Hibbert was a hero of sorts in Indiana as little as two seasons ago, where his rabid fans filled a section called Area 55 and Roy led the Pacers into the playoffs. In Game 3 of the 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the New York Knicks, Hibbert recorded 24 points and 12 rebounds in a Pacers win.
