He was a solid 18-20 point scorer in his prime and a good three point shooter for Chicago before the Rose era. I'm surprised he isn't making an impact in the league. SMH.

When he was hitting clutch shots for Chicago in the playoffs.

He was big in that 7 game series against the Celtics. Him vs Ray Allen, it was clutch shot after clutch shot
Unless I'm mistaken and it was someone else.

The big contract he got from...the Pistons? And then his dropoff for the money he was being paid.

Yup. That was him. Salmons was big in one game too, IIRC. I wouldn't mind taking him back for cheap. I'm sure he can still shoot.

Re: What happened to Ben Gordon (AKA Kobe-lite)?
I never heard anyone call this guy Kobe-lite. Ben Gordon should have stayed in Chicago. However, he wanted his money and went to Detroit and fell off. Ended up in Charlotte as a bench warmer before getting waived. Last I've read, he is being waived by the Magic. So yeah, this guy will be out of the league soon. Just another classic example of a guy getting that big pay day and not really going 100% at his craft anymore. That and I read something about an injury that might have held him back. Who knows.

Ben Jordan. He got paid and then he became a scrub. Didn't help the fact he was on the mess the Pistons were.

Also heard a rumor that the dude is a locker room cancer, and wasn't getting along well with the coaching staff while he was in Charlotte. A lot of folks were surprised that he got that contract from Orlando 2 years ago.

He sucked on the magic and they thankfully released him
