You really have been away. Sequ has dumped Tony Parker for Hill as his nominal "best Spur".
Sequ's no Popsucker!!
I have to admit Hill has become one of my favorite players and a HUGE part of this Spurs team.
I wanted Nicolas Batum or Donte Greene, and would still take Batum over Hill, but George is a really solid player.
Just read the OP again...
Would the OP rather have CDR or Mario Chalmers now?![]()
He was being sarcastic. Hes a huge Hill fan.
oh yeah I remember this.
I forgot all about mrspurs, whatever happened to that guy? "mrs spurs" to most of us from what I remember. He was always putting everybody on ignore...
OP is a hill fan, he was imitating sequ, which he stated at the end of his post.
RuffnReady is gonna need some surgery for that ruptured choad he has received.
true, didn't he claim to be one of hill's friends?
fail at some of the people not understanding the sarcasm of the OP. it shows how much people just read the le instead of the post itself.
Hill has been an amazing pickup. He just needs to work on his defense and being confident. He's a great offensive player though.
Chalmers gets limited playing time with the Heat while Hill is becoming a star. When Chalmers did get playing time this year, he didn't do much with it.
Hill looks like a vet out there. Playing his role to a tee and has hit some big shots for this team. If i had to nit-pick , he gets a bit complacent on D even though he's got the tools to be a great defender. We all know thats part of the learning curve.
Just saw this blurb via Yahoo Fantasy Sports; since this is the currently active Hill thread, figured I'd post it here.
"G George Hill had a fine rookie season, but the numbers he's putting up this season, especially since he became a full-time starter on Jan. 18, might have him in line for Most Improved Player consideration. Wednesday marked his 23rd consecutive game as a starter. Of course, now he's playing point guard instead of shooting guard due to Tony Parker's injury. Hill's numbers are off the charts as a starter compared to when he came off the bench. One obvious reason is his minutes have increased to 35.3 a game from 24.6. In the last 22 games as starter, he's averaged 16.2 points compared to 9.5 in the previous 39 games, 35 of which he came off the bench. Out of the 60 players drafted in the 2008 NBA Draft, Hill is posting the third-highest improvement in scoring average from his rookie to his sop re season. Hill has started fewer games than his top five counterparts -- Danilo Gallinari, Brook Lopez, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Donte Greene -- and is the only player to be on a team that currently has a winning record.

Oh, and George Hill has absolutely owned many people on this board, including several in this thread. Great job sticking by your friend, jayc23. .![]()

George Hill is like my brother, Ken Rodriguez from spurs.com interviewed my family on a story paralleling the childhood and life of me and George to the movie blindside. My mother Home schooled George for 2 years in middle school when he was getting into fights and struggling. and he has a room to this day in our family home, he basically lived with my family for a few years. .
I am Jeremiah Chlumsky, mentioned in the article, My family moved into the inner city when I was 6 years old to help inner city youth who were struggling and were in rec centers and community programs, I was struggling in a violent and hostile environment when I was 10, being the only white in a 99% black area trying to fit in and play ball, and George befriended me and we became like brothers.. i posted this link before but its a small ball school magazine posting.http://magazine.iupui.edu/08Summer/george_hill/. Ken Rod, is supposedly going to be releasing one on spurs.com , but I think George's xxx antics overshadowed his community work for the time being.
Thanks for all those that supported George when everyone doubted his ability.. and those that support him in his continued growth as a pro and helping the spurs be successful again.
god bless you and your family. you did a great job of helping george out. if you met george today, you wouldn't think he had this type of lifestyle.
That's awesome! Interesting article too!![]()
Do you still have a close friendship with george?
We talk from time to time through out the year, and see each other during the summer, but both of our lives of late have been exploding in different directions , me building more traditional business success and starting a family, and he becoming a celebrity, but hes the same kid I met 11 years ago, and I spend a bit of time with his mother.. hes taken good care of her in his rise towards s om.
Bump rofl @ mario chalmers
Never forget how pissed I was hearing we drafted this guy when Chalmers was available.
Wow I was in ignorant.
