Daniel Hiram Gibson was born February 27, 1986, in Houston, Texas. He is a professional basketball player who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers. "Boobie", was his nickname and was given to him by his mother. Gibson was drafted in the second round and was the 42nd overall pick of the NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. After a pre-draft workout with the Cavs, Gibson canceled all his remaining workouts with other teams and refused to work out for any other team before the draft. Many people believe this is why Gibson fell to the second round after some thought he might be drafted in the first round. He joined a Cavaliers backcourt that was worst in the league in scoring the season before. Gibson currently ranks in a tie with Jumaine Jones for 14th all time in three pointers made by a Cavalier. As of February 20, 2008, he has made 163 three pointers in his Cavalier career.
