Is it just weight lifting or do you think there is some substance that Hibbert used to get jacked off of?
Even if he's eligible for team USA, who can he learn from? Dwight? You can't teach athletic ability and from a skills perspective hibbert is probably already better.
First thing, I thought. He looks like a super villan from Batman or something. No human can be that huge
Well the point I'm making is I just find it weird the Spurs would be nice enough to train a person from another team and letting him use equipment, having their trainers assist in workouts etc. I can understand TD and Hibber working out together if they're friends, but from the pics it looks like the Spurs are training normally and Hibbert just tagged along like he was part of the team. It's like he spent his time working on his post moves, if he was gonna lift weights why can't he do that with the Pacers staff and train with PG and the Pacers strength and conditioning staff instead?
Kobe, CP3 and such. I think the main value you can get is not skills, it's practice habits, attitude. Just spending a good month with some of the hardest working people in the business can be valuable.
I think that Roy wasn't invited to, or didn't attend the Chicago pre-draft gathering in 2008. Thus I believe there wasn't an official height measurement taken for him at all. Since high school I think he's been listed as 7'2 and for him it might be a rare "low side" estimate. He sure looks a good 5 inches taller than (the probably 6'10-barefoot) Tim Duncan, even figuring in camera angles and exaggerated posture.
Just cause he got upper body mass still doesn't mean anything. I abused bodybuilders in the paint because of my core strength. Remember, a slow athlete is a weak athlete.
Apparently Duncan and Hibbert are friends, it's not the first time they've worked out together. http://www.balloverall.com/content/roy-hibbert-sent-tim-duncan-scouting-reports-miami-heat
When I was 15 I saw Shaw benchin 30 lb dumbbells on each arm. I distinctly remember thinking that I was as strong, if not stronger, than Shaq... I was 15 then. I'm hoping most on this thread are 15 and not grown men who actually think they are stronger than Roy Hibbert...
