The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!

#NBA #MikeBibby #Kings
Happy Mother’s Day! How good was Mike Bibby, and were the 02 Kings the best team to never win a championship? (Talking about core groups who didn’t win, so the 16 Warriors don’t count).
They should have won. Saldy, refs robbed them aseveryone knows.
Stockton malone should have won one. Also. You should really make a video on Tom chambers. He scored more than any non hall of Famer, and posterized a guy by jumping over him to dunk. Basically hyper athletic shooting big In the 80s that history forgot about. I need more people to know the impact my dude tc24 had on the future of bigs
(Edit correct me if I'm wrong about scoring. I think he's 15th all time)
1:40 That's conjecture!
Lol
You should just do video on anyone who was a starter on NBA Jam back in the day.
I can now die happy! This proves you are a good son. Lol!
Happy Mother's day.
You all call your mom now, ya hear?
N. Arnett 😂 happy Mother’s Day 👩
@@airjones45 Thank you so much Darius! That's nice of you.
This is the most heartwarming thing I've seen in a while. This is the type of content I subscribed for.
Also Jonny, you gotta pin your mom's comment lol come on now
Hello happy belated mother's day Mrs Arnett! Just curious why you wanted the video of Mike Bibby specifically. Don't get me wrong. He was a VERY underrated player. Shocked to hear he was never an all-star.
@@MJIZZEL Thank you for the belated Mother's Day wish! I had a great day on a picnic and playing disc golf with my sons. 🌄
Thanks for the question. To tell you the truth, I loved watching Mike Bibby with his short little body (comparitively) and his bald head speedily running back and forth on the court. I was always super thrilled to see him get some hoops in too. I will confess to YOU that I even thought he was cute. LOL! Any game he was in I paid more attention to. ⛹️ Now, if I knew more about basketball I would get technical with you, but I guess we all love the game for various reasons. Oh BTW, I just found out about Buff Bibby a few months ago...hehe.
Do you have a favorite player?
Finally a video for Bibby, one of the most underrated NBA players.
EVER!!! I remember when Bibby tore Nash up in the playoffs, the year that the NBA GAVE the Lakers 2 wins in the conference finals which in turn gave the Lakers the championship too... Never viewed the league the same after that... But bottom line, Bibby was the shit & is WAY UNDERRATED!
I watched that Lakers-Kings series last year and was surprised nobody ever talked about MIke Bibby, despite him being a pretty good player.
He was tough and consistent as a pg.
@Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA also was pretty clutch. made big shots in the 4th quarter or with the game on the line which was big on that kings team because Webber and Peja had bad reputations in crunch time. Peja was what he was but having Bibby at PG really helped Webber's game. Webber's passing skills were minimized with J-Will compared to Bibby because of their style of play as PG this is what like you say makes Bibby a More Team Player. Also because of Bibby 3 pt and clutch play. This allowed Webber to not have to take over games in the last couple minutes but stay in the team concept at Bibby usually rose to a co-star caliber player those last 2-3 minutes and could knock down big shots.
@@carlwallace1129 thats exactly what they needed to. He was a perfect fit on those teams.
@@thomasdemay9805 i still dont understand the bibby and j will trade 😅 bc they both great but bibby is a higher drafty than jason in their same draft year 😅 idk can u guys explain it?
Pretty good lol? He was elite!
Mike Bibby is definitely underrated and in my opinion was not afraid of the moment against the Lakers in the 02 WCF. You can tell that despite biased officiating, none of the guys on his team wanted and the games were close. In the stacked Western Conference full of elite point guards he wasn't going to make it. I think at best he should've been anywhere from a 2 to 4 time all-star. Good video Jonny and Happy Mother's Day to your mom
Bibby was a gamer. Loved watching those Kings teams with him.
I was a huge kings fan back then. I actually met Bibby once at an audio store. I was a little kid and ended up following him around the store in my wheelchair for an awkwardly long time. When I was in the hospital he sent me a bunch of kings merch too. The whole team was great.
