Sporting News on Roy Hibbert Crediting Timmy for his Success (http://aol.sportingnews.com/nba/story/2012-05-19/roy-hibbert-indiana-pacers-miami-heat-tim-duncan-helping-hibbert?sct=nba_t2_a16)

Nice props from Hibbert.

Roy, now return the favor and eliminate the Heat for us...

The article says Timmy likely texts Hibbert after every playoff game....

If Indiana should meet the Celtics in the East Finals, Timmy should should "suggest" a few knees to Garnett's groin...

Awesome. I love Hibbert's style of play, he's a throwback. God, if he could be a Spur.

I hate to say it, but if he really wants to be like Timmy, he'll stay in Indiana and win with them.

Hmmm.. maybe Tim should consider coaching after retiring 3 years? He'd definitely have the respect of the players.

Coming out of Georgetown, you'd think Roy would want to learn from Ewing...

Oh, wait, Roy wants to win championships in the NBA? Better call Timmy! :)

I've been high on Hibbert since his Georgetown days, and secretly wanted us to trade up to get him in 2008. Several years later, I'm happy that he's taking his game to the next level with the help of Timmy.

It's funny how most young bigs claim to idolize Duncan when they were growing up. Griffin, hibbert, howard, and even love i believe said their favorite players as kids were duncan. No one ever says they looked up to shaq, the other supposed best big in this era.

Given that Shaq's game was only available to him because of his unique god-given talents, it makes sense to emulate TD instead.

Fixed.

And the better he plays in the playoffs, the more his price goes up :hat

Roy looks like an old school center to me. You don't see those now-a-days in the NBA. Would love it if the Spurs made an effort to sign him even if he is restricted it's Roy's choice.

Tim needs to stop texting him how to play and shit, now he might have to guard him In the finals. Lol. From now on before every game text him how awesome it would be to play together next year :toast

Timmy should probably text him to show up. Why he's not absolutely beasting on this Heat team is a complete fucking mystery to me.
