Adam Gibson (188-G-86) of the Gold Coast Blaze has snared his first Player of the Week award with an outstanding effort in Round 18 against the red hot Melbourne Tigers on Saturday night.
Gibsons performance came at a crucial time for the Blaze, who are currently vying for the minor premiership.
With starting import guard Ayinde Ubaka out injured, the Blaze asked Gibbo to step up as on-court leader as they faced the surging Tigers. He responded magnificently with a near triple-double performance while guiding the Blaze to a critical 99-91 win in overtime at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.
With the World Championships in his sights, Gibbo gave the Boomers selectors something to think about as he took apart the Tigers in scorching fashion. Gibson finished with 15 points, six rebounds and 12 assists in 41 minutes of game time. His all round effort was capped off with one steal and one block. Gibson shot 6-of-17 from the field and did not miss from the foul line hitting two from two.
Gibsons first weekly honour could not have come at a better time for the Blaze, who are looking to finish in the top two and guarantee themselves home court advantage in the NBL Semi Finals.
New Zealand Breakers star Kirk Penney will have to be disappointed at not receiving the award for the second week running after a dominant display at The Swamp on Wednesday night. Penney finished with 22 points and nine rebounds on 7-of-16 shooting which included 4-of-8 three pointers.
Melbournes Julius Hodge also had an outstanding week statistically, averaging 20.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 9.0 assists across two games, a win over Adelaide and a loss to Gold Coast.