When you said you mom likes Bibby, i quickly thought of buff Bibby. Glad you mentioned that 🤣
I didn't know Buff Bobby existed until about 8 months ago. Go Bibby!
Definitely better than Jason Williams
The 2002 Kings should have been the NBA Champs!!! With The guys you mentioned plus Vlade Divac (except his forever boneheaded tipped rebound to Robert Horry) playing beautiful team basketball the way it is meant to be played. Bibby was a clutch part of what could have been. I was at all the the home games in Sacramento’s playoff run that year and it was a joy to behold*. Happy Morher’s Day to your Mom. Thanks for her insistence.
I lived in Sac for 20 years, Was a die hard fan, watched every telivised game. Been to manny home games. I died a little inside, realizing how corrupt the NBA was when the Kings were robbed in the playoffs. I stopped watching basketball ofter that. I could couldn't stomach watching the officials throwing the games anymore.
Im a Lakers fan, and I'll say this. You're absolutely right. I was shitting bricks watching that series.
Man if I was a Kings fan, I wouldn’t even blame the refs for that Game 6 fiasco. I would blame Divac’s dumbass for tipping the rebound to Robert Horry for that game winning 3 in game 4. If he would’ve man up and grab the rebound, the Kings would’ve took a 3-1 series lead and wouldn’t have to worry about a game 6.😊
@@Theterminato2013 There will always be that too
Mike Bibby put on some of the greatest shooting displays this game has everah seen. I would say he was an elite.
Love your mom. Lol. I wore 10
In HS and College because of Bibby. Thanks for this! And thanks N. Arnett forcing him to do this. Lol
This is the game where a nose fouled an elbow.
One of the most underrated clutch players ever. His stats don't pop out but he's a great floor general and that's why the kings took the next step when they swapped J Will for him. Too bad the Kings didn't know how to build around him after all the older players started to leave.
As a Lakers fan, Mike Bibby gave me nightmares. Him and Chauncey Billups were the 2 Pgs I feared the most whenever the Lakers faced the Kings and Pistons. Bibby imo was the Kings best player throughout the 2002 playoffs and carried CWebb’s choking ass throughout clutch moments in the 2002 WCF.
He was GREAT PLAYER, and UNDERRATED, Loved watching his games. Much love from NEPAL ;-)
One of his best attributes is that he rarely made mistakes…rarely made a bad pass, rarely took a bad shot. Just solid all around game with a high IQ…his defense was suspect but other than that…he’s everything you wanted in a PG from that era imo
As a U of Arizona and Vancouver Grizzlies fan, Bibby resonated even before that Kings lineup, one of my favorite NBA teams ever. Great pick by your mom.
It's also worth mentioning that the assists were really spread out among several guys on the Kings, Webber and Divac having great passing skills for big men, so Bibby didn't have to be the sole playmaker.
He was a Mike Conley of the 2000s in the King Teams.He wasn't a true star but his contributions were tangible and underrated especially in the 2002 WCF where his teammates shied away
@bojo perez Conley is underrated but overpaid
He was Jamal Murray
@@raydelblaise9403 Jamal Murray can’t hold Mike Bibby’s jockstrap.
I am a die hard kings fan all due to bibby and Webber. That was the most fun I’ve ever had watching basketball. Man I miss that kind of ball
Way back when I was 4-5 years old my father was a huge Bibby fan. One night we were inside a Toys R Us near the Arden Mall in Sac where we ran into him. He was shopping for his baby at the time. I remember my dad held a decent conversation with him for quite a while. My sister and I we're too nervous to say anything, but it was super cool of him to sign the shirts we wore at the time. Too bad my mom threw out all our old shit lol
Bibby was on the 1997 Arizona National Championship team that knocked off Kentucky, North Carolina and Kansas all #1 seeds and loaded with NBA talent.
I was obsessed with that king's team. The jerseys everything. Even though I typically on watch sixers. Bibby was one smart player.
I remember watching the McDonald’s All-American high school basketball game in 1996. It was focused on Kobe but Bibby showed up.
