True to the game, Gilbert’s superb work ethic is as characteristic as his phenomenal swag on the court, resulting in entertaining high-scoring duels and buzzer-beating, game-winning shots. His trademark down-to-earth candor, humor, accessibility and post-game ritual of tossing his jersey into the crowd have made him a fan favorite.
