Mike Bibby dives into his unforgettable playoff battles against Kobe and Shaq’s Lakers, recalling how awe-inspiring those matchups were early in his career—and admits he still believes they might’ve had a shot under different circumstances. He heaps praise on Shaq as the greatest big man ever and Kobe as top two, vividly remembering the surreal vibe of movie stars cheering against them. Bibby also highlights the vital role assistant coaches like Dennis Johnson played, calling DJ a mentor who kept him grounded during tough times. On today’s game, he names Luka Doncic as the premier point guard, lauding his all-around impact. He offers support for former teammate Doug Christie’s coaching efforts with the Kings, acknowledging their struggles but praising Christie’s heart and dedication amid rebuilding. And in a fun stat twist, Bibby shares that Nikola Jokic just passed him on the all-time assists list—while also revealing he was thrilled not to be drafted by the Clippers and even told the Vancouver team outright he didn’t want to play there.
