I think he probably will..the only other West pgs that are definitely better than him at the moment IMO are Marbury, Francis, and Payton...Nash is debatable, but I think he's overrated. The only west SGs that are better than him are Kobe and Ray Allen. When Payton retires, it'll be easier for him. Who knows though, he could have a breakout year this season and make it this year. If not, I say he still will sometime in the next 3 seasons.

He has Stephon Marbury, Gary Payton, Steve Nash and Steve Francis to beat out for sure. I definitely don't think he will be voted in, but if one of those PG's goes down then he will get called up, if they don't go down then he will just be a spectator.

All of those PG's I mentioned do everything better than him and they all played in the game last year.

Considering his backup is better than him? Hopefully not. And considering he's in the West he probably won't get there.

And plus Baron Davis the 04-05 season, so it doesn't look good.

Good point. Finally Bibby will be exposed for the fake he is.

People are just listing PGs, but he has to beat out SGs too. All-star games only view things by G/F/C. I could see him being a possible injury sub if two guards get knocked out, but that's about it. He's not a bad player at all, but definitely not all-star caliber.

Bibby can only be an All-star if...

1) he get called up as a replacement (when the original All-star guard(s) is/are injured).

2) he moves to Eastern Conference to play (it'll still be hard)

3) he has a break-out year.

No way can he be all-star if he remains to play at this standard (when even Bobby Jackson (his back-up) plays better than him). He will not have any chance of making it as an All-star starter (not popular enuff) so he'll need to make the all-star team based on his performance in the regular season.

another player that hasn't been mentioned is Nick Van Exel. With his trade to G.S., he will be a starter and put up monster numbers. His PPG and APG is and will be better than Bibby's.

Guards that are better than Bibby imo (in no particular order):
1. NVE
2. Franchise
3. Kobe
4. GP
5. Marbury
6. Ray Allen
7. Finley (will play solely at SG w/ addition of Jamison)

A case can be made for Cassell and Sprewell since coming out to the West. It's gonna be interesting to see how that team plays together

I can't see Bibby cracking All Star status anytime soon. He's a better playoff player than regular season player and the All Star is based on the regular season.

For guards fans generally go for those flashy dunkers or high scorer. Players like Francis, Cassell, or Marbury are ball hogs who are too short to play SGs. They won't take their teams to the next level but they are fun to watch in an All-Star game.

Bibby is a better shooter, clutch performer, and overall better floor general than most western PGs except maybe Nash. But how many times have you seen him dunk? I rest my case. I say at the most, he makes it one time.

The guard position is stacked with bigger guards, and points. He would need to have a bust out year, and then some luck.

Unless he plays like he did in the playoffs two years ago over the course of a whole season, no.

Sportarium · 09-04-2003, 12:47 PM

No way, unless 2 pg's get injured, but then again, it would not be an earned trip.
