George Hill Interview from Spurs.com

George is a tough customer. You have to choose your words carefully when you ask him a question. He won't let you slide on much of anything. Wonder where he learned that? No wonder he's Pop's favorite.

LD, they have a comment there that is all yours. They want to know if it is Argentine or Argentinian.

Just read the twitter exchange between Wayne and Dwyer. Seriously, I just don’t get why these reporters are being all territorial and shit all of a sudden.

Yeah, I kinda figured out. I’m repulsed by Twitter. Dunno how to use it. Of course, I also hated Facebook. Multiply, I would argue, is the best social netowrking site there is. Now I’m online on fb all day.

I read all those tweets. Shamsports, that sbn guy, ptr and kd. Interesting what Manu would say after those cookies caused quite a stir.

Yes. I’m sitting on pins and needles, waiting for him to post a facebook status like, “Eating some excellent alfajores I was given in Austin. Everybody needs to visit poundingtherock.com/Comer algunos alfajores excelente que me dieron en Austin. Todo el mundo necesita para visitar poundingtherock.com”

I think it would read more like “COMER ALGUNOS ALFAJORES EXCELENTE QUE ME DIERON EN AUSTIN. TODO EL MUNDO NECESITA PARA VISITAR POUNDINGTHEROCK.COM. FANGIO.”

What? I thought I just asked why he had such a strong opinion. I just felt like he blew me off.

How’ve you been DennardC? Long time no see.

And in honor of this wonderfully done interview & wondering blogger, I hereby christen my boy George Hill as “the boy wonder”!

DeJuan Blair is Mr.Snuffleupagus of teh NBA. Freak of nature (elongated arms,ginormous behind), effin unbelievable (rebounding machine), blows you away (for a rook) n cuddly cute.

Wow! Hill has matured so much since last year. He responds with the confidence of a veteran, and always with that Spurs “team first” answer.

Translation to the last question: “Hey ass I mattered last year too.”

You can hear the person asking the question slowing down because he knows he’s running into a brick wall. That’s the bad part about having a question in your head. You start to say it and you realize it’s not good and you try to fix it and it goes to worse. For me, writing on the site, I’m not sensitive about how George might read something. But when you have that same thought and then you are expressing it in words to him, you realize, “oh shit, this is offensive and well, shit, I just have to keep going. I hope he doesn’t punch me.”

I hope Manu doesn’t kick me in the nuts when he finds out I put him in a swimsuit.

I hear he’s scheduled a visit to the Philippines summer of 2010 for that express purpose.

Really? Hey, Davis, take one for the team. And country.
