Bosh done turned into a jump shooting, allergic to rebounding big....But that's still my guy. Glad to see some have come around on him. (no pun)

Y'all was killing Bosh a few years ago. Smh
 
Just got home to watch my
Blazers. Best thing about national games is not having to listen to our god awful announcers. (Bird man hand rub)
 
 
Hibbert deserves to be an All-Star, you guys are gonna have to deal with it.
why?
Because the impact he makes defensively can't be overstated, he's the best defensive player in the league and is on his way to winning DPOY this year. Indy's D is light years ahead of the rest of the league, over 4 pts/100 poss better than the 2nd best team which is an incredible margin. They have some great perimeter defenders too but their scheme is built around Big Roy being there to protect the rim. Opponents shoot 41% at the rim when he's in the game, the best mark in the league. When he steps on the court their team D goes from very good/great (99 pts allowed/100 poss) to historically stingy (94.8 pts allowed/100), one of the top 4 defenses of the past 25 years. Hibbert is the anchor for this.

If you're talking about style of play and not wanting to watch him get up and down the court in a setting like the ASG then I understand, but based on merit he deserves it. Look past the 12 & 8, when you factor in both sides of the floor there aren't more than a handful of players in the East who've been better than him this year.
