NBA: Roy Hibbert Has A Niiiice Way of Motivating His Teammates To Win!

I gotta say this will pretty much motivate anyone, not that these guys need it though.  Check out what Roy Hibbert is doing to help give his Pacers teammates a little extra motivation to win.

Per the Indy Star: 

“As if his Indiana Pacers needed extra motivation, Roy Hibbert realized during a late time out Tuesday night that the struggling Charlotte Bobcats might not score 80 points. His mouthed opened and out came a challenge. Keep the Bobcats in the 70s, Hibbert instructed the five reserve players checked in the game. It’s worth $100 per man. ‘I’m a man of my word,’ he assured them.

In a happy locker room following a 103-76 blowout, the highest-paid Pacer ($13.66 million this season) handed out large bills to three teammates, including one he couldn’t name, Dominic McGuire, who is playing on a 10-day contract. Jeff Pendergraph refused his reward. Ben Hansbrough must wait until Hibbert finds an ATM. ‘He’s a rookie; he gets his last,’ Hibbert said with playful defiance.”
