CLEVELAND, Ohio – Daniel "Boobie" Gibson, best known for being buddy-buddy with LeBron James during his seven seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers is done being a player in favor of being a "playa."

Gibson joined Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" radio show in New York City Friday morning to announce he was leaving the NBA to pursue a career as a rapper.
To be clear, Gibson hasn't played in the NBA since a stint with the Cavs during the 2012-2013 season. Thus, some people on Twitter are suggesting the NBA actually quit Gibson before he could quit the NBA.
"I'm gonna give up my NBA career to start rapping," Gibson said on air. The response from "The Breakfast Club" host Charlamagne Tha God was somewhat comical:
"Who you think a better rapper, you or Birdman?" Charlamagne asked Gibson.
Gibson then dropped some lyrics that were more of a spoken word: "My biggest competition is reflection."
Some funny twitter reaction at the end of the article, but not posting it here.
Hilarious he feels the need to say he's leaving the NBA considering he hasn't had a job since Cleveland.
