Remember when Roy Hibbert and his mastery of the principle of verticality made him one of the most valuable defenders in the league?
Well, the game has moved on.
Hibbert excels at being a literal stumbling block in the lane, but cherry-picking on defense isn't going to work against the Golden State Warriors' 3-point shooters.
That moment when Hibbert was all alone in the paint? That's a metaphor for how the game has evolved since 2013, leaving plodders like Hibbert in the dust.
