Ben Gordon - an 11 year NBA veteran player is eyeing a comeback. Gordon will be playing for the Great Britain this year, helping the team to the qualifying games for Eurobasket 2017. Since Gordon is eyeing a comeback to the NBA, playing for the Great Britain will serve as his way to show the scouts that he still an elite player that he used to be.
In an interview with the ESPN, Gordon said that he would definitely love to make a comeback to the NBA. Gordon also mentioned that he is consistently watching the current NBA games the way it is being played today. He noticed that the 3 points are now playing a big factor ever than before and pointed out that he can still play at a high level since his shooting stroke is still there and never left him.
Ben Gordon was drafted 3rd by the Bulls in the NBA Draft last 2004. Finishing his rookie season with 15.1 points per game and became a part of the core of the team due to his prolific scoring ability. After 5 seasons with the Bulls, Gordon signed with the Pistons and continue playing as a sixth-man coming from the bench.
Gordon was traded to the Bobcats during the 2012 off-season, since then his game stats declines that resulted for him to be waived by the Bobcats in 2014. He was last seen playing for the Magic but was also waived after a 2015 season.
Gordon had a chance to play for the Warriors, last year's off-season, he even played two of the 10 pre-season games after being waived.
Known to be the first rookie player to win a sixth-man award, Gordon is a well-rounded shooting guard, an outside perimeter threat that can give the opponent a lot of pressure when it comes to crunch time since he is capable of nailing a deadly winning shot. An NBA comeback would be a great idea and surely those NBA fans will want to watch him back on the court.
