Taj Gibson Retires, Joins Bulls Coaching Staff
The 41-year-old forward ends a 17-season, 1,012-game NBA career and becomes an assistant on Chicago's staff under Thiago Splitter.
The Bulls took the 41-year-old Forward with the 26th pick of the 2009 draft, and it is back in Chicago that his career ends. Gibson also played for Oklahoma City, Minnesota, New York, Washington, Detroit, Charlotte and Memphis, finishing with 1,012 NBA appearances. He featured in 10 games for the Grizzlies this past season.
Across his career Gibson averaged 8.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in 22.9 minutes a game — a role player's numbers, built on 17 years of staying on rosters rather than headline seasons.
