Last night, after the Pacers demolished the Chicago Bulls by double-digits, Roy Hibbert took to Twitter to express his goals and expectations for him this season.
DPoY. Goodnight!

After receiving some hate replies (mostly about how the Pacers haven’t won anything yet), Hibbert explained his previous tweet by going on a quick little rant.
People act like I can't have individual goals. I didn't talk about it in the past. Well now I am. I WANT DPoY. That's gonna help my team win

Best believe @Paul_George24 getting that #MVP trophy this year. No one playing like him.

Hibbert grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked five shots in last night’s win over the Bulls. The Pacers are 5-0 for the first time in their franchise’s history since 1971.
