The Orlando Magic signed Ben Gordon to a two-year, $9 million deal back in July. Gordon says that after trudging through three bad seasons with the Detroit Pistons, and two more with Charlotte Bobcats, he’s ready to resuscitate his career .
The 31-year old veteran shooting guard believes he can provide leadership in the young Magic locker room. Per the Orlando Sentinel:
“I definitely look at this [as an] opportunity to [re-establish] myself and definitely help with the younger group of guys and try to just share what I can with them on how to win,” Gordon said Tuesday.
“It never really went anywhere,” Gordon answered when asked whether he has regained his shooting stroke over the last few months. “It’s just a matter of being consistent, making sure your touch is always right and just trying to stay in a good rhythm.
“Hopefully, it’ll carry over into the season.”
He was so much fun on the Bulls.. weren’t people saying he was like a baby MJ? I’m guessing that was tongue in cheek for most people
I’m excited for the Magic this year. Young team with little expectation on their shoulders, should make for some fun basketball.
Man I miss the Bulls/Celtics series where Gordon and Rose were taking on that whole C’s team.
air gordon
keep getting them checks! have a couple of good years and get over payed one more time
(he was one of my favorites when he came into the league)
His only relation to MJ was in his near homonymous last name.
For a good 2-3 year run this dude’s jump shot was borderline insane. Wish him the best and a healthy season!
All the respect to that guy. It takes a lot to challenge RayRay 7 consecutive games. Hope he is having a solid and healthy season!
“weren’t people saying he was like a baby MJ”
At least they had the baby part right.
There was nothing “MJ” about Gordon’s game.
Dis guy still in the league?
so many ray allen vs. ben gordon shootouts.
