Roy Hibbert

On one hand, this is fucking heartbreaking.
Roy Hibbert of the Indiana Pacers was on his way to meet a dying twelve-year-old boy and grant his final wish but did not make it in time. Lee Eddins wanted to meet his NBA hero but passed away an hour before Hibbert's arrival.
On the other hand, I can't stop thinking, what? Some kid out there can pick an NBA hero, and it's Roy Hibbert? Really? Who? Then I started in on some "Hibbert had one fan in the world and fuck it, that one died" joke, but of course that's terrible. I guess I'll settle on some weird Charlie Brown/Joe Shlabotnik connection.

Either way, it sucks, and fuck it I'm such a softie that Roy Hibbert might become MY favorite NBA player these days.
