Mike ‘Chris’ Bibby, the Phoenix streetballer nobody has ever heard of

While filming for Uncle Drew is already underway, PepsiCo might want to look into writing former Arizona Wildcat Mike Bibby in as an extra.
After all, his jump shot remains intact and like Kyrie Irving, he is difficult to identify in public parks.
On Wednesday, Michael Bibby recorded his father, former Arizona star and current Shadow Mountain High School coach Michael Bibby, playing a pickup game of ’21’ against two others at a Phoenix park.
The video shows the older Bibby knock down a three from the wing before zooming in to identify the 14-year pro.
My dad went to my sisters volleyball practice and played two guys in 21, and told them his name was Chris 😂 pic.twitter.com/JUUE9jGF70

Bibby, an instrumental piece of the Wildcats’ 1996-97 championship team, played 14 years in the NBA with six teams before retiring in 2012.
But when he stepped on the court, neither of his opponents realized that the man who called himself “Chris” was a national champion and former top-five draft pick.
