Thanks to HoopsPerspectives.com who pointed out that Gilbert was interviewed on Sports Talk 980 for the John Thompson Show. Gilbert talks about his party, the Wizards, “the takeover”, “Hibachi”, his altitude chamber among many other things.

One of the most interesting parts of the interview is that the story about flipping a coin to determine between the Wizards and Clippers was made up just to be funny and for entertainment. He chose the Wizards because he kept hearing that he was a west coast kid and didn’t want to go East and he didn’t want to deal with the distractions in his hometown with friends and ticket requests.

Other tidbits:
- Didn’t touch a basketball until he was 12
- Doesn’t allow people over his house because all they want to see is the chamber
- Favorite player when growing up was Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, and once grown up – Penny Hardaway
- Has a son on the way
