He later set the whole-game record in the second half with eleven total three-pointers, finishing the game shooting 11–20 from three-point range. Gibson was named MVP of the game, finishing with 33 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. Gibson Gone Wild by John Schuhmann Posted Feb 16 2008 12:23AM NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 16, 2008 -- Boobie likes the long ball. Boobie especially likes the long ball from the left wing. And Boobie might just have an allergy to paint. Daniel "Boobie" Gibson took 20 shots in tonight's T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam, all of them from beyond the three point line. He connected on 11 of the bombs for a game-high 33 points, leading the Sophomore squad to their sixth straight Challenge win, a 136-109 victory at New Orleans Arena. The Rookies kept the game surprisingly competitive in the first half, and it was tied at 24 with 10:46 remaining in the first half when Gibson checked in. He immediately hit a three off an assist from Jordan Farmar. The Rookies answered and led by three a few minutes later when Gibson hit four straight bombs (with a Paul Millsap miss mixed in) to help the Sophomores take back control. "He made three in a row early and I was like, 'Wow, this dude's on fire,'" Sophomore teammate Brandon Roy said after the game. "And I did a dribble handoff with him and he made his fourth. I was like, 'We're pretty much gonna win this game.'" For the half, Gibson hit 7-of-11 from downtown, and the "veterans" finished the half on a 19-8 run and take a 14-point lead into the break. Gibson benefited from the drive-and-kick skills of Farmar (who assisted on four of Gibson's first-half threes) and Roy, as well as the sometimes-slow-to-get-out Rookie D. "He told us he wanted to get ready for tomorrow night," Farmar revealed after the game, "so as the point guard, it was my job to find him, and he was just knocking them down." Tomorrow night is the Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout, where Gibson will compete against defending champ Jason Kapono and four other guys who are or were All-Stars. You shoot 25 threes in each round of the Shootout, so putting up 20 would certainly qualify as a good warmup, except that almost all of them came from the left wing. Five of Gibson's seven first-half bombs came from right in front of his Cavaliers teammate, All-Star LeBron James, who reacted to each one by walking down the court to gloat in front of buddy Chris Paul like a proud older (by just 14 months) brother. The second half was more of the same. The Rookies were hanging around within shouting distance (14 points) when Gibson reentered the game with 10:23 on the clock. He missed his first attempt from downtown, but on the next possession, he fed Rudy Gay with a beautiful alley-oop feed on the break. He hit a three from the left wing two possessions later, and then stripped Sean Williams to ignite a break that resulted in another Gay dunk. More Boobie threes ensued and the rout was on. When Gibson hit his 11th three of the night, LeBron, as if he was responsible for the barrage, stood up, started walking toward the exit and said "I'm gonna go home." After all, the Rookies were done and so was any discussion about who should be the MVP. The award belonged to Daniel Gibson, no questions asked. "He was the difference in this game," Roy said. "He was the reason why we separated and we were able to get a cushion to win the game." "Last time I remember shooting like this was probably Game 6 [of the Eastern Conference Finals] in that fourth quarter," Gibson told the media. He scored 31 points in that game, hitting 5-of-5 from downtown. The difference was that he got to the line 15 times against the Pistons. Tonight, he didn't take a shot inside the arc and he didn't get to the line once. But hey, people have learned to live with all kinds of allergies. So there's no reason someone allergic to paint can't win the Rookie Challenge MVP. "It was unbelievable," he said. "It was special. I never imagined, never dreamed that I would come out and shoot the ball as well as I did in an environment and atmosphere like that. So right now, I don't really know what to say. I'm just excited and I'm happy I got the opportunity." Sophomore Streak at Six and Counting It is said that trouble comes in threes. Sophomore sharpshooter Daniel Gibson showed the Rookies just what that means.Gibson, the combo guard of the Cleveland Cavaliers, drained a record 11 3-pointers in 20 attempts and scored 33 points as the Sophomores again defeated the Rookies, 136-109, for their sixth straight victory in the 2008 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam at New Orleans Arena on Friday night. Gibson shattered Kyle Korver's Rookie Challenge record of seven 3-pointers set in 2005. He fell three points shy of Amare Stoudemire's 2004 mark for points in the annual showcase and took home MVP honors, joining Zydrunas Ilgauskas (1998) - not LeBron James - as the only Cavaliers to win the award. Memphis forward Rudy Gay scored 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting for the Sophomores, who had five players with at least 17 points. They shot 57 percent from the field, including 17-of-32 from the arc. The extra year of experience again was a factor. "I think it makes a big difference," said reigning Rookie of the Year Brandon Roy of Portland, who tuned up for Sunday's All-Star Game with 17 points and seven assists. The Rookies hung around for most of the first half but a late spurt by the Sophomores sparked by Gibson opened a 66-52 halftime lead. Seattle's Kevin Durant and Atlanta's Al Horford, the top two candidates for 2008 Rookie of the Year, led the Rookies, who made just four 3-pointers. Durant scored 23 points and Horford added 19. The T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam was televised live nationally on TNT and broadcast live on ESPN Radio. Daniel Hiram Gibson (born February 27, 1986)[1] is an American former professional basketball player who is an assistant coach and scout for the Cleveland Charge of the NBA G League. He was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the 2006 NBA draft and played seven seasons for them. High school career Gibson averaged 25.5 points per game and 9.3 assists per game while leading Jones High School in Houston, Texas to a 31–4 record and the Texas Class 4A state title as a senior. It marked the school's first state championship since 1965. Gibson graduated sixth out of 212 students in his high school class, and was a member of the National Honor Society.[2] College career Gibson starred as a guard in college basketball the University of Texas at Austin. In his two seasons with the Longhorns, he scored 935 points, including 175 three-point field goals. Gibson made 101 threes during the 2005–2006 season, including 9 of 12 against the Baylor Bears on January 21, 2006. It was one short of the Texas record of 10 set by Al Coleman against Kansas State in January 1997.[3] He scored a personal-high 37 points in that same game.[3] Gibson played two seasons at Texas and averaged 13.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 68 games (all starts). He was named Honorable Mention All-America by The Associated Press following his sophomore season. Gibson averaged 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game as a sophomore. He earned First-Team NABC All-District 9 honors and was named All-Big 12 Third Team. He set a school record for most three-point field goals made in a season (101). He was one of 16 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nation's top point guard. He sank at least four three-pointers in a game on 10 occasions. Gibson was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year after his first season, averaging 14.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. He was also named All-Big 12 Third Team and became the first freshman in school history to lead Texas in scoring.[1] On June 7, 2006, Gibson announced his decision to forgo his two remaining years of college eligibility and enter the NBA draft. NBA career Cleveland Cavaliers 2006–07 season and NBA Finals vs San Antonio Spurs On June 29, 2006, Gibson was drafted in the second round with the 42nd overall pick of the NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. After a May 2006 pre-draft workout with the Cavs, Gibson canceled his remaining workouts with other teams and refused to work out for any other team before the draft. It is believed this was the reason Gibson fell to the second round after some thought he might be drafted in the first round.[4] He joined a Cavaliers backcourt that was the worst in the league in scoring the previous season. In his rookie season, Gibson averaged 4.6 points per game and led all rookies in three-point field goal percentage, shooting 41.9%. Daniel contributed in helping the Cleveland Cavaliers reach the NBA playoffs. Cavs coach Mike Brown gave Gibson his first place in the starting line-up on December 6, 2006, against the Toronto Raptors.[5] He finished the game with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists. Overall, Gibson started 16 games and averaged 8.8 points on 53.9% shooting in his starts. Gibson had his first big playoff opportunity in game 3 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons. He scored 9 points, including two three-pointers. He also grabbed 2 rebounds, blocked 1 shot, and had an important steal from Tayshaun Prince late in the fourth quarter. He followed this in game 4, scoring 21 points, which came from only 6 field goal attempts. Gibson was also 12 of 12 from the free throw line. In Game 6, Gibson scored a career-high 31 points, sending the Cavaliers to their first NBA Finals.[6] Gibson was mentored in defensive skills by veteran teammate Eric Snow in the 2006–07 season. In game one of the 2007 NBA Finals against the Spurs, Gibson shined off the bench, leading the team in scoring with Gibson scoring 16 points efficiently, on 7 of 9 shooting. The Cavs would go on to lose game one, however, 76–85. In game two of the NBA Finals, Gibson had another solid game adding 15 points and overall being the second leading scorer behind LeBron James at this point while coming off the bench to Larry Hughes. Gibson played great basketball, being a great three point shooter, not turning the ball over and being effective overall. His first start in the playoffs came in the third game of the 2007 NBA Finals, after an injury to Larry Hughes. Game 3 was one of the worst games of the entire playoffs for Gibson. He shot an atrocious 1 for 10, and 0 for 5 from three. Shots could not fall, and the Cavaliers lost game 3 too 0–3. He started the following game as well. In the final game, game 4 of the 2007 NBA Finals, Daniel Gibson had a decent game, dropping 10 points to an eventual loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The series would be a sweep. He shot 4–10 from the field, and 2 for 6 from three. Daniel Gibson averaged 0 turnovers for the entire finals, and was the third leading scorer for the Cavaliers at 10.8 points per game behind Drew Gooden at 12.8 points a game. However, Daniel Gibson struggled defensively guarding Tony Parker who averaged 24.5 points a game and a finals MVP Trophy. 2007–08 season Gibson played in 58 games, starting 26 of those. He averaged 10.4 points, 2.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game. He scored a season-high 26 points on November 20, 2007 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gibson had a career-high six three-pointers against the New York Knicks on November 2, 2007, and a career-high eight assists against the Washington Wizards on December 5, 2007. Gibson ranked fifth in the NBA in three-point shooting percentage, making 44.0% of his three-point attempts.[7] Gibson missed 18 games in February and March due to an ankle injury suffered when he and the Indiana Pacers' Travis Diener dove in the lane for a loose ball in the second quarter of a Cavs win over the Pacers.[8] He returned to action on March 29, 2008 against the Detroit Pistons, scoring only 1 point in 18 minutes.[9] Gibson with the Cavs In game 5 against the Boston Celtics, in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, Gibson separated his shoulder and missed the final two games;[10][11] the Cavaliers lost 4–3 in the series. Gibson said missing game 7 of the Boston series still haunts him: "I've had a lot of sleepless nights just wondering where I could have helped the team."[11] Gibson was selected to participate in the Rookie Challenge (Sophomore team)[12] and the Three-point Shootout during the 2008 NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans. During the first half of the Rookie Challenge, Gibson tied the record for total three-pointers made, despite not being a starter in the game. He later set the record in the second half with eleven total three-pointers, finishing the game shooting 11–20 from beyond the arc. Gibson was named MVP of the game, finishing with 33 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.[13] Gibson finished in second place in the Three-point Shootout. He advanced to the final round by scoring 17 points in the first round, which tied him with Dirk Nowitzki for second place. In the final round, Gibson again scored 17 points, but it was not enough. Defending champion Jason Kapono tied the 22-year shootout record of 25 points for the victory.[14] 2008–09 season On June 10, 2008, Gibson had surgery on his ankle in Houston.[10] On July 16, 2008, the Cavaliers signed Gibson to a five-year, $21 million contract.[15] On November 26, 2008, Gibson scored his 1,000th career point in the Cavs' game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.[16] NBA career statistics Legend GPGames played GS Games started MPG Minutes per game FG% Field goal percentage 3P% 3-point field goal percentage FT% Free throw percentage RPG Rebounds per game APG Assists per game SPG Steals per game BPG Blocks per game PPG Points per game Bold Career high Regular season YearTeamGPGSMPGFG%3P%FT%RPGAPGSPGBPGPPG 2006–07Cleveland601616.5.424.419.7181.51.2.4.14.62007–08Cleveland582630.4.432.440.8102.32.5.8.210.42008–09Cleveland75023.9.391.382.7672.11.8.6.27.82009–10Cleveland561019.1.466.477.6941.31.3.4.16.32010–11Cleveland671527.8.400.403.8222.63.0.7.311.62011–12Cleveland35726.2.351.396.7912.92.2.7.57.52012–13Cleveland46320.0.340.344.7031.31.8.7.15.4 Career3977723.5.402.407.7802.02.0.6.27.8 Playoffs YearTeamGPGSMPGFG%3P%FT%RPGAPGSPGBPGPPG 2007Cleveland20220.1.431.409.8841.61.1.6.28.32008Cleveland11025.8.449.452.7141.72.5.6.29.02009Cleveland14012.3.325.3571.000.5.4.1.23.42010Cleveland504.6.286.2501.000.6.2.0.01.4 Career50217.6.415.407.8711.21.1.4.26.4 Personal life Gibson is the son of Byron and Cheryl Gibson. His father played basketball for the University of Houston.[1] Gibson and his ex-wife, Keyshia Cole, have a son.[1] The couple's 2011 wedding was filmed and aired on their BET reality TV series Keyshia & Daniel: Family First on October 9, 2012.[17] The couple later separated in 2014. On July 29, 2013, Gibson turned himself in to New Orleans police to face a charge of second degree battery related to an incident that took place earlier that month. His attorney declined to comment on the matter, but police said Gibson struck a man, breaking his jaw, in an altercation at a local night club.[18] After the 2012–2013 season, injuries to his foot and ankle, grieving his grandmother's death, and a lengthy divorce, Gibson began suffering from depression and anxiety, and began writing music to cope with the issues, contrary to rumors that he intentionally was starting a rap career.[19] In 2017, he toured internationally with other retired NBA players as a part of the Champions Basketball League [20] and he and Cole were featured in the VH1 reality TV show Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.[21] In 2018, Gibson was on the MTV television show The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars.
