookies. It's kind of strange that the Spurs would make a big deal out of it now, these pics have been out there for awhile.Quote:

And if Pop buried Hill last year when it first broke and was just photos of a headless torso . . . now that the Spurs lawyer is getting more headaches over messages and full shots we may have to go on full Jacque Vaughn Alert defcon 5. Be on the lookout for a non-playmaking, non-shooting worn out guard being picked up for the 15th spot.
:depressed
wtf.... i thought this was a joke
this has not been a good night
I was going to Google George Hill and Google suggested "George Hill scandal". The first site that showed up in the results:Quote:

Big fuckin deal, what's done is done. They need to worry about playing ball and winning games.
:lol that sucks for him. I was just looking at this website this week and thinking how disgusting they are. They ruin people's lives. Such websites should be closed.
Any dumbass that takes naked photos of himself then sends them out to anybody deserves what he gets. That said, Hill can redeem himself to the Spurs organization and to the fans by making a public apology, playing well and making some immediate changes in his personal life.
Hardly anybody in San Antonio knows about the photos except for underground hardcore Spurs fans. That said, George should get endorsement deals with extenze:lol Him and Oden.

People can go ahead and act like a girlfriend never sent you nude pics, or you never snapped a pic of yourself for her...but if you never did, it's cuz you never had anything to brag about. ODELAY!!!!
This is more of an indictment on us than it is on George Hill.

Spurs seek to get nude player's pics off Web
By Bob Stewart
Express-News
TMZ.com is reporting the San Antonio Spurs are seeking to have nude photos of player George Hill taken down off a Web site.
The photos allegedly show Hill's private parts and were taken with a cell phone.

San Antonio Spurs fans "not so sophisticated" says web's attorney in George Hill nude picture battle
Jack Dennis
In a response to a San Antonio Spurs attorney who formally demanded a website “immediately and permanently remove” photographs that depict player George Hill “in various states of undress,” the opposing attorney from Tempe, Arizona responded negatively.
“I realize that NBA fans in the San Antonio area may not be so sophisticated, particularly if any of them have opted to support Mr. Hill and the Spurs rather than the undeniably superior Dallas Mavericks,” responded attorney David Gingras, representing Thedirty.com in a February 5, 2010 letter to San Antonio attorney Eric Barbosa.
“Since you have not cited any authority for this premise, I assume you could not find any,” wrote Gingras, responding with “trademark law does not apply to criticism of celebrities making fools of themselves.”
“That’s not surprising since as Paris Hilton, Tiger Woods, or Britney Spears could explain to you, this argument is totally without merit,” replied Gingras. “Strangely, many people seem to share this mistaken belief that the Lanham Act prevents all uses of a trademark without the holder’s permission.”
In his February 4, 2010 letter to “Mr. Karamian,” Barbosa, represented that the “Spurs are the exclusive agent and proprietor for the Spurs’ trademark, goodwill, business reputation and intellectual property rights associated with their trademark.”
“Mr. Hill’s status as a Spurs player and the display of a photograph of Mr. Hill in a Spurs’ uniform are being used to generate interest in the thedirtys.com’s website and revenue for thedirty.com,” wrote Barbosa, of Bracewell & Giulliani, the renowned law office on South St. Mary’s Street in San Antonio.
Gingras reply included the assertion that “common law misappropriation does not apply” by example: “If you take a person’s name or image and use it on a commercial product (think: Kobe Bryant-brand condoms), then you are required to obtain the consent of the person before you use their fame to advertise and promote the product.”
“But just like the trademark claims, misappropriation claims are narrowly construed in deference to the First Amendment,” Gingras continued.
“As I understand it, your claim appears to be based on the fact that the recipient of Mr. Hill’s ‘sext’ messages took a photo of her (or his?) phone to show portions of the messages,” wrote Gingras. “Because presumably Mr. Hill knew the person he was sending these messages to, they were never ‘intercepted’ nor were they received without consent.”
Gingras said “there is no basis for any claim under the eavesdropping statue.”
If the Spurs “feel that Mr. Hill’s conduct is incompatible with its public image, those concerns should be directed at Mr. Hill, not Mr. Richie (Nik Richie, founder),” said Gingras. “Censoring newsworthy material from the public’s view does not somehow change the fact that this conduct occurred.”
WHOA THATS A BIG HEART :downspin::downspin::downspin:
Woohoo !
lol another envious mav fan this lawyer is.
The last time Hill's IUPUI made an appearance, the Spurs started shopping him around the league. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.
Mav fan lawyer who lives near the Suns? How many loser points can you accumulate in one life?

