Agreed.
I think its a sweet and classy gesture too. I also think it's a little creepy. Just my opinion.
My real point was that I don't think that Ploto is the only one who has that opinion -- so there's no reason for people to attack her in this thread.
Agreed.
She'll be very disappointed.
Greg Popovich won't give George Hill more than 2 minutes of dancing time
Until the elimination dance off. But by then, it'll be too late.
Hill is going to shut her down on the dance floor with his hustling defense.....
Her weak ass defense will fold like a house of cards and then it'll be George Hill for the Slam Dunk and the win!
Seriously she can't be some dog. She's gotta be hot.
I wonder how many Prom invitations Kobe Bryant got this year.
Okay, we're all thinking the same thing...no way on Earth I'm letting my daughter go to the prom with that creep.
So why is he the darling of the NBA?
It should be guys like George Hill who are the darlings of the NBA, and we should not have alleged rapists and serial tyrants like Bryant shoved down our throats.
Great player + major market + championships
Funny how different cultures can be.. is a 5-year age difference is that big a thing?
I'm afraid that is the only thing his mother would fear.
I wonder if Roger Mason or Jacque Vaughn will cut in..
Cauz even some men like Sasha love him.
I wonder how the school would respond if this was just any 23 year old man who wanted to attend the prom. At my child's school, any prom date who is not a current student of that school must be approved by the Dean of Students in advance.
I said first off in my post that it was a nice gesture but I still find it a little misguided that parents do these types of things simply because someone is a celebrity.
People are wierd sometimes in America. If Hill was 25 and she was 20, no one would be saying anything. For some reason, anything before 20 in America is taboo even though the law recognizes someone as an adult at the age of 18.
For the record, no I never dated anyone that young except when I myself was in Highschool.
She could definately do worse than going to a prom with an NBA player at the age of 18. I just find it funny how some people find it creepy and yet they probably know someone who is a teenager and already has kids and dont even bat an eye at that anymore.
that's cool!
Cool for George and cool for her. She'll get instant popularity and he'll get young poon.
Really? you would not let your daughter go with a professional Spurs basketball player like Hill?? If it was a ordinary 23 year old, ok, i would not too, but hill??!
That was pretty cool of Hill.
I have to disagree.People are wierd sometimes in America. If Hill was 25 and she was 20, no one would be saying anything. For some reason, anything before 20 in America is taboo even though the law recognizes someone as an adult at the age of 18.

I do believe it was a nice gesture...by the way. I believe George is doing it in the right spirit and good supervision.
However, there is a major difference between a 17 or 18 year old whose still in high school and a 23 year old grown man. Maturity, ways of the world, and life experience are huge in that age range.
As someone's whose wife is expecting our first girl in August....I would not let my daughter at 17 or 18 (whose is still in high school) go to her prom with a 23 year old man. Period.
And to use the arguement that teenagers are having babies and no one doesn't care anymore...is not true. Also, most of the teenage girls having babies are with teenage boys....not grown men. That's not a parallel argument.
Americans are not weird...to feel that situation isn't right.
I agree with you Ploto.
Celebrity or not...he is a grown man and she is still a girl in high school. And there is a big difference between the two.
Honestly, does anyone think this will turn into a Kobe story? Its a once in lifetime chance for girl, i dont think the mother has anything to fear.
I heard Kobe called Hill to give him some tips.
Damn, I want to see how the girl looks like.
I can't see it...
