i'm not saying he's a bad player by any means. but when people say "oh hibbert is so much better on offense, he's a better player than dwight"...he has trouble scoring and rebounding. he's 7'2 compared to dwights 6'10-6'11. everyone crowned hibbert after he decimated a miami front line of chris bosh/birdman/haslem/joel anthony... :rolleyes
yeah, that's it.

I think they're just saying that he has a more polished offensive skillset. Which he does.
 
Derrick Favors is a beast. While Cousins excels offensively, Favors is his defensive counterpart.

Hibbert is averaging more than 4 blocks a game though. I don't think he's better than Dwight, but he's a valuable member of that team.
hopefully he doesnt think too highly of himself and demand a huge contract but his team is 8-0 so cant really say much

hopefully he never leaves indiana, he looks like paul george's older brother

He already has his huge contract, he's a max player right now.

i think dwight is the better offensive player but hibbers post moves look better since he is taller than almost everyone he matches up with
 
One thing I've never got is dudes who lick their fingers when playing ball. Like Crawford does. Just why?

i don't disagree. but what good are those post moves when you don't translate it into production?

get grip on the ball. nash does it at the FT line

i think its too keep their fingers/hands dry

kobe likes to wipe his hands on his sweaty jersey before freethrows for the same reason

didn't he already get a max deal?

edit: nvm...took too long to reply

yeah, i didnt even know. 

indiana needs this team to work out for them, without all these guys around hibbert he would get exposed. hibbert on a non defensive team could be the rich mans perkins to OKC

sweat/moisture makes the real leather NBA balls a little more grippy.  not slippery like the fake leather balls that we are all used to

this is why you see players lick their fingers and wipe their hands on their sweaty jersey
 
:x  just looked it up, he should be payed around 9-10 a year
If Indiana didnt pay Hibbert he would be in Portland right now. Hibbert doesnt deserve that much but they couldnt let him walk. Without him Indiana would be no where close to where they are now.

With all that shenanigans about Dwight being 10x better than Roy you're just implying how good Dwight is. Hibbert is easily a top 5 Center, even top 3 in the league right now.
