When Mike Bibby was four years old, his father, Henry Bibby, divorced his wife. After Bibby won the NCAA championship, he issued a public declaration: "My father has long ceased to be a part of my life." In 2002, Henry, the father, called his son and wished him a Happy Father's Day. Bibi, who is no longer a hairy boy, is now a father, he forgives his father in an instant, and the two are reconciled.
Bibi graduated from high school with a name that shook the United States, and his father, who was the head of the University of Southern California, extended an olive branch to his son. But Bibby hated his father and refused his invitation instead to join Arizona, which is in the same division as Southern California, and told his roommate not to say he was in the room if his father called.
In his first season at the University of Arizona (1997), Bibby led the team to the final NCAA finals. In the final, he scored 19 points and led the team to a famous 84-79 victory over the university of Kentucky, a traditional basketball school.
Bibby and his father are the fourth pair in history to have won an NCAA title. The other three fathers and sons are Marquis and Corris Johnson, Scott and Sean May, and Derek and Nolan Smith. In addition, Henry Bibby also won the NBA championship, and Bibby passed the championship in 2011, otherwise it would have created a miracle in basketball history.
In 2012, Bibby signed with the New York Knicks and played briefly there. It is worth mentioning that the New York Knicks are also the place where Bibby's father started his NBA career. In 1973, Henry Bibby, a sophomore rookie, won the championship with the Knicks.
Bibby's family has excellent athletic genes, his uncle Jim Bibby is mlb's little famous starting bowler; cousin Robbie Finley is a striker for MLS Toronto FC; and another cousin, Sean McDonald, is an outside receiver for the NFL Pittsburgh Steelers. In several major sports leagues in North America, the NHL has no Bibi family.
In the NBA, there is also a person who is related to Bibi , bench bandit Eddie House, who has been a teammate with Bibby twice. One was in the Kings (2004-05) and the other was in the Heat (2010-11).
Unlike his father, Bibby is a very family-loving and good man, never making any scandals or going out to ghosts. Bibby's wife bore him four children, and you can never imagine why Bibby always wears a headband when playing, supposedly to show love to the children.
In 2013, After retiring from the NBA, Bibi returned to his alma mater, Shadow Hill High School, to become a basketball assistant coach, while the team's head coach was Bibi's mentor Jerry Connor in high school. Bibby's son, Michael Bibi Jr., also played for the team at the time, and Bibi Jr. later joined the University of South Florida. In ESPN's 2016 national rankings, Bibby Jr. ranked 34th in the PG position, and the NBA outlook was bleak.
Bibby has also signed up for the IVERSON-hosted BIG3 League, and his current teammates are former NBA dunkers Ricky Davis and Jason Williams, whose team name is Ghost Ballers. In 2001, the Grizzlies traded Bibby for white chocolate with the Kings.
In May, on Bibby's 39th birthday, he received a special gift – a bachelor's degree from UNLV University. Bibby said that he chose the path of professional football at that time, but never forgot his mother's expectations for him - to get a degree. This degree is a Mother's Day gift for mothers.
