Former NBA player Mike Bibby is regarded as one of the greatest players in Sacramento Kings history.
He was a member of teams that competed against the Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant-led Los Angeles Lakers in the 1990s and early 2000s. So Bibby, a die-hard Heat fan, was outraged when he heard "Let's Go Heat" chants in the arena during Monday's game against Sacramento.
Bibby presently delivers post-game commentary for NBC Sacramento.
"I wanna harp on this first," Bibby stated at the start of the broadcast. "I don't enjoy the cries of "Let's Go Heat" that are going around the arena. These guys are attempting to make a push. Our squad cannot hear that from the best NBA fans."
The chants erupted as the Heat sealed their victory. They won despite being without Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic, Josh Richardson, Tyler Herro, and Terry Rozier.
Bibby, who played one season in Miami in 2011 during LeBron James' reign, praised the Heat for dealing with adversity.
"The Miami Heat came in, stepped in guys that usually don't play, came in, played hard," Bibby went on to say. "We didn't have the same energy that we had [Sunday] night and it showed."
