Ben Gordon D-League Comeback

[Stainmaster]

It'd be really nice to see him regain a spot in the league. For local folks, if he is indeed claimed by Windy City, he'll be playing at the Barclays Center on February 1st and at the Westchester County Center on the 3rd and 4th.

With Ben at the NBA level it wasn't ever the offense that kept him on the pine.

Wish him well, he could probably still shoot 40% on 3's.

Considering he shot well under 40% from 3 in each of his last three seasons, that doesnt seem very likely.

Hope it's because he loves the game and not because of the almighty dollar.

I should qualify my statement as a motivated Ben Gordon. I think it's common knowledge he was cashing checks his last few seasons.

He always reminded me of Andrew Toney. Link provided for the young blood.

He looks like he's playing so effortlessly in that video. Not sure any of the shots they showed even grazed the rim.

I also kinda liked the annoucer's description -- he "crafts his way to the rim." Not sure I've ever heard that terminology before, but it sure looked fitting.

I've used that same comparison too.

In terms of cashing checks, some fun numbers: Ben got paid about $113,000 per game for 744 games played. Based on minutes played, he made $249,000 an hour.

He could be used off the bench for a contender if he proves to knock down 3's. But he looks really good there, possibly a bigger role. One step at a time!

Ben looks good . Maybe the "whining " would stop if Cleveland picked him up.

I was just thinking this. He could easily be the veteran play maker of the bench the Cavs need

One of my top 5 Huskies of all time
Man I miss this guy
His performance at the BE tourney finals in 2004 is something I will never forget

Mine too. I was at Gampel Saturday and reminded of the fact that Ben isn't in the Husky Ring of Honor. Rudy was there two years and despite an All American honor, his overall career wasn't comparable to Ben's. Does anyone have any insight on why BG isn't in? This is a travesty.

Pretty sure there are already plans to honor him. Believe it's similar to caron where they are just trying to have the schedule align so he can be there

 

[Kembacity]

Go Benny G!!!!

I'd have no problem rooting for the Cavs if he was out there bombing 3s

Align to what? The guy was off for a year and a half?

Agreed, it seems weird that Ben Gordon has been Huskies of Honor in waiting for 5 years now

Before Kemba and Shabazz, Ben was easily my favorite Husky of all-time. I have no hops but I always tried to emulate his terrific elevation on his jumpshot. He had the total package, if he was 6'5 instead of 6'1 or 6'2 I believe he'd be a HOF candidate. Could elevate, drive, dish, shoot. Wish he had been a bit more motivated, but I don't remember his pro stuff, will always consider 2004 my favorite Husky team ever. Other than the Dook game, it was very little stress on a UConn worry-wort like me!!!

Your handle is rip but your all-time favorite is Bazz, Kemba, preceeded by Ben??

Couple 20+ point games in a row for Ben Gordon, including 25 points last night against Daniel Hamilton's team.

Wish CT could score a D league team.
