Hibbert makes history.

draftexpress. and they go by predraft measurements. and it's my retarded hobby, so i try to look at every possible measurement out there.

1. if you get measured in the morning, you might be 1/2 inch taller compared to getting measured at night. in extreme cases it can be as much as 1 inch.
2. and some dudes have a bad posture even at young age. i have a friend who looks shorter than me. i always think i'm taller. but when he fully stretches he is almost 1/2 inch taller than me. many overweight dudes are like this.
3. and some dudes like kevin love may have napoleon complex, and always try to look taller may even wear a lift.
4. you can sorta cheat your height testing too. for these big guys cheating 1/4 -1/2 inch is piece of cake. stick your chest out, point up, and lift your foot slightly without getting noticed.


maybe hibbert is 'only' gobert's height. gobert is 7ft 1/2, but listed at 7ft 2. and gobert looks like a giant on the court.

Just reading through some old threads I missed and saw this. Many things can affect height, for me it was surgery. When I got home from my mission I stood barefoot next to the doorframe where my mom had measured my growth until I was too tall for her to comfortably mark it (she is very short, like 5'3" or something), and I marked my height at that point. With a tape measure I measured the mark at 6' 2 1/2. After I was done with my cancer treatments and 2 surgeries on my upper back and neck including a 4 vertebra fusion, just for fun we made a new mark at the same doorway. I then measured, again without shoes and at the time about 15 years older, at just about 6' 1/2. Lately my youngest son (17 years old) sprouted well ahead of me and my other son, so we did some measurements. Without shoes he is 6' 3 1/4, and I am just about 1/8" under 6'. Funny how it can and does change for various reasons.
 
damn, you went through a lot.

i once had a herniated disc. my posture was bad, and i lost 1/2 inch for about a year. now i only lost 1/4 inch. there are many famous people who lost height - hulk hogan for example. he is an extreme case where he lost at least 2+ inches of his height over the years.

but generally these prospects are young with no major medical issues. usually their height doesn't change in the course of their career. some actually grow taller. only known cases is probably david robinson. many say melo grew. bron too. i don't really buy it, but it can happen.
 
maybe he will drop 20/10 in game 5. lol

but gotta admit, the game plan was awful. you gotta try to feed him the ball. at least give him 10 shot attempts. and go to him early and often. pacers are good when hibbert looks like a legit all star.
 
But dude literally has no post game. One would figure Bosh would not be able to defend 7'2 centre who is much heavier than him in the post. But Hibbert just does not have it. Heck Valanciunas was giving Heat more fits than Hibbert...
 
The Pacers are a poorly constructed and coached team.

Zero outside shooters, zero PG play, Hibbert is a teddy bear... They have two nice pieces in West and George. But the rest of that team is either garbage or backup material. Lance Stephenson is basically Kirk Snyder. Hibbert is ostertag.

But Snyder was never able to get triple doubles..... I think Lance is a bit better passer;)

You're right.

Lance is a better player. But like Snyder, he's insane. He hurts his team as much as helps it.

I think you'd have to be insane to want to piss off lebron. Dude is an animal.
 
hibbert going home and count his max money. lol. hibbert will go down as the first max cat who had 4 0/0 games in the playoffs.

what's harder having 4 0/0 games or 4 20/20 games?
 
Roy Ostertag got his money and doesn't care how poorly he plays anymore.

Win or lose, paycheck's the same!