Hill was a small time player back when the pictures first came out so it was brushed underneath the rug. But now that Hill's in the spotlight as Pop's chosen one; I think the story might break onto some national sites. Barkley would have a field day with George "Mountain" jokes if he got wind of the story :lol

The only thing this "scandal" has provided is fingering material for all the teenage girls in San Antonio who are Spurs fans. This will cause a minor outrage from the white collar Spur fan community for sure. Nobody knows or cares who Hill is outside of San Antonio. Has there ever been a sex scandal involving any of the Silver Dancers?? Rumor has it that Rodman used to sleep with them when he was with the Spurs, and Stephen Jackson one time had a threesome. Imagine if Dejuan Blair made a sex tape?? instead of ripping arm sockets, he's going to be ripping their legs apart.Quote:

Maybe now more people will understand what I mean when I call George Hill the Mountain Man
So is using the nickname "Cubits" a double-entendre now?
Private Hill
The Spurs and San Antonio need to grow up. Chris Cooley actually posted his own nude photos and it caused a whole three seconds worth of commotion in Redskinland.
Taking pictures like that is so corny, these guys are still living like they're fucking 16..

Spurs G Hill apologizes for nude photos
San Antonio Spurs guard George Hill is apologizing for nude pictures of himself that were recently posted online.
In a statement issued by the team Tuesday, Hill said: “A year ago I made a mistake and take full responsibility for my actions. I have matured and learned from this episode.”
Hill apologized to his girlfriend, family, the Spurs and fans.
Hill, the Spurs’ first-round draft pick in June 2008, is the first player from Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis to make it to the NBA.
Last month, Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden apologized for nude photos of himself that surfaced on the Internet.
People are taking this to heart way too much..
In other news... "TheDirty.com has reported that attempts to crash their servers have rapidly increased in frequency... some from as far away as Slovenia..."
Instead of having their lawyers send off letters, why don't the Spurs have George Hill take some personal responsibility, blame his youth, apologize, and move on.
Edit-- looks like they finally did.
who the fuck cares
I appreciate George Hill apologizing to me for taking private photos of himself that were posted by a website I have never been to, and never would have known about if not for the media reporting on said website and photos.
Our long national fucking nightmare is over.
i think i should go register nbaplayersgonewild.com or nbanudes.com
Something tells me those two address will have a lot of hits if this disturbing trend continues :lol
What will be next? Dirk posing nude on an exercise bike?!
leave George alone hes only done what every 14 yearold boy has done with there phone at some point lol
I think the bike would be on top.Quote:

LOS ANGELES – Spurs guard George Hill has issued an apology for a set of nude and sexually explicit photographs of him that have surfaced on the Internet.
The photos, taken sometime last year, recently appeared on the Web site thedirty.com.
“A year ago, I made a mistake and take full responsibility for my actions,” Hill, 23, said in a statement through the Spurs on Tuesday. “I have matured and learned from this episode. I would like to apologize to my girlfriend, my family, all of our great fans and the Spurs organization.”
Meanwhile, the Spurs have dispatched lawyers in attempts to have Hill's photos removed from the site.
Citing trademark infringement and claiming the photos were “disseminated illegally and without permission,” the law firm Bracewell & Giuliani – which represents the Spurs – has sent a cease-and-desist letter to thedirty.com.
The legal missive, first obtained by the celebrity gossip site TMZ.com, demands that thedirty.com “immediately and permanently remove the photographs and all references to the Spurs.”
So far, the Web site has denied the team's request. In his reply, David Gringas, the attorney representing thedirty.com and its founder, Nik Richie, called the Spurs' claims “totally without merit.”
“Trademark law does not apply to criticism of celebrities making fools of themselves,” Gringas wrote.
Hill is the second NBA player in recent weeks to apologize for naked photos. Portland's Greg Oden issued a similar mea culpa when pictures of him in the buff emerged two weeks ago.
I am a parent of an 11 and 13 year old and we used this incident to discuss the idiocy of sexting. Once those photos go out, you can't get them back. Hill is young and it was a stupid thing to do, but he still has my support.
sup with all these fags?
I dunno if this Gingras fool is right in the shit he's written in his letter.
He seems to be saying that thedirty.com's post of his pic gives the impression that George is endorsing the use of his likeness (dick pic).
The argument the Spurs organization is making is that the web posting gives the image that the Spurs are endorsing George's dick pic. Seems to be a different argument.
Now we know why Hill went 2-8 and scored 5 points the game after he scored 22.
Those damn pictures may have cost the Spurs the pivotal game of the year. :lol
This could be the thing that lifts the Spurs up.
Or lifts RJ up anyway.Quote:

YES it was, a LONG time ago. Did some think this is new or just hear about it? It is a distraction now and it can't get worse? It was a year ago when this came up, it just so happens someone did not take the pics down and they are trying to get them down now.Quote:

Did that ruin him? It seems something as little as this gets more attention than a gun or a rape charge.Quote:
