Charles Henry Bibby (born November 24, 1949) is a former professional basketball player.
His brother, Jim Bibby, was a Major League Baseball pitcher, and his son, Mike Bibby, is a retired point guard of the National Basketball Association.
Bibby was a starting point guard as the UCLA Bruins won three straight NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championships in 1970, 1971 and 1972 under head coach John Wooden. Bibby helped lead the Bruins through the first 47 games of an 88-game winning streak and was named an All-American his senior year. He was one of only 4 players to have started on 3 NCAA championship teams; the others all played for Wooden at UCLA: Lew Alcindor, Curtis Rowe and Lynn Shackelford.
In the 1972 NBA draft, Bibby was drafted in the fourth round by the New York Knicks and in the second round of the 1972 ABA Draft by the Carolina Cougars. Bibby opted to play for the Knicks and was with the team for two-and-a-half seasons, which included an NBA title in 1973.
Bibby spent nine seasons in the NBA, and was a part of the 1977 and 1980 Philadelphia 76ers teams that made the NBA Finals but lost both times.
