Sometime around 10 Thursday morning Charlotte Hornets center Roy Hibbert will walk into Spectrum Center, head straight to the training room, and begin "the regimen."
It takes at least two hours to get his body – and particularly his right knee – ready to practice or play. There are more than 16,000 NBA minutes on this 30-year-old’s body and the past two seasons have not been kind.
"It’s so many other things, you wouldn’t understand," Hibbert said of the regimen. "It’s just exercises you have to do."
