Tyler Hansbrough one of the most physical players in the NBA

Posted Mar 30, 2013
There's a reason most of the NBA wants to fight Tyler Hansbrough -- he's one of the most physical players in the game. He's also been a valuable backup to power forward David West. And when West missed six consecutive games recently with a back injury, Hansbrough stepped into the starting lineup to average 14.8 points and 10.3 rebounds while helping Indiana to a 5-1 record.
