The Kings used to have a point guard who could make plays.

Jason Williams gave them flashy plays. Fancy plays. Highlight reel plays for the gang on

ESPN's SportsCenter.

Behind-the-back or through-the-

legs passes. Over-the-shoulder shots. Crossover dribbles that caused whiplash.

They were the kind of plays that could take your breath away. And also your best chances.

What the Kings needed was a point guard with less sizzle in the pan and more steak on the bone. Less fire and more ice.

What they got was Mike Bibby. Cooler than the inside of an igloo.
