NBA veteran free agent guard Mike Bibby is not yet thinking about retirement and seeing Derek Fisher  sign with the Mavericks has given Bibby hope that he too can catch on with a contender after spending last season with the New York Knicks.  

‘I’m getting ready for any call,’ Bibby said. ‘It’s reassuring that Derek Fisher got that call. People are still getting calls right now. It can happen somewhere down the line, I’m not worried about that. I’m just keeping myself ready when that call comes.’ [...] ‘Last year everybody was telling me ‘It’s a lockout, lockout, lockout’, so I was trying to take it easy, saving my body a little bit....Then two days later I have to be here and go. It was tough to have only a few days to get in shape into training camp. Not being in shape at the beginning of the season, I think it hurt me.....I can bring leadership, I can play mentor, I can play whatever role that the team wants me to play’, Bibby said. ‘I can still shoot the ball. I feel I can still move pretty well, getting the ball to the stars on the team … Doing a little stuff like that. I’m a good locker room guy.’”
