Gibson's cold night

It was the Saturday that most NBA fans had circled on their calenders before the year started. One of the best days the NBA has to offer, "Saturday Showdown".

The night consisted of the shooting stars competitions, skills challenge, three-point shootout and of course the highly anticipated, dunk contest.

The lone Cavalier, Daniel "Boobie" Gibson was on display in the three-point shootout. However, he only showed for one round.

Boobie shot second behind eventual three-point champion, James Jones in the first round. Gibson came out flat missing his first nine shots. He made his first ball toward the end of the second rack.

It just wasn't the night for the Cavalier as time expired with balls still on the final rack. He finished with a score of 7.

However, on the bright side of things, Gibson did not finish last. That honor went to surprisingly Kevin Durant (6 points).

James Jones was the winner of the competition, fighting off two Celtics to win his first ever three-point shootout contest.

Jones finished with a round of 20 points beating Paul Pierce (18) and Ray Allen the all-time record holder for most three's.

Boobie ready for All-Star weekend

As All-Star weekend is coming up fast, and Daniel "Boobie" Gibson will be the lone Cavalier to participate in the exciting weekend.

I'm very stoked that a Cavalier was selected this year because of all the hard times this franchise has faced since this summer.

A summer that included multiple players leaving, coaching and front office changes and now a dismal first half, the Cavaliers (9-46) needed something good to happen.

Leave it up to one of the fan favorites in Cleveland to make that happen. Gibson was drafted and has played for Cleveland his entire career and he now will make his second appearance in the three-point contest.

Gibson was the runner-up in the 2008 All-Star games finishing behind Jason Kapono, who is a former Cavalier.

Boobie was selected along with five other stars will try and prove who has the best stroke from long distance. The other participants are; Kevin Durant (34.5%), Ray Allen (who recently broke Reggie Miller's all-time mark of most three's in a career), Paul Peirce (Defending Champion), James Jones (42.3%) and Dorell Wright (39.8%).

Gibson is shooting 44.6 percent from beyond the arc and has been one of the more consistent three-point shooters for the Cavaliers in recent years.

My prediction: Of course I am taking Boobie to win the 2011 contest. Ray Allen will be a close second but Boobie will make enough money balls to take home the prize.

Let's take a look at that sweet stroke that Clevelander's have been watching for the past years.
