What does he squat?
More importantly what does he dead lift.

If he were to make the team, who doesn't get in? By most accounts we only have 1 slot available.
We're talking 15th man, though folks seem to think Leslie doesn't have game.
But would they let go of Leslie or Tyler to squeeze in more players at the end of the bench?
that's not a deadlift hibbert is doing,
but let's assume for a second that it is: hibbert weighs 280 lbs and this 'deadlift' is 540 lbs, or 1.92 x bodyweight
when i hit my 1 rep max of 340 lbs i did at a body weight of 220, or 1.55 x bodyweight,
now, why hibbert is not doing a deadlift:
first, the plates aren't on the ground, they're raised,
second, on every other rep after the first one, he bounces the bar off the metal; infraction: a DEADlift is so called because the weight you are picking up is DEAD, from the floor, it's not moving; if you bounce, you're not doing a deadlift.
third, he's using wraps? weak.
this is a deadlift:
i'm tired of these fugazy lifts we keep seeing from pro players,
can't an nba team afford to hire one or two proper strength coaches?
That's good to know. Hibbert is tough enough as it is
