    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A father and son. So alike. So inseparable. And the big reason to keep it that way.

    Moms know. They study one child long enough, then observe the grandchild and easily connect the similarity dots.
    Virginia Bibby, mother of Mike Bibby, was watching her grandson Michael sleep the other day when it struck her again. She stood there in her son's living room, gazing at the slumbering second coming and thought, Well, look at that. They even sleep alike, hands clasped, facial expressions, everything.

    Then there's the eating -- more precisely described as picking through the vittles the way a jeweler goes through his finest stock, examining each gem and exploring every facet. No french fry is wolfed down. It is meticulously examined, turned slightly, then nibbled. Morning toast or bagel? It's "Be Like Mike" here, too, with 6-year-old junior scraping off even the slightest burnt sections before eating, much like his Kings dad seated a few feet away.

    Video games? Absolute junkies, both of them. They'd play for hours if not for the sight of Darcy Watkins, Michael's mother and Mike's longtime girlfriend, standing there with her arms crossed and fingers tapping with the look that says, Why don't you go out and play? It's a nice day.</div>

    Always nice to see a player still have great relationships with their families.

    It's so nice to see lighthearted things in the NBA. Especially the player friendships like Duncan and Robinson, especially Magic and Bird.

    Nice story.

    I agree with you, Magic Johnson. Things like these are nice to read up.

    Yeah, I live here in Sac so when I got the paper that day I thought that was the cutest thing. His son really is a spitting image of him, look at his feet, both of em have feet that turn to the inside.

    Great article, it's nice to read something like this for a change [​IMG] I'm so sick of always hearing about these stereotypical NBA bad boys that sleep with a different women every night.

    i don't think he's married... its just his longtime girlfriend... or has that changed? and he was in vegas with those girls...wow, i didnt' know he was like that... i dont think his sisters would be blonde anyway... bibby DOES claim to be black, ya know... so his sisters can't be too blonde unless they were highlights...
