As George Hill starts his journey in a new uniform for the Utah Jazz, his journey as a human being is in an upward trend.
Hill was taking a walk with his family around Salt Lake City on Monday night when he noticed a small group of homeless people with not much to their devices but a few blankets, dirty clothes, and unsure of the last meal they had.
The IUPUI alum came back the next day and bought some hot meals from Wendy's, including cheeseburgers, fries, and a few bottled waters to give out to them.
He walked down to Rio Grande and passed out bags of fast food and mingled with them, enjoying some of their stories:
While many athletes do contribute to kids and homeless, we seldom see the person-to-person interaction Hill took the time to give them.
There's something that goes beyond the donation and the act of kindness, the bond of talking with them and trading stories is probably one that will forever stick with them and just as much as the burgers and water they enjoyed.
Needless to say, this act won't be forgotten in the eyes of his new fans in Salt Lake City. A good start to a hopefully great season for the Indiana native.
