    NBA Star Roy Hibbert Visits BuzzFeed To Apply For An Internship

    He was tall and nice.

    Once upon a time, NBA star Roy Hibbert tweeted his intentions to seek an internship at BuzzFeed.

    And today, he dropped by the office to see what he thought of the place...

    And to discuss what his role might be.

    He was all sweaty because meeting BuzzFeed President and Chief Operating Officer Jon Steinberg made him super nervous. JON STEINBERG!!!

    Many of us got photos with Roy Hibbert, because Roy Hibbert is nice.

    Of course, not everyone was brave enough to approach him, for he is big and they are small. Puny, even.

    But Roy Hibbert is a gentle man, and he did not smash our menfolk.

    Nor our womenfolk.

    He saw some old friends...

    And made some new ones.

    Soon, though, it was BUSINESS TIME: Two titans of industry, matching negotiating wits in a battle to the death.

    Having agreed to the princely sum of $10 an hour, Roy Hibbert inexplicably signed his contract on the wall.

    And was promptly berated by a furious unicorn named Ben.

    But he was a part of the BuzzFeed team now!

    And the people rejoiced.
