BIG3 Week 1: Gilbert Arenas and Joe Johnson Introduction & More.

Mike Bibby vs. DeShawn Stevenson

Playmaker Prediction
Mike Bibby: 9 points & 2 assists
DeShawn Stevenson: 13 points & 1 steal

Every basket will be a fight, for both men.

DeShawn Stevenson is an old school hooper that prioritizes defense. He’s a dog- no buckets are easy when he’s on you. DeShawn is going to stay right up in Bibby’s face and make him push into the paint or kick it out for the most part.

Fortunately for Mike Bibby, he’s built like a tank.

If you haven’t seen recent pictures of Bibby, he puts body builders to shame. After packing on an additional 50lbs or so of muscle (our guess) since leaving the NBA, Bibby should be able to blow past and post up on DeShawn Stevenson.

Plus, he’s a shooter at heart and will make DeShawn pay if he gets a quick open look for a spot up jumper.
Nevertheless, DeShawn Stevenson is the reigning 3-point leader in the BIG3 and our pick to score more, but lose the game.
