John Thompson III, the former college coach of Roy Hibbert, has praised the Indiana Pacers center as he prepares to take part in tonight's NBA All-Star clash.
Hibbert has shot to prominence in the NBA after making his move to the Pacers as the 17th Draft pick in 2008.
"I'm sure the most of the Pacers would say the same thing: Roy is as good of a teammate as you can have," Thompson told reporters.
"He gives all of himself to whatever organization, team and unit that he's a part of. It was really good to hear about it."
The All-Star clash takes place in the early hours of Monday morning UK time.
