Mike Bibby’s Knick Exit Revealed | New York Knicks News

Mike Bibby, once a sharp-shooting point guard, admits he didn’t want to play for the Knicks in 2011 — even though he grew up in New Jersey and his dad played for them. At 33, after 13 seasons and the physical toll of constant court time, he told coach Mike Woodson he was done. Even teammate Baron Davis couldn’t get him to play in a playoff game. Bibby signed a veteran’s minimum deal, but his heart wasn’t in it — not even when the Knicks offered him a role he might’ve liked more than Washington’s. He’d walked away from the Wizards before, forfeiting a buyout, but then he still wanted to play. This time? He was done. After nearly 1,000 games, his focus was off the court — and his candid exit reveals the mental and physical cost of a pro basketball career.
