Mike Bibby Is Already Bringing In Former Nba Players' Sons As He Begins Rebuilding Sacramento State

Mike Bibby and Shaquille O'Neal are going to be mixing it up again, all these years later.

No more Kings-Lakers rivalry or on-court trash talk. Now, it's Bibby the college coach and O'Neal the student-athlete father.

Good thing they get along great these days - because Shaq's son, Shaqir, verbally committed to play for Bibby in the former Kings star's new position as head coach at Sacramento State .

"Me and Shaq have a good relationship. It probably wasn't good when we were playing against each other," Bibby said with a grin when formally introduced at the school Tuesday. "There was a lot of try to get a rivalry going, try to make it big time in the league."

Don't be surprised if more NBA players' sons wind up in California's capital with one of the most beloved stars to come through the Sacramento franchise. Bibby's phone hasn't stopped ringing since he was hired last week to take over the program. He doesn't even have time anymore to take his daily naps.
