Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - BEN GORDON- Just gotta say something.

He plays for another team. I have no problem with the fans booing him. It wasn't like he was one of their all time greats. Scottie or Mike getting booed would have been wrong.

FUCK everyone who booed you last night. that was completely uncalled for, stupid, and just plain mean.

its obvious you left on good terms. business is business and the nba is cutthroat, things just didnt work out- so what.

WE DO LOVE YOU MAN. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR TEAM! and get off the pistons... you belong in san antonio or something...

screw Ben Gordon. We never won anything with him.

the only thing is i thought he wanted so badly to bea starter and that was one of his main beefs with the bulls? why is he on a bad detroit team coming off the bench now?

Ben Gordon will never be leader or even second banana on a good team. He is what he is: A streaky shooter who can be great in the clutch, and can shoot you out of games when he's not running good. He also is a horrendous defender and did not deserve the money he got from detroit or what the Bulls were offering. He would be a good 6th man on a contender. He has no business carrying a team.

Gordon's nut grab in game 4 of the playoffs last year is in my top 5 athlete nut grabs of all time. And I was there to witness it in person. Im glad they didn't resign him, but he doesn't deserve to get booed. If the crowd should be booing anybody, it is Ben Wallace. That jackass destroyed an up and coming team and almost single-handedly dismantled it.

completely agree douchebag. city of fools, you are a gay burrito and yeah, i dont really like when pro athletes show off or brag, but that nutgrab might have been the best ever. it was a complete, total instinctive reaction. you could tell that was the shot he has thought about his entire life... it was so awesome.

Scottie or Mike getting booed would have been wrong. that makes no sense. boo someone if they leave on bad terms. someone who burns your team and leaves the bridge collapsed. gordon did none of that. he played to his ability, and he NEVER wanted to leave chicago. THE BULLS FORCED HIM OUT.

We never won anything with him. My thoughts exactly. He could have re-signed the year before, but he turned the contract down.

i think he shouldve gotten cheered when he first came in the game and then booed like an enemy after that. he didnt do anything to deserve being booed except maybe lead the bulls in scoring his entire career. the bulls didnt want to pay him what he thought he deserved so he left. what athlete doesnt in this day and age? the only thing is i thought he wanted so badly to bea starter and that was one of his main beefs with the bulls? why is he on a bad detroit team coming off the bench now?

Put the pipe down. I agreed with you yesterday, if you look like 5 posts above, you will see it.
