'''Michael Bibby''' (born May 13, 1978) is an American former professional [[basketball]] player and current [[head coach]] at [[Sacramento State Hornets men's basketball|California State University, Sacramento]]. He played for 14 seasons in the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA). A point guard, Bibby played [[college basketball]] for the [[Arizona Wildcats men's basketball|Arizona Wildcats]], with whom he won the [[1997 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1997 NCAA Championship]]. He was drafted second overall by the [[Vancouver Grizzlies]] in the [[1998 NBA draft]] and was named to the [[NBA All-Rookie First Team]] in his first season with the Grizzlies. He also played for the [[Sacramento Kings]], [[Atlanta Hawks]], [[Washington Wizards]], [[Miami Heat]], and [[New York Knicks]].

Bibby and his father are one of four father-son duos to each win an NCAA basketball championship.{{#tag:ref|The others are [[Marques Johnson|Marques]] and [[Kris Johnson (basketball)|Kris Johnson]], [[Scott May|Scott]] and [[Sean May]], and [[Derek Smith (basketball)|Derek]] and [[Nolan Smith]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler and a Crystal Ball Oliver Purnell Pursuing Greener Pastures Roy Halladay Deal Good for Baseball? |date=April 6, 2010 |publisher=ESPN |url=https://www.espn.com/blog/sportscenter/post/_/id/42305/9a-etnolan-smith-and-kyle-singler-and-a-crystal-balloliver-purnell-pursuing-greener-pasturesroy-halladay-deal-good-for-baseball |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140123052930/http://espn.go.com/blog/sportscenter/post/_/id/42305/9a-etnolan-smith-and-kyle-singler-and-a-crystal-balloliver-purnell-pursuing-greener-pasturesroy-halladay-deal-good-for-baseball |archive-date=January 23, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>|group=lower-alpha}}

His sophomore year was just as impressive, as he was named Pac-10 Player of the Year (1997–98), after averaging 17.2 ppg, 5.7 apg, and 3.0 rpg (.464 FG%, .387 3FG%, .755 FT%). He started all 69 games during his Wildcat career and earned First-Team All-America honors after his sophomore campaign.

Following his sophomore season, Bibby entered the 1998 NBA Draft and was seen as the favorite to be selected by the [[Los Angeles Clippers]] with the first overall pick, but was instead selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies with the second overall pick.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sandoval |first=Greg |date=1998-06-11 |title=Clippers Get Look at Bibby |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-jun-11-sp-58816-story.html |access-date=2024-06-12 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref>

==NBA career==
===Vancouver Grizzlies (1998–2001)===
In his rookie season, Bibby averaged 13.2 points, 6.5 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game, earning NBA All-Rookie honors during the season which was abbreviated by a labor dispute.<ref name="hoopshype" /> He improved those numbers in his next two seasons with the team, averaging 14.5 points per game during the [[1999–2000 Vancouver Grizzlies season|1999–2000 season]] and 15.9 points per game as well as what would be a career-best 8.4 assists per game during the [[2000–01 Vancouver Grizzlies season|2000–01 season]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Mike Bibby Per Game Stats |url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bibbymi01.html |access-date=June 27, 2007}}</ref> but the Grizzlies continued to struggle.

In his first season with Sacramento, Bibby formed one of the league's best duos alongside [[Chris Webber]]. The two of them guided the Kings to an NBA best-record at 61–21 and a Pacific division title over their archrivals the [[2001–02 Los Angeles Lakers season|Los Angeles Lakers]], who at the time were the two-time defending NBA Champions. In the first two rounds of the playoffs, they easily defeated the [[2001–02 Utah Jazz season|Utah Jazz]] and [[2001–02 Dallas Mavericks season|Dallas Mavericks]], setting up a [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]] [[NBA Playoffs|Finals]] match-up against the Lakers.<ref>{{cite news |title=Horry's buzzer-beater stuns Kings |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/2002/playoffs/news/2002/05/26/kings_lakers_ap/ |date=May 26, 2002 |access-date=June 27, 2007 |work=CNN |archive-date=March 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140314060304/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/2002/playoffs/news/2002/05/26/kings_lakers_ap/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The 2002 Western Conference Finals between the [[Sacramento Kings]] and Los Angeles Lakers was one of the most memorable in league history.{{citation needed|date=June 2021}} Bibby's performance during the series, perhaps most memorably his Game 5 game-winner,<ref>{{cite news |title=Season on the Brink |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/2002/playoffs/news/2002/05/28/lakers_kings_ap/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020608000420/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/2002/playoffs/news/2002/05/28/lakers_kings_ap/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 8, 2002 |date=May 28, 2002 |access-date=June 27, 2007 | work=CNN}}</ref> earned him a reputation as a clutch performer, and as a reward, he was granted a 7-year, $80.5 million contract.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kings sign Bibby to $80 million contract |url=http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/5612089 |date=August 16, 2002 |access-date=June 27, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080119145912/http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/5612089 |archive-date=January 19, 2008 }}</ref>

