NICKNAME/S: Gibbo
BIO: Adam Gibson was born in Launceston (TAS) and began playing basketball as a junior with the Launceston basketball program. Gibson received a scholarship to attend the Australian Institute of Sport (Canberra) in 2004. He spent one year there and played for the program’s state league team.
Adam Gibson made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 18 years of age. He scored two points in his first game.
In his rookie season with the Brisbane Bullets, Adam Gibson averaged 3.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists, helping the team finish with a 17-15 record. Brisbane secured sixth place but fell short in the elimination finals, losing to the Perth Wildcats (86-91). Despite the loss, Gibson’s potential as a solid role player became evident in his debut year.
2006/07 – THE GREATEST NBL TEAM OF ALL TIME?
The following season, the Bullets added star guard CJ Bruton and revamped their roster with players like Ebi Ere and Dusty Rychart. Despite a slow start, Brisbane went on an incredible 18-game winning streak to close the season, finishing first with a 28-5 record. Sam MacKinnon (18.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists) won both the MVP and Best Defensive Player awards, leading a star-studded team into the playoffs.

ADELAIDE 36ERS

Gibson joined the Adelaide 36ers in 2012 and quickly became a leader. In his first season, he averaged 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists, though the 36ers struggled, finishing last. However, with the arrival of coach Joey Wright in 2013, Adelaide turned things around, finishing second in 2013/14 and making it to the Grand Final. Gibson played a key role, averaging 12.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists that season.
Gibson continued to be a steady contributor, averaging 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in 2015/16, his final season with Adelaide, before moving on to Brisbane.

In 2018/19, he averaged 6.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while reaching a significant milestone, playing his 400th NBL game. Brisbane finished the season with a 14-14 record and advanced to the playoffs, where they were eliminated by Perth in the semifinals.
SOUTH EAST MELBOURNE PHOENIX
2019/20 – 2020/21
Gibson joined the South East Melbourne Phoenix for their inaugural season in 2019. Despite injuries limiting his time on the court, he contributed 6.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over 22 games in 2019/20. He saw less playing time in 2020/21, averaging 3.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists as the Phoenix reached the NBL playoffs for the first time, ultimately losing to Melbourne United in the semifinals.
