MILWAUKEE -- George Hill is demanding to know how this story got told. It's true, he said. He did, in fact, jump into a chilly lake to save Paul George's drowning dog a few years ago.
It was back when George and Hill were teammates on the Indiana Pacers. As both a self-identified "fix it" guy and an animal lover, Hill just had to jump in after the pooch when he saw it struggling to keep its head above water.
"I'm just mad the water was so damn cold," Hill said.
Hill approaches his role on the Milwaukee Bucks much like he did saving the struggling pup: he is ready when called upon and prides himself on his unselfishness.
