    The Bibby Draft (June 24, 1998)
    Jan 22 2026

    "Stu-brain" strikes again at the 1998 NBA Entry Draft. The Grizzlies get Mike Bibby, but miss on possibly-franchise-altering players Vince Carter and Paul Pierce.

    Stu's narcissism (or crippling insecurity?) once again prevent him from trading Big Country for Steve Nash. No, that is not a typo.

    But at least we know it's the last time the Grizzlies will ever draft a point guard with the 2nd overall pick in the NBA Draft. Right? Right, guys?
