Booby Gibson on the 2007 Cavs
Listen now
Description
Daniel "Booby" Gibson joins the show to relive the 2007 Eastern Conference Champion Cavs' season. The main storyline of the Cavs season is the 22-year-old phenom LeBron James. He has the defining moment of his career to this point, scoring the last 25 points for the Cavs in Game 5 of the East Finals vs Detroit. But, what people forget, is that in the following game, it was Booby who stole the show to close out the Pistons, pouring in 31 points and finishing 5/5 from deep. Surrounding Booby and LeBron was Larry Hughes, Big Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Anderson Varajao, Drew Gooden and Eric Snow. Cleveland finished with 50 wins, 2 seed in the East and the #4 defense in the league. Booby counters the opinion that East was weak, explains why Tony Parker was his "welcome to the NBA" matchup, talks through why the Cavs couldn't get back to The Finals, and more.
