Gottlieb’s season with the Storm would be successful as he led the USBL in assists and helped the Storm to a 2nd-place finish in the team’s inaugural season (losing to the Dodge City Legend in the USBL Championship Game). Gottlieb then had to take his basketball career overseas, which included a stop in Israel after signing with Maccabi Ra’anana. Gottlieb played internationally at the professional level in France, Russia and Israel.

The Idaho Stampede of the Continental Basketball Association signed Gottlieb on Nov. 28, 2000, prior to training camp and then released him on Dec. 13, 2000, two days before their opening game.
