Mike Bibby Career

College career

Bibby, a freshman at Arizona University working under coach Lute Olson, led the Wildcats to the NCAA Championship in 1997, scoring 19 points in the overtime, 84-79 NCAA Championship Game triumph over the University of Kentucky and finishing third in the 1998 Wooden Award voting. Since being named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year after posting averages of 13.5 ppg, 5.2 apg, and 3.2 rpg, he was selected to the 97 All-Final Four Team. Bibby and his father are one of four father-son teams to win an NCAA basketball championship.

After averaging 17.2 ppg, 5.7 apg, and 3.0 rpg (.735). He appeared in all 69 games during his Wildcat career and was named First-Team All-America during his sophomore season.

Following his sophomore season, Bibby entered the 1998 NBA Draft and was selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies with the second overall pick.

NBA career

Bibby's first season with the Grizzlies earned NBA All-Rookie honors, despite the fact that a labor dispute interrupted his season. During the 99-00 season and 15.9 points per game, as well as what would be a career-best 8.4 assists per game during the 00-01 season, he increased those numbers in his next two seasons with the team, averaging 14.5 points per game and 15.9 points per game, as well as what would be a career-best 8.4 assists per game. Bibby tied Vancouver's franchise record for robbery in a single game with seven players between January 16, 2000 and April 2, 2000. The Grizzlies were traded to the Sacramento Kings on June 27, 2001, just after the Grizzlies had relocated to Memphis due to a general lack of success in Vancouver, Bibby, and Brent Price.

Bibby made one of the league's best duos with Chris Webber in his first season with Sacramento. The two of them led the Kings to a NBA record of 61-21 and a Pacific division title over their archrivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, who were the two-time NBA Champions at the time. They easily defeated the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks in the first two rounds of the playoffs, putting them up against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. The 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers was one of the most memorable in league history. Bibby's success during the series, perhaps most memorably his Game 5 game champion, earned him a reputation as a consumable performer, and as a reward, he was given a 7-year, $80.5 million contract.

Bibby was marred by injuries, appearing in only 55 games, but the Kings won the second seed in the West and a second-consecutive division crown in 2002. They met the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks in the first two rounds of the second consecutive playoffs, but the Mavericks lost in seven games to the Mavericks. In game 2 against Dallas, Chris Webber suffered a season-ending injury, but the Kings nonetheless extended the game sequence to seven games.

Bibby had some of his best performances of his career in 2003-2004, scoring 1,506 points (18.4 per game) and assisting the Kings in the playoffs. In the first round of a tense Game 5, Bibby helped lift the Kings over the Dallas Mavericks in the first round. For the second year in a row, the Minnesota Timberwolves will fall in the second round for the second year in a row, this time to the Minnesota Timberwolves 4–3.

Sacramento will fall in the first round of the playoffs in both years in the next two seasons. Bibby played in all 82 games and averaged 21.1 points per game during the 2005–06 season. They will lose in the first round of the playoffs to the defending champion Spurs 4–2.

On November 20, 2014, Bibby was named a guest of honor by the Sacramento Kings as he sat on the court side to watch the game against the Chicago Bulls. As part of the team honoring its heroes, the pair, as well as former teammate Chris Webber, were welcomed to the audience and watched video clips.

The Atlanta Hawks acquired Bibby in exchange for Shelden Williams, Anthony Johnson, Tyronel Lue, Lorenzen Wright, Lorenzen Wright, and a 2008 second-round draft pick (which was used to select Sean Singletary).

Bibby was 14.1 points and 6.6 assists per game while playing in an unfamiliar environment, leading the Hawks to their first playoff appearance in eight years, despite the player's injuries and joining a 22-28 team. Despite being the eighth seed in the first round and likely to be swept out of the first round, Bibby helped the Hawks bring an exciting seven-game series against the Boston Celtics, who went on to win the NBA Championship.

Bibby averaged 15 points, 5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game last season for the Hawks, their first playoff series since 1999 against the Miami Heat. The Hawks lost in the conference semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bibby was also selected as a participant in the Three Point Shooting Competition.

Bibby and the Hawks agreed to a three-year contract worth about $18 million on July 7, 2009. In the same offseason, the Hawks acquired Jamal Crawford and drafted Jeff Teague. Despite the fact that Bibby will remain the Hawks starting point guard, he was not expected to be a top scorer like he had in years past. Bibby was praised for his leadership and unselfishness, which helped Atlanta win their second straight playoff appearances.

In exchange for Kirk Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong, Atlanta traded Bibby to the Washington Wizards, as well as Jordan Crawford, Maurice Evans, and a first-round pick in the 2011 draft. Bibby decided to a contract buyout after playing two games for Washington on February 28, 2011. He gave up his entire $6.2 million salary in the hopes of joining a playoff team, such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, or Miami Heat, all of whom expressed an interest in Bibby.

Since he cleared waivers, the Miami Heat signed Bibby on March 2, 2011. He was the Heat's starting point guard and appeared in all 20 playoff games, en route to his first NBA Finals appearance. The Heat were defeated 4 games to 2 in a match against the Dallas Mavericks. Following the season, Miami elected to re-sign younger Mario Chalmers and draft Norris Cole after re-signing Bibby.

Following the NBA lockout, Bibby signed a one-year deal with the New York Knicks, bringing his career full circle to the team that drafted Henry. Bibby saw limited playing time before Lin's season-ending injury as back up Jeremy Lin during the "Linsanity" phenomenon. Baron Davis and his team served as starting point guards in the remainder of the season and in New York's first round playoff series against Miami.

After New York signed Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd, his deal came to an end and he was considered unlikely to return to the team.

Coaching career

Michael Jr. was coached by Bibby on Team Bibby of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). In 2013, he returned to Shadow Mountain High School as an assistant basketball coach. Jerry Connor, his former high school coach who had also returned this year, was working with him. Michael Jr. was the starting point guard for the Matadors' varsity team, which also included two other teammates from Bibby's AAU squad. Conner retained the head coach, but Bibby was the team's de facto leader. Conner left to teach another college after Shadow Mountain won the state championship that year, leaving Bibby to lead the team as an assistant coach. Bibby did not have the qualifications for the head coach position at the time.

In February 2019, the Paradise Valley Unified School District announced that Bibby was under scrutiny by Phoenix police for allegedly sexually assaulting a student at Shadow Mountain High, where Bibby had since become head coach. In February 2017, the teacher accused Bibby of making sexually explicit comments to her, groped her, and rubbed his genitals against her. He was suspended as head coach of the Shadow Mountain High basketball team as a result of the charges. The police said in April that they did not find probable reason for filing charges against Bibby.

Bibby was recruited by Hillcrest Prep in Phoenix in October 2019, and he served them for ten games before both teams mutually parted ways.