During the [[2002–03 NBA season|2002–03 season]], Bibby was hampered by injuries, playing in only 55 games, but still averaged a respectable 15.9 points per game with the Kings going 59–23 and securing second seed in the West, as well as a second-consecutive division title.<ref>{{cite web |title=NBA 2002–2003 |url=http://www.basket-stats.info/nba/2002-2003/teams/west/sacramento.htm |access-date=July 27, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070626080037/http://www.basket-stats.info/nba/2002-2003/teams/west/sacramento.htm |archive-date=June 26, 2007 }}</ref> They faced the [[2002–03 Utah Jazz season|Utah Jazz]] and [[2002–03 Dallas Mavericks season|Dallas Mavericks]] in the first two rounds respectively for the second consecutive playoffs, but after defeating the Jazz, 4–1, lost to the Mavericks in seven games. The Kings had lost Chris Webber to season-ending injury in game 2 against Dallas, but still forced the series to seven games.

For the [[2003–04 NBA season|2003–04 season]], Bibby posted some of the best numbers of his career, scoring 1,506 points (18.4 per game) and helping the Kings reach [[2004 NBA Playoffs|the playoffs]].<ref>{{cite web |title=#10: Mike Bibby PG |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/player/splits/_/id/3245/sun-yue |access-date=July 27, 2007}}</ref>  Bibby helped to lift the Kings over the [[2003–04 Dallas Mavericks season|Dallas Mavericks]] in the first round, scoring a career playoff-best 36 points in the clinching Game 5.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bibby hits for 36, Nowitzki misses at the buzzer |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=240429023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170818090334/http://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=240429023 |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 18, 2017 |date=April 29, 2004 |access-date=July 27, 2007}}</ref> They would go on to lose in the second round for the second consecutive year, this time to the [[2003–04 Minnesota Timberwolves season|Minnesota Timberwolves]] 4–3.

The next two seasons would see Sacramento taking yet another step backwards, losing in the opening round of the playoffs in both years. During the [[2005–06 Sacramento Kings season|2005–06 season]], Bibby started all 82 games, and averaged a career-high 21.1 points per game. They would lose in the first round of the playoffs to the defending-champion Spurs 4–2.

Bibby was made a guest of honor by the Sacramento Kings, as he sat court side to watch the game against the Chicago Bulls on November 20, 2014. Along with former teammate [[Chris Webber]], the pair were introduced to the crowd along with video clips as part of the team honoring its legends.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/kings/news/kings-honor-bibby-webber|title=Kings to Honor Bibby and Webber Thursday|work=Sacramento Kings|access-date=September 10, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/games/20141120/CHISAC/gameinfo.html|title=Bulls at Kings|work=NBA.com|access-date=September 10, 2015}}</ref>

===Atlanta Hawks (2008–2011)===
[[File:Mike Bibby2.jpg|thumb|upright|Bibby with the Hawks]]
On February 16, 2008, the [[2007–08 Atlanta Hawks season|Atlanta Hawks]] acquired Bibby in exchange for [[Shelden Williams]], [[Anthony Johnson (basketball)|Anthony Johnson]], [[Tyronn Lue]], [[Lorenzen Wright]] and a [[2008 NBA draft|2008 second-round draft pick]] (which was used to select [[Sean Singletary]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&page=BibbyTrade-080216|title=King-size surprise: Hawks, not LeBron's Cavs, get Bibby|date=February 16, 2008|publisher=ESPN|access-date=September 10, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Atlanta Hawks Acquire Mike Bibby From Kings |date=February 16, 2008 |work=NBA.com |url=http://www.nba.com/hawks/news/Hawks_Acquire_Bibby_021608.html |access-date=March 2, 2011}}</ref>

Battling injuries and joining a Hawks team that was 22–28, Bibby put up 14.1 points and 6.6 assists per game while working in an unfamiliar offense to lead the Hawks to their first playoff berth in eight years. Despite being the eighth seed and expected to be swept out of the first round, Bibby helped the Hawks force an improbable seven-game series against the [[2007–08 Boston Celtics season|Boston Celtics]], who went on to win the NBA Championship.

[[2008–09 Atlanta Hawks season|The next season]], Bibby averaged 15 points, 5 assists and 1.2 steals per game to help the Hawks win their first playoff series since 1999, against the [[2008–09 Miami Heat season|Miami Heat]]. The Hawks lost in the conference semifinals against the [[2008–09 Cleveland Cavaliers season|Cleveland Cavaliers]]. Bibby was also selected as a participant for the [[2009 NBA All-Star Game#Three-Point Shootout|Three Point Shooting Competition]].

On July 7, 2009, Bibby and the Hawks agreed to a three-year deal worth about $18 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newsok.com/article/3383605|title=Hawks reach agreement to re-sign Mike Bibby|date=July 7, 2009}}</ref> In the same offseason, the Hawks traded for [[Jamal Crawford]] and drafted [[Jeff Teague]]. Though Bibby would remain the Hawks starting point guard, he was not relied on to be a top scorer, as he had in years past. Bibby was credited for his leadership and unselfishness that helped Atlanta to consecutive playoff appearances.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.walterfootball.com/nba2009bibby.php|title=Missing Resource|website=www.walterfootball.com}}</ref>
