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

[RuffRuff]

I love what Ben brought to the program as much as any Yarder but no player in NBA history has ever make the Hall of Fame without being an all-star. Even at his peak he was a mediocre defender who was never among the NBA's best players, so to suggest five more years of prime Gordon would make him Hall-worthy is borderline silly.

It's also a far cry from being "...the basketball version of Timmy Linecum" who was a four-time all-star and winner of two Cy Young awards before injuries caught up with him – an important part of the statement that you conveniently left out.

TC also won 2 CY's, and was part of 3 WS teams.

Not even sure how this is a convo - BG is not even with a sniff of the HOF. He's a great part of Uconn lore, but a JAG at the NBA level.

I may be too much of a fan boy but 10 years in the league is hardly a “waste of talent.”

You don’t get the nickname Madison Square Gordan without reason.
