A couple weeks ago, you probably heard that 7 footer Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers showed up naked on the Internet, looking a lot like a horse. I won't go into detail, but let's just say I felt bad about myself for a while. But anyway, now George Hill of the Spurs did the same thing, and the organization is trying to get the pics removed.
TMZ reports:
The Spurs' lawyer fired off a letter to TheDirty.com last week, demanding the website "immediately and permanently" remove the photos showing guard George Hill's privates ... pics the genius snapped of himself using his cell phone. The Spurs want the pics down because they shine a negative light on the team's image.
But a lawyer for TheDirty sent a letter right back, saying the site has every right to post photos of "celebrities making fools of themselves" -- and taking them down won't change the fact that Hill is a moron.
TheDirty's lawyer also says the Spurs' attempt to have the pics removed will only cause a "Streisand Effect" -- meaning the matter will become even more publicized due to their attempt to quash it.
And they were right because even people like me are blogging about now. Before today, not only did I not know about the nude pics, but I didn't even know an NBA player named George Hill even existed. I only know Larry Bird; he plays for the Thunder.
