You mentioned taking some time away from the game. What have you been up to over the last two years? Roy Hibbert: I have a 2-year-old son. He was born around the end of my last season so we’ve been doing that. It’s the best. I miss them right now. As for contemplating life after basketball, are you comfortable with moving away from trying to play anymore? Roy Hibbert: Oh, yeah. I have investments. I want to make sure I use my talents the best way I can before five, six years from now people forget who I am. Took some time and then just went to get back into it. Hope to affect some young person’s life. You have to strike while the iron is hot. I finished playing two years ago. I think I put together a good body of work when I did play. I’ve talked to general managers and people, and they see that, and they think I have a lot to bring whether it’s in Summer League or something else.
You’ve mentioned making investments. Any of note you care to share? Roy Hibbert: I didn’t like bouncing around from team to team (late in my career), but playing with the Lakers I had a good rapport with Kobe (Bryant). His VC fund, I invested some money with him. He’s a killer on and off the court. I have some investments that I won’t get into right now, but they’re producing. I make my money work for me.
Shams Charania: The Philadelphia 76ers have hired nine-year NBA center Roy Hibbert — a two-time All-Star with Indiana — to a player development coaching role, league sources tell @The Athletic @Stadium.
Roy Hibbert: Growing up and being hella tall at a young age 6’8 in 8th grade. My favorite players will always be @SHAQ and Tim Duncan. Two of my favorite players. Was a pleasure meeting them as a kid and hella tough playing against them in the @nba. Just my random thought of the day.
Basketball-Reference: Giannis leads the NBA with a DRtg of 95 in the playoffs this year. In this decade, only Dwight, KG, and Roy Hibbert have had a playoff run with a 95 DRtg or better (min. 30 MPG, 10 gm) bkref.com/tiny/8yl6c pic.twitter.com/PzPIILzgBx
