Mike Bibby, who played 14 seasons in the NBA and retired in 2012 with the New York Knicks, took to the Internet on Tuesday and made a plea to the Sacramento Kings."I'm trying to get back in there and try to get around and stay around," said Bibby, who averaged 14.7 points and 5.5 assists. "I'm trying to get my number retired in Sacramento if they see this.
Bibby embraced the Sacramento fans despite playing for a host of other teams, including the Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards and Miami Heat. He felt an attachment when he was with the Kings. He was mostly known for helping the Kings challenge the Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant Los Angeles Lakers in the early 2000s.
They met three straight times in the Western Conference playoffs from 2000-02, with the Kings losing every series. "They were probably the best fans that I ever played in front of," Bibby said. "It was just so easy to play there,. The fans made me feel like I played there 20 years."Scott Salomon joined FanNation on Sports Illustrated in April 2024 covering breaking news and analysis for the Miami Dolphins channel.
