Nope, Hibbert’s sucking all on his own.
That feeling of being kicked when you’re down has never been more relevant to Roy Hibbert‘s life or career. The Georgetown alumni, who was drafted in the first round (17th overall) of the 2008 NBA Draft, has had two consecutive scoreless playoff games, a 46-year old record for NBA All-Stars, and it didn’t come at a very good time. It was the gross lack of productivity from Hibbert that largely contributed to the Pacers needing 7 games to eliminate the 8th-seeded Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs, and Pacers fans and NBA critics alike were all looking to Hibbert to pick it up. It’s common knowledge that without an upward spike in production from him, the Pacers won’t be able to squeak out a series victory over the Washington Wizards, who are playing the best basketball they’ve played in half-a-decade, and are clicking on all cylinders.
Well, to make matters worse, internet rumors began attributing Hibbert’s struggles to the fact that the Pacers’ star, and close friend of Hibbert’s, Paul George, was sleeping with Roy’s fiance.
Vicious, right?
Baller Alert, a popular blog that covers sporting events and the happenings surrounding them, reported that a source revealed George and Hibbert’s fiance’s relationship to them, but Paul George took to his Instagram to quickly quell the rumor, which was quickly gaining traction on the internet.
