Bibby was the starting point guard on a UCLA Bruins that won three consecutive NCAA championships from 1970-72. In his second year in the NBA, he won a championship with the New York Knicks. He would reach the NBA Finals two more times in his nine-year career (both with the Philadelphia 76ers) but lose both times.

Although he didn’t experience as much team success as his father, Mike Bibby was a much more talented and skilled player. In 1997, the Bibbys became the second father-son duo to win an NCAA championship when Mike helped lead the Arizona Wildcats to victory over the Kentucky Wildcats in the title game his freshman year.

He was the second overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft by the Vancouver Grizzlies and spent his first three seasons there before being traded to the Sacramento Kings. As a member of the Kings, he was an integral part of their run to the Western Conference Finals. The Kings would make the playoffs in five of the six full seasons Bibby played for the franchise.

Late in his career, when he was a shell of himself, Mike Bibby joined the Miami Heat. The Heat would go on to lose to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals that year, in Bibby’s line Finals appearance. The following season he ended his 14-year career, in New York, with the team his father started his career with.
