On Tuesday, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar announced that he would help train Roy Hibbert to become a more dominant player in the league next season.
Two days later, that plan appears to be well underway:

The last tweet shows a clip of Hibbert working on his hook shot with both hands:
It’s not exactly Abdul-Jabbar’s sky hook, but Hibbert was likely working in some easy half-hooks to get a feel for it before he really got to work with his new mentor. Given that he is one of the tallest, biggest and longest centers in the league, Hibbert should be able to dominate in the low post next season for the Indiana Pacers if he can master one of the toughest shots to guard.
