As a young child, George Jesse Hill, Jr. looked up to basketball stars like Michael Jordan while dreaming of one day playing in the NBA. His dream became reality after his first-round selection by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2008 NBA draft. Currently a point guard for his hometown Indiana Pacers, Hill frequently makes time to visit with IPS students, telling them they too, can be as successfully if they set goals for themselves – including doing their best in school. He has the distinction of being the fifth all-time leading scorer at IUPUI.
