Roy Hibbert keeps on making history as the Pacers struggle through the NBA playoffs. Let’s cite some facts.
Roy Hibbert continues to make NBA playoffs history
Never before has a 7-foot All-Star been this awful in the playoffs.
Pat Lovell-USA TODAY Sports
Among All-Star 7-footers who made the playoffs, Roy Hibbert has the
- lowest minutes per game (21.4, beating 41-year-old Kareem)
- lowest points per game (5.7, beating 2013 Tyson Chandler)
- lowest rebounds per game (3.3, beating 41-year-old Kareem)
- second lowest field goal percentage (.356, just better than 2001 Vlade Divac)
- lowest PER (2.8, much worse than 1989 Kevin Duckworth)
Even once you adjust for minutes, it’s pretty bleak for Roy.
Things are going to change now, though.
Roy Hibbert: "I’m going to change some things up for the second game. I’m going to look within myself and go out there and figure it out."

Good luck, Roybert.
