I do feel Mike..he's done nothing but carry this team on his back when the glory years were over! He's never complained or whined (Peja, Chris..) and all he is doing now is making it clear he wants to finish his career in SAC! He is being real, and basically letting us know his feeling got hurt by the boos? I am a Mike Bibby fan and will continue to be. There is no way he is passed his prime...he's had a bad year, and is putting in work to get thru it. I really don't think there is much more you can ask of a player. Assists? Are we watching the same team? Pass to who beside K-Mart? Artest is like the little kid who thinks he doesn't get enough shots so jacks up 3's and off balance jumpers whenever he feels somebody else might be looking too good. Brad Miller is the most overrated player Sac has ever had...SOFT, lazy and HE pouts and whines like nobody else! Kenny Thomas? Sharif is needs the ball in certain post up situations, etc, etc...and quite comparing him to Nash, Kidd, and other guards in the league. When he has the same type personel and those guys we can talk.
Had to vent..these anti-Mike Bibby posts really irritate me. I am a KINGS fan first, but have felt really disappointed in some of my fellow Kings fans concerning Mike. Nobody here knows what Mike would do, if he would leave just for the $$ or not. Based on what I've read about him he is an extremely loyal guy...I just know I would love for him to retire a KING.
1. Assists - PGs find a way to create opportunities for your teammate and getting them at the position where they have a higher % of converting, setting up the offense etc. Maybe the system isnt PG heavy but still that is something the PGs do. If you say that the other players are not good enough to make those shots that Bibby is creating for them then maybe earlier when his assists were high he had better teammates like Webb, Vlade, Peja to make those tough shots as well. It goes both ways
2. Hmmm, so you are content with what Bibby is giving you, no defense and no offense either. How long will you accept that putting in effort thing, most fans feel that he is not even putting in the effort and thats the problem. It is very easy to play one end of the floor and score, if that itself is becoming a problem then there is booing to be heard
3. Sharif needs the ball in certain areas to be effective - BINGO, the PG is supposed to get him the ball there
4. Artest - Thats a known thing, you take his defense and his off balance jumper, for all you know he seems to be shooting better than Bibby this year. 43.7% FG Vs 38.7 FG% from bibby, 33.6 3 PT% vs 30.1 from Bibby. So this year his off balance jumper seems to be doing better than the great shots that bibby is taking. We are not talking about one game here and there we are talking about the whole season and that FG% stinks.
5. Bibby last year shot 43% FG and Artest shot 38%, but shot 46% in Indiana before the trade. You have to give him leeway to understand the system, but the point is that Artest seems to be playing much better than Bibby even on offense and there is no debate on the defensive side. Though his defense has been deteriorating, still any number you compare with 0 is always going to be significant.
6. Think about the salary of the people you are making comparisons with , Bibby 12.5 mil, Brad 9.6, Ron 7.1, Kenny 6.7 and Sharif 5.4. Bibby is supposed to bring in atleast 2.5 times the value that SAR brings to the table.
7. Why not compare him to Nash or Kidd, doesnt he make the same kind of money, more than nash and less than kidd. What kind of talent do the nets have, washed up vince carter, injured RJ, ancient cliff.
He took the team twice to the finals and people cant even remember anyone else on that team that went to the finals other than RJ.
8. You rightly said that you are a kings fan first, then why wouldnt you boo Bibby. If its a business you can fire him for not performing, since you cant do that here you can only boo.
) This place was a lovefest for Peja, even when he said he wanted out and he was never the big game player Mike is. I keep reading "quit whining, be lucky you get paid all that money" Well...like I said, who whines and loafs more than Miller? And I also feel it is a fans right to tell it like it is and not always turn a blind eye to reality. Mikes defense IS lacking, he IS having a bad shooting year, BUT he has given us so much more and I feel he deserves more respect from Kings fans. A lot of us have just thrown him under the bus after actually HALF a bad season...a lot of which he's been injured. Like I said, it's my venting, if I can't do it here, where?