Thank you so much for this video, I’ve asked another youtuber to do a video on Mike Bibby many times, but he never did! I also feel that Mike Bibby is underrated, he should’ve made at least one all stars. Thanks again
I love Mike Bibby he’s elite to me. I watched this when u posted but I just rewatch for favorite players. He’s an elite player he can shoot,pass, kinda defend, rebound at his position. I miss Mike a lot he’s my favorite player I am a hawks fan but I really wanted us to get him we did an to me he did all we could want we were struggling he gave us light. I wish he could be on team in mentor way I want him helping Trae to me that’s best two point guards we have had in my life I was born in 1995 so I want
Ore success for this franchise
Bibby was a solid, smart player and a great shooter. Could’ve made an all star team or 2..
until ksoo knocked him off
Mike Bibby's closes to ever winning a championship was in 2011 when he was with the Heat. But there was a guy in that series that choked big time so he ended up not winning a title.
Is that guy wearing jersey no.6?
@@scottjean5271 yes. The guy that claimed himself to be the greatest because they came back from a 3-1 against a hindered GS Warriors.
@@isokj8847 ohh. That is the same guy who was outplayed by Terry and Barea.
I went to high school in Portland and there was a kid that would wear a Vancouver Grizzlies Mike Bibby jersey semi ironically.
Don't you famously do everything semi-ironically in those parts?
@@phoule76 Don't get me started! There was another kid that wore a Thomas the Tank engine backpack... and this is just from when I was in high school!
Yep one of the best pgs in my opinion he never gets no love dude was a sniper for 3 and tough on the drive
Bro my mom loved Bibby as well. We use to live in Sacramento and I seen bibby one day at my school and my mom literally ran to my school to come see him.
Bibby was good enough to be the third guy on a team depending on a big 3. Had he played in the East in his prime, he'd have made the All-Star team.
i don't know but tony parker isn't better than bibby during their primes. tony uses alot of screens which made him look good and he had consistently had a better team.
@@khalidpangaibat4636 exactly. Bibby was definitely better than Parker in the early 2000s.
Johnny artnett underrated nba RUclips should be your name
Got to meet bibby in Scottsdale 2 years ago, nice dude
You should have started with his National Champioship run at Arizona. The kid was a beast in college
Watching Vladi block that shot to Horry was so bad. I was a huge Pippen fan. Wanted anyone to beat LA
Hey Jonny, I think your video content is solid, but may I ask why you use FG% rather than TS% or EFG%? I think it can be misleading if you look at a player who shoots 47% but only shoots 2's, and then compare to someone who shoots 44% but ultimately is more effective and efficient at scoring because he shoots multiple 3's a game.
effective field goal percentage is itself a misleading stat. I can show you a video why
@@masterchiefwasdonedirty9705 I know that TS% and EFG% aren't perfect, but they're much better than FG%.
Saw him at a grocery store in scottsdale. I looked right at him and said .... "Andre Miller tho"🤣
How good was Larry Johnson
He was Madea on steroids 💀
Old Zion
Tbh your moms very smart lol Mike Bibby was a huge part of why I love basketball when he was a king an I’m a hawks fan so u can imagine I was leaping up an down as a young kid when we traded for him. I think he is absolutely the best player to never be an all star.
I know there have been some great teams to never win the championship but that 02 kings squad was the best of them all.
im from Argentina, and I always loved the team that they made with Stojakovic, Webber, Christie, etc. I came to United States and I bought his jersey from Sacramento Kings. he could be one of the best point guards ever.
Hall of famer, in head to head match ups against the likes of Steve Nash Marbury Kidd, Francis, Payton in that time mike would have his way with them, to the point where they had to put the teams best defender on him, Bruce Bowen micheal Finley Kobe in that conference finals series had to try to check him but couldn’t, mike was a consistent 15 5 and 5 he was clutch and was a product of lack of stats from the team he played on because it was team oriented
I’ve always been a fan of Bibby. I thought Steph Curry coming out of the draft could’ve had a similar career. Bibby was more of a true point and Curry is a better shooter, but they had similar builds and relied more on smarts and skill than freakish athleticism.
