He Was An UNGUARDABLE Shooter... Until His Mind BETRAYED HIM

Dude was a straight assassin and so fun to watch. That playoff series when he and Ray went head to head was probably the most entertaining and enjoyable thing I have ever seen watching the NBA.
I honestly forgot how amazingly skilled and clutch he was back then and maybe if his knees held up things could have gone differently for him. Hope he is able to continue to improve his mental health and accept the support he has been getting.
 
His career was basically over when he left the Bulls at 26 years old. He started playing for the Bulls almost exactly at the same time I moved to Chicago and I went to a lot of games during his years with the Bull, basically to watch him. He was incredibly clutch and dynamic shooting from beyond the arc. He would go on serious heaters often in the fourth quarter. He wasn't good finishing at the rim and it led to him basically being an iso guy who would create threes and jumpers/floaters for himself.

It sadly didn't end well for the Bulls or for Ben. He left for the same amount of money the Bulls were offering him but he felt like the Bulls didn't appreciate him. He ended up hurting his ankle that season with the Pistons and his career never got back on track.
 
My memory never serves me correctly as far as just how talented he really was. The video is an eye opener every time. He was incredible shooting over people, creating off the dribble and getting to the hoop. His touch was elite, even for a pro.
