you and South do this thing where ya'll take what i say and add shit to it instead of the actual words that I use
I never said Hibbertt was a HOF or had a hof trajectory, but he was listed as one of the best or better big men at his peak, however short that was.
One bad playoff series and next thing you know, he outta here. The game absolutely passes people by, but not in one season.
All i was saying was that his fall off was crazy to witness and that he still had some value despite the collapse in Indiana.
Roy Hibbert was a serviceable big man who made his bones on jumping straight up to contest shots during a time there was no real big men except Dwight post torn labrum and back issues, Demarcus cousins, and Marc Gasol
You said Roy Hibbert was done dirty and the pacers deserved to not get their pick because of how they handled Roy hibbert
So let’s get into Roy Hibbert to let you know he’s not even worth your sentiment
1. Roy Hibbert during his tenure with the pacers shot 46% as a Center which is horrible. And again this is during a time where there weren’t any so they eliminated the C spot on lists
2. Also his career high was 12.8 ppg
Imagine nic claxton a few years back being a multiple all star (also claxton >>)
3. Nurkic was a better overall player so idk why you scoffed when I brought him up
4. You said he deserved a shot after the pacers
Did he not play on the lakers and hornets after? He did get a shot
He was ass
Before he barely turned 30
5. You mentioning hall of fame and number 1 and 2 options, Roy Hibbert was the 5th option at best on a team in his prime
So I say all of that to say nobody did Hibbert dirty, and the pacers don’t deserve any flack for how they dealt with him
Bringing him up in 2026 is wild and I don’t wanna hear something like this from you again
