Roy Hibbert thanks Tim Duncan and the Spurs organization for working out w/him

[TheGreatYacht]

That's right. The greatest PF of all time once again shows that he is a class act by teaching Roy Hibbert a few moves and working out together just like they did last year. Maybe Hibbert can repay the Spurs organization by signing with them in 2015 which is the year that Duncan and Manu will probably retire. The Spurs will have a lot of cap space by then.

Jim Boylen is often the one given credit for helping Roy Hibbert and the Pacers big men develop and improve. Who deserves more of the credit for Hibbert's development? Tim Duncan, Jim Boylen, or Roy Hibbert's desire to get better? I think they all deserve some credit. As a fan, I give most of the credit to Tim Duncan of course.

We won't have cap space you're forgetting about the max contract bonner is set to receive

Didn't Hibbert sign a long-term deal with the Pacers? If not, I hope the Spurs can make an attempt to sign him once he becomes a free agent.

Where does it says that he is thanking Tim Duncan ?

If he's such buds with Duncan, why would he finally come to the spurs, after he retires? Doesn't make much sense...but this is an internet forum.

You know how Robinson is a minority owner and a front office person with the spurs now? Do you have any reason to think that Duncan wouldn't get a similar offer and opportunity? I am pretty sure that Duncan if he retires in 2015... (not sure he will if he is still compe ive, why not get paid a few million a year to put up numbers toward all time leaders as a bench player/coach) will still be a major part of the spurs family.

I just don't see TD taking that route after his career. He could I guess, but I think Tim would want to spend as much time as possible with his kids and just get away from the game.

"Great Big Man Workout Today. No " - Roy Hibbert

Obviously he doesn't mention Tim Duncan directly on that tweet but there are indications that go way back that Roy Hibbert has been working out with Timmy since last year.

Indiana Pacers: Roy Hibbert To Workout With Tim Duncan

Roy Hibbert is coming off a relatively disappointing regular season, but his performance in the 2013 NBA playoffs warranted a lot of applause. Hibbert was a beast defensively and found his groove on the offensive end as well, connecting on the hook shots that had been off almost all year.
Hibbert seems determined to continue providing value to the Indiana Pacers franchise, who signed the big man to a big extension last summer. As such, he will be working out with none other than Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs.

“I usually work out with Tim [Duncan]. I like to keep myself a secret, but then I’ll go off to San Antonio to work out with Tim for a week or two, probably in August. He likes to get started after August.”
(via NBA.com)

Obviously Timmy is as good of a role model as there could ever be for an aspiring young big man, so it’s great to see that Hibbert is willing to work out with the All-Time great and perhaps learn a trick or two.
According to the interview, Hibbert is working out twice a day on week days during the summer, mixing cardio with weight lifting. He has also decided to give up on his MMA training, at least for the time being, as he feels it might have been a contributing reason to his slow start of the season last year.

I don't see Duncan as the business savvy person, drob is..but that's just me. Timmy will go away ..and we will see very little of him, if even at all. Point is, hibbert has had opportunities now to play with Timmy and he hasn't made the move. I think it'd be silly to think he'd bolt for S.A. as soon as td retires?! Doesn't make much sense. Would sure have been sweet to see the two play together. Would pop have taken them both out in game 6, if Roy was with the Spurs?

If he wanted to really thank Tim, he should have beat Miami so we could have our ing fifth trophy.

No ! And I wish we had M Jordan in his prime instead of Danny green. If ifs and buts were candy n nuts .....

[Trill Clinton]

i can respect this. i always laugh when these players talk about all the work they put in their game in the offseason, meanwhile all they're doing is balling in pro-am and celebrity tourneys where the other players are too scared to play defense.

[barakz21]

There was a tweet before that that said he worked out with TD, it's at projectspurs.

edit: sorry, I thought I was replying to your post asking about where he was thanking TD. Still getting used to posting from an ipad lol
