Career

Born and raised in Farmerville, which is part of the "Metropolitan Statistical Area" of the city of Monroe , Gipson moved to study in the neighboring state at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville , where he started his college basketball team in the Southeastern Conference in 1998 for the Razorbacks ( SEC) the NCAA played. The Razorbacks, still national champion in 1994 and runner-up in 1995, reached the national finals three times under coach Nolan Richardson in Gipson's time from 1999 to 2001 , where they were eliminated relatively early, and in 2000 they won the SEC championship tournament. The final season of Gipsons with the Razorbacks in 2002 was overshadowed by the sacking of the former successful coach Richardson, who had sidelined by controversial statements at a press conference.

In 2003 Gipson continued his professional career in the Netherlands and played for the Amsterdam Basketball Club (ABC), with which he was able to become Dutch cup winners and runner-up in the first season in 2004. In the following season you won the fifth championship for the club as Demon Astronauts under the Israeli coach Arik Shivek . At the end of the 2005/06 season, in which it was again possible to win the cup, the main sponsor got out after it was taken over by XS4ALL . Gipson moved to the German first division promoted Paderborn Baskets, whose coach Douglas Spradley had also started his professional playing career in Amsterdam. Contrary to some expectations, the newcomer was able to achieve a secure midfield position with 16 wins in 34 games in the 2006/07 season . Gipson took part in the BBL All-Star Game 2007 as a top performer of the team . After Tim Black's recovery , the club decided not to sign Gipson for the following season, and Gipson eventually returned to the ABC in Amsterdam, who had found a new main sponsor in MyGuide and won the following championships in 2008 and 2009. The 2008/09 season was overshadowed by the insolvency of the previous main sponsor, so that salaries were no longer paid on time. Gipson finally left the club at the end of the season, which ceased its professional game operations two years later.

For the 2009/10 season, signed a contract with Gipson Élan Béarnais from Pau in the French second division LNB Pro B . The nine-time French champion had previously been relegated and, with Gipson as the Pro B champion, managed to get promoted again immediately. Gipson was recognized as the best foreign player (" MVP étranger") this season in the Pro B. He was then banned for half a year because he had helped his teammate Orien Greene manipulate his doping test during his time in Amsterdam . Despite Gipson's suspension, the south-west French only narrowly missed the leap into the play-offs for the French championship after being promoted back to ninth in the main round . In the following season, team captain Gipson was also invited to the French all-star game of the Pro A. The team, however, achieved only seven wins in 30 games and was relegated as the penultimate. For the following season 2012/13 Gipson then returned to the German basketball league after he was signed by Brose Baskets from Bamberg, who had been German champions and cup winners in the three previous years . After he was only active in smaller club competitions of FIBA Europe , he will compete with the German club in the highest European club competition ULEB Euroleague 2012/13 . In February 2013, however, the premature separation between Gipson and Brose Baskets Bamberg took place due to different sporting expectations. He then returned to France in the LNB Pro A back to the promoted and first division returnees CSP Elite from Limoges . For the team, however, it was not enough to move into the play-offs for the championship and they only finished 13th under coach Panagiotis Giannakis .

At the beginning of the 2013/14 season Gipson signed a contract with the Bosnian double winner KK Igokea Aleksandrovac from the Opština Laktaši in the Republika Srpska . With this club he joined the Adriatic Basketball League (ABA League) also in the Eurocup 2013/14 , in which, however, after only three wins in ten preliminary round games, they were eliminated early. After defending his title in the Bosnian championship, in 2014 he switched to the Hungarian champion Szolnoki Olaj KK for the following season , who successfully defended the national double with Gipson , but made it into the final four in the ABA league 2014/15 in seventh place - Missed tournament. After Gipson returned briefly to KK Igokea in Bosnia at the beginning of 2016, he replaced Willie Deane at the French first division club Saint Thomas Basket from Le Havre in mid-March . After 16 years of first class, relegation to bottom of the table could no longer be avoided after only four wins this season.
