What happened: The league resurfaced Gibson's 2017 one-handed shot from beyond half court, a play that came after an inbound steal with 2.8 seconds left in the first half. The salute arrived a day after Gibson announced his retirement, ending a 17-season NBA career.

Why it matters: The moment extends the farewell around a longtime veteran whose playing career ended this week. It also bridges directly into his next chapter after Gibson retired after 17 seasons and joined the Bulls staff.

What to watch: Watch for Gibson's formal start in his new staff role as teams move toward 2026-27 camp preparations. More league and team tributes could follow this week.
