What Happened to Roy Hibbert’s NBA Career? From All Star to Out of NBA

[@Vibestr]

Hibbert was a victim of small ball evolution. Even small ball is starting to fade in favor of hybrid basketball where a big guy can dribble up the court like Simmons and Giannis.

[@aaronestes3905]

Hibbert's replacement in Indiana, Myles Turner, is another example.

[@PoochieCollins]

That doesn't explain Hibbert's rebounding and shooting efficiency dropping off.

[@scottyhaines4226]

I wouldn't call it hybrid. It's positionless now. It's all defined roles instead of positions. The evolution of the game has destroyed his career though. He wasn't quick or agile enough to defend the pick and roll and he got decimated by faster players easily after the verticality law was enforced.

[@mark-one6511]

Guys with center height shooting guard speed and plays pointguard with longass arms is tge trend

[@About36Greekss]

\/ibestr disagree hibbert during his good years was exactly what you want in your center DURING small ball . A center that doesn’t demand the ball on offense sets good screens and plays great defense .

[@yorksfolly1255]

It's crazy to not only see how fast the nba can evolve, but how even all stars can easily become obsolete within a few years. Phenomenal video!

[@CaineLovesCali]

appreciate it 👌

[@panner11]

The general trend for NBA teams to shoot a bunch of threes instead of going to the paint and play "small ball" completely screwed him.

[@whatsgeetchie3760]

[@-rayrice-akasting1431]

he was never that good as the praise he was getting. He made the all star team averaging 12 and 8, in a time were there weren't many dominate big men. He got big exposure because he was causing problems for Miami in the playoffs cuz Miami was the worst rebounding team and the pacers looked like they were a threat to beat the Heat.

[@moonpuppy9919]

OMG those years when the Pacers kept going to the conference finals was so insane while living in Indiana. Every person in Indiana hated and despised the Heat and Heat fans. Beat the Heat was like the most common phrase you heard. Good times

[@MarkelScott100]

What's worse is yall owned them in the season but once playoffs hit it was a different story

[@smoothsavage2870]

This was Chicago's mantra against the Heat and Heat fans at the time too. We knew D Rose wasnt going to be healthy again, so we turned to our IN neighbors and rooted for yall against them.

[@mixumillianmass6986]

Evolution of the game happened. I didn't watch the video yet, but that has to be the answer. It's a new NBA. Floor spacing, freak athletes, and/or the ability to play perimeter and post defense. That is what's needed to be an elite center now.

[@JoeMapes]

I was a big Hibbert fan. He just mentally checked out plain and simple. I'm not 100% sold on the other reasons given in the video to explain the almost overnight change. I was watching those games, his eyes said "I don't want to do this anymore". He retired during a season, it was hard to watch.

[@0mar-777]

So to you he looked like he didn't want or had passion for the game anymore? I'm a Lakers fan but I was not watching the NBA that much when roy was with the Lakers and that is messed up when Kobe slapped hibberts hand unnecessary

[@Basher718]

Fr?

[@PoochieCollins]

Still no explanation of his dramatic drop in ability. Rule changes don't explain why he rebounded and scored less (if anything, it'd help him score more).

[@mrHoppedupford]

Poochie Collins He was to slow on defense and teams would force him to play on the perimeter on the defensive end and he wasn't a good enough scorer to consistently take advantage of smaller players so his minutes started to decrease which lowered his scoring and rebounding.

[@X02Overdose]

Poochie Collins Hibbert had literally no effect on the game outside the paint. All teams had to do was switch him onto perimeter players or just big men that were good at shooting 3s and he would be rendered useless. Small ball fucked him over big time.

[@Uwae158]

I think the mainissue is, like you said, the approach of the game has changed drasticaly. Then the verticality rule. I think you can see the same thing with Lopez at the Lakers, but at an higher level. He is still usefull, can shoot the 3, set screens and score in the post. But he isnt anything near All Star anymore, because the has changed and got faster.

[@derekfoe5950]

That Lebron clip caught me off guard and I literally spit my food out 😂😂😂

People just see his stats but don't know the truth guys been battling injury and he has asthma for tall big guy like him you tell me if you can stay an All-Star caliber player.

[@itsmeforsure5475]

I agree Wes, these guys play at such a high level that the slightest nagging injury can slow them down so they are no longer nba athletes. Sounds like PG13 ah, may have, ah, smashed his GF so that might have dinged his confidence alittle. PG13 seems like a good guy in interviews, but many bloggers are mentioning that as a possibiliity.

[@NuggetsPatriot]

I had no idea about that verticality rule and that the league changed it. I think that was the biggest thing that got him to regress so badly. "Going straight up" was his calling card on defense. It was taken out and he literally looked like trash. And yeah playing in the East overinflated his value as a big men who is more limited than how he was praised.

[@KNByam]

Imagine this guy guarding Porzingus, Towns or the Greek Freak? They would be shooting 3's all day.

That one playoffs Roy had was so bad, never seen anything like it. He was seven foot coming up with maybe a rebound in the whole game. Might as well had some dude in a wheel chair out there.

[@Positive_energy4u]

He was never good. He just had the luxury of playing on a good system oriented team that had great players like Paul George and prime David west . I remember Coach Vogel even said all they asked of hibbert to do was go straight and contest shots on defense because he was so tall. Dude wasn't talented at all and he got exposed when he went to LA

[@panner11]

Pretty sure he got exposed in the series where he could barely manage 2 points and 1 rebound most games. By the time he went to LA, people already knew he wasn't good.

Draymond with GS, KAT with Min, AD with New Orleans, Julius with New Orleans, Krispas with NY, Cousins with GS, Gasol with SAS and so on.
