Charlotte Bobcats Ben Gordon: What Happened to Him?

Charlotte Bobcats guard Ben Gordon was once considered a dangerous guard in the NBA. He was a player that would come off the bench in Chicago and scorch his opponents and hit the big shots to help his club win. Now he is just a player that’s in the midst of him prime and isn’t getting it done with the Bobcats.

With the contract that the Detroit Pistons gave him in 2009 worth $55 million, 5 years it has showed to be a bad one that the Charlotte Bobcats are paying for today; such a sad story for a player for that has so much potential and was a premier sharp shooter.

Now Gordon has that label that players hate to be connected with and that “overpaid”. Is he overpaid? I would say most definitely. When the Pistons got him he had a successful run with the Chicago Bulls but a 5 year deal for that kind of money for some one that comes off the bench is a bit absurd.

It really doesn’t help as well that the Bobcats are stinking up the joint and can’t get any wins. This team is so bad I barely know who’s on the team. So you get the point what I’m saying. Owner Michael Jordan has a lot of work ahead of him this offseason.

It’s pretty hard for Gordon or any player on the team to have any laughable or enjoyable moments while losing. So I can see where the unhappiness with Gordon comes from and see how he’s changing right in front of our eyes. But you’re a professional and you still have to go out there and give the fans what they’ve paid for.

Gordon was already in the news earlier this month for his spat with Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap. It’s very unfortunate to hear Gordon being connected to any kind of bad behavior because that hasn’t been a part of his career in the NBA. He’s always been known as the quiet guy in the league.

Where do you think Ben Gordon’s career will go from here?
