About Mike Gibson

Michael Jerome Gibson is a retired professional basketball power forward who played two seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Washington Bullets (1983–84) and the Detroit Pistons (1985–86). Born in Williamsburg County, South Carolina, he was drafted out of the University of South Carolina Spartanburg by the Bullets during the second round of the 1982 NBA draft. Until the addition of Torrey Craig for the Denver Nuggets in 2017 via two-way contract, he was the only player in Upstate's history to ever play in the NBA. In 1993 he won with Hapoel Galil-Elion a historical championship in Israel; it was the first time after 23 years that another team other than Maccabi Tel Aviv won.