Loving the series. Can't wait to see some of the posterizing dunkers like Skawn Kemp, Vince Carter, D Wilkins, etc be featured
I have no idea how good he is but my favorite team was Sacramento and Spurs that time, the only team I ever became fan of. My idol is Peja but I like everyone in their team as they have their own role just like the San Antonio Spurs.
Great content as always Johnny.
Have you done a "How Good" on Willis Reed, Jerry Lucas, Shawn Kemp, Pistol Pete, Damon Stoudemire, Terry Porter?
He did one on Pistol and BTM did a couple on Kemp. I'd love to see a Stoudemire or Porter one. Actually, every guy you mentioned should get a 'How Good Was He?' video. I feel like most people know how good Willis was but would still be a great topic
Willis Reed is criminally unknown to the average fan. Was MVP and champion at center in a league with Wilt, Russell and Kareem. That says it all
I actually stopped watching NBA after 2002 Western Finals, I was so mad, it was so clear they robbed Sacramento.
Now , lots of years later, will give NBA a second shot.
Wow you're gonna be in for a wild ride. I've been watching for 25 years but I can definitely say that I don't like the direction the game has taken since like 2015. It has become extremely three-point oriented and offensive-minded. I honestly preferred watching a 85-79 slugfest over the All Star game scores we're seeing every second game now. I also miss the real rivalries. Star players are switching teams so often now, the teams don't have that same identity anymore. I'll continue to watch for a long time hopefully but with the retirement of the Big 3 in San Antonio I am struggling to have the same enthusiasm.
@@Ivander85 Wow, I need to see this again and try to adapt to this new era.
I did too for a year or 2. I'm not a LA or Sac fan but was so blatant cheating I felt insulted
Bibby’s handles was crazy
Webber, stojakovic, bosh, billups, wallace, laimbeer, wes unseld, willis Reed, walt Frazier, kemp, Jason Williams, kenny the jet, Pau Gasol, tony parker, Ginobili, bob mcadoo, larry johnson
Really enjoy your how good was videos. Please go Ray Allen when you get a chance. Thanks man and keep up the great work.
They were robbed in 02 wfc but him and Chris Webber had a chance and they came up short but that team was grinders
My Fav Player of All time . 2002 NBA Champs #Sactown
Could we get a Rasheed Wallace video?
I've been living in Europe since 2005, haven't followed basketball since then. It took me a while to even remember who this dude was😅
Then it all came back to me. I lost money on that Kings team against the Lakers😒
Elden Campbell scored more points in the 1990's than any other Laker. A list that includes numerous all timers (Magic, Worthy, Shaq, Kobe) yet no one remembers him.
sethsassy he was a pretty good player and he had the longest tenure in the 90’s with the Lakers. He played almost the whole decade with them from 1990-1999, but played with the hornets in the 99 season.
Helped our Pistons win it all in '05 also 👍
IMHO, the best player of the post-MJ era to never make an All-Star game. He'd be even more successful today with his great range, passing skills, and ability to get to the rim.
Thanks for the upload. Great video as always.
0:18 my turn now! How good was John Starks really?
Lol. I think that one will happen eventually, and it won't take Mother's Day to get it done. hahaha
@@jonnyarnett loool
At Arizona he was a BEAST! 🔥 👹
Didn't him and Jason Terry win NCAA it with the Wildcats ?
I got 3.....how good was nick van exel....how good was lamar Odom and how good was baron davis...
Nicky V was my favorite player for a while, the time between Magic retiring and Kobe gettting drafted. Hell, even during Kobe's first two seasons, it wasn't until the Lakers traded V did Kobe, officially, become my guy
I always thought Van Exel looked like Barkley's little bro or son...angry bald guys with big eyebrows
Lamar Odom was cracked 😳
@@mprattyh3 vanExcel was a stud and had great shooting range and a crafty player in the open court with a greater assist to turnover ratio in his Lakers years.Van excel and Kobe could have been a dynamic back court if the right coach would have got their egos in check
@@carlwallace1129 if Phil would've gotten there before they traded him and Eddie Jones that shit would have been unstoppable. Imagine if Jerry West was allowed to trade for the rights to draft T Mac like he wanted to.
