In just two seasons, Gibson has slowly proven himself to be a key player in what will someday be a championship team. Just this past season, Gibson showed the world when he was named All-Star of the 2008 NBA All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge Game in New Orleans, Louisiana. In that game, which puts the NBA's top rookies against the NBA's top second year players, Gibson scored 33 points, making a record 11 three-pointers made, despite not even starting.
