CLEVELAND -- Former Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Daniel “Booby” Gibson was in the house at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland to watch his former teammate, small forward LeBron James, lead this year’s squad against the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the 2018 NBA Eastern Conference Finals Saturday night.

During his seven-year career with the Cavaliers, Gibson made the fourth-most three-pointers in team history, 587, but in the minds of Cleveland fans, he is perhaps known best for his Game 6 performance against the Detroit Pistons in the 2007 NBA Eastern Conference Finals at Quicken Loans Arena.

On a night when the Cavaliers clinched their first-ever trip to the NBA Finals by getting their first-ever win in the month of June, Gibson famously knocked down all five of his three-point shots on the way to a team-best 31-point effort in the Cavaliers’ 98-82 series-clinching victory over the Pistons.

Gibson played in a reserve role in Game 6, but over 29 minutes, he knocked down seven of his nine looks from the field, and was perfect from beyond the arc.

Additionally, Gibson made 12 of his 15 attempts from the free-throw line, pulled down six rebounds, including two on the offensive end of the floor, assisted on two other baskets and finished plus-19 for the game.
