Farewell MB10

by ridnour8 on Feb 16, 2008 1:36 PM PST

As some of you may or may not have known over the years I have been Pro - Mike Bibby. The make up of the Kings has changed and the strengths he has as a player without the supporting cast around him as before has made his weaknesses on this team a front and center item. Regardless of what MB10 has been the last few years, I am grateful for the contribution he made to Kings climb to success we have had unfortunately it did not include a Championship (Thanks for nothing Robert Horry, Game 7 Refs, the weak tendons in CDubbs knee, etc). But it was still so much better though than the years of Jerry Reynolds, L-Train, Tissy Flip, Mitch for Three, Never Nervous Pervus, Joe (de)Klein, etc Days. I will forever remember, "The Shot" against LA.

Good Luck Mike to you and your family.

Its now official nobody is left from the, "Good Times", now its time make it happen all over again! Heres to the Future. The New Sacramento Kings!(*Note-I had my youtube up before TZ had his up)

Goodbye

I fully realize the Kings need to break the final link between now and the glory years, but I am really gonna miss bibby. In highschool, I attempted to model my game after his (as I was a a slower footed, shorter guard). I spent a great deal of time watching how he roled off of picks, how he would perform a devastating crossover and transition into a jumpshot, how he used the rim to deny shotblockers when going to the basket. If it weren't for him, I would have been watching J-dub and modelling my game after his and likely getting benched after jacking up too many wild transition 3's. Thank you Bibby.

K9: Don't worry if he sniffs your butt; he's just trying to say hello.

Samaki Walker

He had an interesting series. Not popping out to pick up Bibby and his Game 4 desperation three at halftime that shouldn't have counted. I think that's why we have replay.

farewell

Even though this needed to happen, I really liked Mike's game and appreciated everything he did here as well. He was part of the group that brought our team out of obscurity. Thank you, Mike, and good luck.