I always thought Bobby Jackson should have started over Bibby. He was a better shooter, better attacking the rim and a better defender. He also kicked TMac's ass!
Coco Buff maybe wasn’t as good as setting the pace, being a facilitator and leader. I loved Bobby Jackson off the bench, he was their spark, but I know what you mean and you have a valid point.
Can we get one on White Chocolate?
Bibby was the heart of that Kings squad.
Im a lakers fan and i got pissed when bibby got elbowed in the face by kobe in 2002 Bibby and those Kings teams were pretty much what Chef and The GS warriors are now in terms of style of play.
You know who els likes Mike Bibby ?
*MY* *MOM*
doloman77 Lol. Glad I’m not alone in this
That's awesome. She's got good taste. 😁
HAHAHAHA, regular show reference
@@fidelomil8242 A man of culture.
One of the celebrities that approached me.
I like how you savagely ignored your mother for 2 years 😂 good vid
I like this guy if tht series wasn't rigged he would have a 1 ring
Dammit as a Sacramento Native and a Kings fan I remember his years as a king and that title run. A lot of disappointment. We got Robbed.
One of my favorite players..
Those west coast championship games are classics.
Cheatin ref.
If he played in today's game, imagine how good he would be..
Maybe hang around 20 ppg average, at least.
That series was soooo close!
Great video.
Way to shout out Mike Bibby
Bibby was a all star snubb ,he should have won over Tony Parker 1season.he definitely were would have been a all star if he was in the eastern conference in the early mid 2000s before 2008 .Mike Bibby was very good to solid in his prime.
How good was Brandon Roy ???
I was a big fan of Bibby. It was a shame what happened in that 02 playoffs
Bibby was dope
Mike Bibby was a walking bucket and played above avg d 2000-08 I think he was a top 3 point guard
Happy mother's day to your mom!
CAN YOU DO A HOW GOOD WAS MARK JACKSON one of the lesser talked about true point guards
My favorite player for a couple years
Bibby would be right there with Curry and Damain Lillard in today's NBA. 😄
It would be cool to have a mom who is also into basketball
Im mike bibbys biggest fan #sacramentoproud
I saw Bibby in Cheesecake Factory - Lenox a few months back.. he is jacked!
Since we’re talking about underrated players not making All Star teams, how about do a video on Rod Strickland?
Do one on Dell Curry.
this guy hasn't aged....
If anyone is wondering bibby lives in phoenix arizona
Do how good was Byron Scott. Great defender, Great mid ranger shooter, and underrated athlete.
Mike Bibby also won the 1996 Mr.Basketball for the best high school basketball player in the USA, the runnerup? Kobe Bryant.
Pick and pop with CWebb is a thing of beauty
Bibby Christie Peja Webber Divac loved that team growing up
Got his autograph today
How about "How good was Horace Grant"?
Thanks in advance
How good was suggestions: Oscar Robertson, Walt Frazier, Walt Bellamy, Jerry Lucas, Elvin Hayes, Wes Unseld, Willis Reed, Bob McAdoo, Rick Barry, Dave Cowens, Jo Jo White, Artis Gilmore, and finally George Mikan.
There's also my favorite player of All-Time: Connie Hawkins.
nice
1st
@@unlockedaccount lol
He gets overlooked cause the guards in the West was Kobe, Nash, Ray Allen, and Stevie Franchise... good luck making that all star game.
if Webber didn't get hurt in 2003 playoffs they was gonna be champs...
Making request for Artis Gilmore and Rick Barry for a future video please!
Great suggestions! I've had quite a few people suggest Rick Barry, so I'm pretty sure I'll make his decently soon
@@jonnyarnett Thank you Jonny!
I just telling a kid how mike bibby was our steph curry in central Cali.

Bibby was awesome!!
