“I'm an only child and grew up in a bad neighborhood. My parents weren'...” — Roy Hibbert Quote

“I'm an only child and grew up in a bad neighborhood. My parents weren't well-off, but they would save up to get me video games. Games were something I did because I couldn't really go outside where bad things were going on.”

“First year in the league, I tried to block everything. And I'd foul out. I averaged the most fouls per minute.”

“Being a big guy, I've got to shore up the paint a lot more. It's my job.”

“Indiana wanted to go in a different direction, wanted to go younger, and the Lakers wanted me, so I said, who wouldn't want to be in L.A? That was a no-brainer.”

“I don't know how I look when I'm on the court to tell you the truth, I'm just focused.”

“I expect to play at an All-Star defensive level, and everything else will come.”

“There are many bad things in this world of ours, but the use of the word 'monetize' has to rank high among them. Also, 'incentivize.' Actually, all the '-ize' words, like 'contextualize' and 'utilize' and 'prioritize.' And - this is almost too horrible to type - 'juniorize.'”

“Yeah, it's nice when people recognize you and come to say hello. Or some good things, or bad things. Like, 'You gotta do a better job on the post!' 'OK, yeah I will do a better job.'”

“Stopping bad things is a significant public service.”

“I saw a lot of bad things happen by people I know and to people I know. There were a lot of different gangs around and sometimes you found yourself in conflict. I found myself attracting negative things because I was in a negative environment, I was pre-determining this stuff before it happened.”

“If people behave bad to you or they did some bad things to you, be kind and don't answer in the same way. And in general, help people without any benefits and without expecting anything back.”
