Well, the secret is out now. A former Knicks point guard has recently made a shocking claim, stating that a teammate stole an envelope filled with cash from his backpack while they were both in New York. Mike Bibby, a 14-year NBA veteran, revealed that he was allegedly robbed “three or four times” during his single season with the Knicks in 2011-12. In an interview with Knicks Fan TV, Bibby mentioned that he often carried an envelope of cash to gamble on the team plane. After several alleged incidents, he realized that someone was tampering with his things. It turns out it was one of his teammates. Bibby accused the unidentified player of even going to the hotel front desk to obtain a key to Bibby’s room, knowing it would be empty.
According to Bibby, hotel security footage captured the accused, and the envelope was later found in that teammate’s bathroom. Bibby said that then-head coach Mike Woodson and general manager Glen Grunwald met with him and the alleged thief to return the money. The teammate reportedly claimed it was just a “joke,” which Bibby firmly disputed. While he refused to disclose any names, he did mention that it was not Bill Walker, whom he referred to as a “buddy.”
It also couldn’t have been JR Smith, as Bibby mentioned that JR offered to “whoop” the thief. So, who could it be? We can only speculate, but here’s the full roster of the 2011-12 Knicks for your consideration: 2011-12 New York Knicks roster: Carmelo Anthony, Amar’e Stoudemire, Renaldo Balkman, Mike Bibby, Tyson Chandler, Baron Davis, Toney Douglas, Landry Fields, Dan Gadzuric, Josh Harrellson, Jared Jeffries, Jerome Jordan, Jeremy Lin, Steve Novak, Iman Shumpert, JR Smith, and Bill Walker.
