George Hill is spending the NBA hiatus on his 850-acre ranch with zebras, kangaroos and wildebeest

IT'S STILL DARK when George Hill drives up the dirt road.

It is 5:30 a.m., and Hill parks his Dodge pickup, trudges over to a small hut perched 12 feet above the ground, climbs the ladder and settles in to watch the sunrise.

Wearing Wrangler jeans and a hoodie emblazoned with the Milwaukee Bucks logo, Hill whips out his phone to play Sudoku as he waits.

Between games, he scans the land for the silhouettes of his animals -- kangaroos, wildebeests, donkeys, elk, antelope and six zebras, among others.

"I am mainly on African safari stuff," he says.
