On December 14th, Antetokounmpo shocked the NBA league by scoring a career-high 64 points, but a strange story happened not long after the birth of this exaggerated data, in order to compete for the game ball, Brother Alphabet and the Pacers General had a long entanglement with the coach, even if he got the ball back, but Brother Alphabet said that he was not sure whether what he got was a real game ball, because it looked a little new.
There were also some inconsistencies in the interview with Pacers coach Carlisle, who said the Pacers took a ball, and Carlisle said that the Pacers got the ball to give him to the team's rookie Oscar Hibwe.
As an undrafted pick, Hibwe signed a two-way contract with the Pacers this summer, but Hebwe is not an ordinary person, and the 24-year-old interior player had a glorious time in American college.
Born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1999, Hebwe came to the United States as a teenager to pursue his basketball dreams.
2022 was one of the best years for Hibwe, who won the John Wooden Award for America's best player, and the same year he also won the Naismith Award for Player of the Year, the Associated Press Player of the Year Award, the NABC Player of the Year Award, the Abdul-Jabbar Award for Center of the Year, and the SEC Division Player of the Year Award.
However, the net height of about 2.03 meters put a question mark on Hibwe's NBA draft prospects, and it was estimated that in the second round, Sibwe chose to study for another year of college, but a year later, after averaging 16.5 points, 13.7 rebounds, 1.6 and 1.0 blocks per game, Hibwe was defeated.
Interestingly, in 2023, Hibwe conducted a trial for the Lakers, and everyone found that the faces of Sibwe, who had received more exposure, were very similar to Wei Shao, but unfortunately the Lakers failed to choose Sibwe after letting Wei Shao go.
After coming to the Pacers, Hibwe didn't provide immediate power quickly, but in his development league debut, Hibwe exploded with 33 points and 23 rebounds.
Previously, in the midseason tournament final, Hibwe came off the bench to score one point against the Lakers, but this game was not an NBA game. Therefore, in the game against the Bucks, Hibwe finally scored the first point in his NBA career statistics after scoring one point in one of two free throws.
There is really no comparison between Sibwe's 1 point and Brother Alphabet's 64 points, but for Sibwe, who has crossed the ocean to realize his dream, this 1 point is also worth remembering, and it should still be okay to give a game spare ball.
