Seemingly overnight, Mike Bibby got huge.
Yes, we’re talking about Bibby, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound point guard that played in the NBA from 1998 through 2011.
Bibby, who is training to play in the BIG3 this summer, posted a picture of himself looking absolutely jacked on Instagram on Thursday.
But really, is that really you Bibby?
Back when Bibby played in the NBA, he had the average build for a point guard. He was muscular, sure, but nothing compared to this. Just take a look at the side-by-side comparison.

Of course, Twitter users had a heyday with the new Bibby image. But Dwyane Wade’s reaction might have topped them all.
It all started when Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union, trolled him on Twitter.
Hey @DwyaneWade I betchu wouldn't chuck this Mike Bibby's shoe during a game 🤔🤔🤔😂💪🏾 https://t.co/baFhhSJQRH

Wade’s response was priceless.
2012: Hey Punk. Catch. 2018: Hey Sir. Excuse me you dropped your shoe🤷🏾♂️ https://t.co/Ij5aoHn3jK

(For some background: Then-knicks point guard Bibby lost his shoe after pulling down a rebound. While looking for a teammate to pass the ball to, Wade picked up Bibby’s abandoned shoe and tossed it off the court during a 2012 game.)
Here are some other notable reactions from Twitter:

And once again, Twitter wins and Gabrielle and Wade remain #RelationshipGoals.
