It’s been six years since former NBA player Mike Bibby took to a pro court, but it’s clear from a stunt on March 21, 2018, that he remains a pretty wicked opponent — at least for the average streetballers. Since leaving the pro game in 2012, Bibby hasn’t strayed too far from the sport, serving as a coach for his alma mater, Arizona’s Shadow Mountain High School.
While the video below shows that Bibby has kept up his chops on the court, six years away from the public eye is long enough that you can understand why his presence on a random public court wouldn’t draw much attention or suspicion from other players.
However, to ensure that he wasn’t spotted, he gave his opponents an alias, introducing himself as “Chris” to his unsuspecting victims. The account of Bibby’s undercover dominance comes via his son, Michael, who had the foresight to record the short work his father made in a game of 21.
Was the former NBA star doing this to impress his son? Out of boredom? As a laugh?
The intent isn’t clear, but any of those answers would be satisfactory as Bibby delighted himself by living out a real-life Uncle Drew scenario, proving his razor-sharp skills die hard.
Granted, the footage is grainy and brief, but it’s impossible to miss the mischievous smile that crosses Bibby’s face as he lines up after sinking a deep ball.
The whole scenario makes us wonder: Why doesn’t EVERY retired athlete do this for kicks?

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
