Bobby Jackson on losing bet to Vlade Divac: I had to walk into Trump Plaza singing Who Let The Dogs Out with no clothes on
Bobby Jackson on playing In-Between card game when he was playing with the Sacramento Kings: The biggest number I lost was 60,000 dollars. And I had to walk into the Trump Plaza singing Who Let the Dogs Out because I didn't want to pay it with no clothes on. I had my boxers and my tank top on and I lost it to f*cking Vlade Divac.
Bobby Jackson: Jason Williams was extremely talented and he was a risk taker with his flashy passes and his ability to get the crowd on their feet. Like I ain't never seen one person electrify the crowd like he did. Now because he was that risk taker, it kind of drove it drove Rick kind of crazy. Then Mike Bibby comes in. You got this point guard that knows how to settle everybody down and he knows how to get the ball to the right guys in the right spots and he's not flashing. J-Will was a crowd pleaser and Mike was a game dominator.
Mike Bibby on Lakers-Kings series in 2002: It was taken from us
Mike Bibby on Lakers-Kings series in 2002: We like they were getting our champagne ready in the locker room to celebrate winning the Western Conference and you know we kind of sh*t the bed. I still, the Robert Horry shot… I still can't watch it… Like I watch the highlights and stuff up until that… I can't watch it. I haven't watched it. I just won't watch it. Just like cuz I know it was taken from us. That was our championship and we went to we went to game seven. It just shows you that we are a better team. If you watch some of those highlights, you could see like Shaq's face, Kobe's face, rest in peace, they're like it's over. I mean, you can see in their faces just staring at the ground and but game seven, we go to game seven, kind of sh*t the bed in game seven, two for 13 from three, under 50% from the free throw line and we go to overtime. We end up losing in overtime and they interview me after the game. Me and Kobe are getting interviewed after the game. I don't think I've seen them ever interview a losing player. And they're interviewing me and Kobe. The guy I mean he starts asking me questions first. I'm pissed. I just I don't even remember what he asked me.
Shaquille O'Neal will become GM of Sacramento State

Brad Miller on guarding Shaquille O’Neal: ‘He swung at me in my third year. Mike Bibby: I don't think he was trying to hit you, his arm was this long and his fist is this big, ain't no way. Brad Miller: He just barely touched my hair, like the slightest turning and... So that's how me and Shaq relationship started but no, it got to be like, I'd say like the third year, when I was playing with the Pacers, that's when I was like ‘I’m ready to start pick and popping’, like ‘if I'm having to guard his ass here, I'm going to take his ass out out here’. I got to a point luckily, I felt confident where I could hold him up, his little elbow spin offensive foul… I just had to pull his ass out and then he was done guarding me he was like so tired.’

Before Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks and riding a seven-game win streak, Christie was asked if any of his former teammates from his playing days have reached out to him about his then-7-1 record as interim head coach. "Mike [Bibby] popped in the other day when we were playing [the] Miami [Heat] in the morning when I was working," Christie said. "[Chris Webber] has texted me numerous times. Bobby [Jackson] has texted me numerous times. Peja [Stojakovic] and Vlade [Divac], things that I can't say, but they definitely have texted me. It's nothing but love for all those guys because without them, I'm not sitting here. "I think we all understand what I'm here to do, and I think they do. And that's probably why they text me. Because they understand it's not about me, it's more about our team first of all, but also our city and our organization, to try to do what we were so close to doing and we didn't accomplish it."
Cuttino Mobley: I started watching Mike Bibby, and man, I saw Bib looking like an action figure. I thought, "I want to be part of the Avengers too." (...) I never saw a light-skinned GI Joe, but I did see different colors of X-Men and Avengers, so I thought, "I’m going to be like that right there."

Former Knicks point guard Mike Bibby says he was robbed of several thousand dollars by a teammate during the 2011-12 season, the last of his 14-year career. In an appearance on KnicksFanTV, Bibby said he kept money in his backpack next to his Bible so he could “gamble on the plane” and that he noticed a stack of bills was missing while he was on a road trip in Chicago. He said $4,200 was stolen at that time, but that it happened “four or five times.”
Bibby said hotel security was able to tell via video which player used a key to get into the room and take the money, but he wouldn’t divulge which player it was. He said he and security then entered the player’s room together and Bibby saw a ripped-up envelope where the money used to be. “It was ripped up in the bathroom, so we already know it was him,” Bibby said.
Pressed on who the player was, Bibby was asked if it was Billy Walker. “It was not Bill Walker,” Bibby said. “He’s a good guy. He’s a good guy.” That leaves everyone to guess who else it might have been.
Mike Bibby shared his thoughts on whether anyone in today’s has a set of skills that mirrored the former Michigan Wolverine. Bibby was complimentary of Webber. “It’s hard to compare anybody to Chris Webber,” he said. “He was different. You know what I mean? He was a passive big man. He could score. He was an alpha dog on the team. I don’t think you can compare him. You can’t compare him to anybody.”
