Eric Gordon (no. 45) hasn't had a happy basketball experience since high school (it's true)

that about sums it up...

I don't know. He seemed pretty happy to be a Hoosier. Heck, he STILL seems happy to have been a Hoosier. :hihi:

Besides, I don't think he's saying anything about Gordon that hasn't already been said. He is what he is.

GROUP K: "No Thanks — We Don't Want Him to Come Back and Haunt Us"

50. Greivis Vasquez
Whoops, too late for Vasquez and the Grizzlies! A short list of Vasquez's accomplishments in the last eight months: won the undisputed "best Venezuelan basketball player ever" title (supplanting the immortal Oscar Torres); finished second for the assists title and dished out the most assists (704); won my vote for Most Improved Player; turned "Pondexter straight up for Vasquez" into one of the sneakier one-sided NBA trades of the 21st century; served as a decoy/distraction for that ghastly Austin Rivers pick;12 and replaced Dwyane Wade as the quality NBA player with the most frequently misspelled name.

Put it this way: If you Google "Austin Rivers" and "worst NBA season ever," multiple results come up.

Because ESPN had an article in December titled "Is Austin Rivers having the worst season ever?".

Eric Gordon is not worth the money he is getting paid.

Gordon wasn't happy with the game winner against Phoenix? The bank against Dallas? The Suns max offer and Hornets match?

It ain't been all roses but he ain't weeping either.

Eric Gordon...could be a top 5 sg if he stayed healthy. Sums it all up.

That's not Gordon fault and its definitely not a reason to be unhappy.

should have been a statement rather than a question

I hope he stays and helps the Pelicans win.

We will give you Gordon, Aminu , and Rivers for Chris Paul?

Rivers did have the worst season ever by a rookie....or human.

Eric Gordon in 1 sentence: Puddin.
