June 2001 Kansas City Kings Wiretap

Mike Bibby, the silent type

Aug 20, 2001 11:20 AM

The Sacramento Bee's Scott Howard-Cooper writes an interesting profile of the Kings' new point guard.

Among the anecdotes, he talks about Bibby's lack of trash talking: ""I've never heard him trash talk," Jason Kidd says during a break in a pick-up game. Bibby walks by just then. Kidd talks louder, to make sure his words are heard. "I don't even think he knows how to trash talk," Kidd says, smiling. "I used to do it in high school," Bibby throws back. "But my mom told me to leave it alone."

It's a true story, the time he was a sophomore or junior and Virginia Bibby was in the stands and saw him mouthing something to an opponent and got on Mike afterward.
