Getting to know Eric Gordon

Clippers.com: What is your favorite moment in NBA history?

Eric Gordon: Well, because I’m from Indiana, I’d have to say when the Pacers were playing the Chicago Bull in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, and Reggie Miller hit that game winning shot over Michael Jordan during game three.


Would you say that you model your play after Jordan’s then?

EG: Well, not too much actually. I would say I most model my game more after guards like Gilbert Arenas (Washington Wizards) and Chauncey Billups (Denver Nuggets).


What did you think of the Training Center when you first arrived in LA?

EG: The Clippers’ Training Center is really nice. I went to a lot of different facilities before the draft when I was working out with different teams, and the Clippers’ facility is definitely the best one I’ve seen.


We know you go by EJ, but do you have any other nicknames that have stuck with you growing up?

EG: Well, yeah, a lot people call me EJ because my dad is also named Eric, but this team likes to call me The Hobbit. Iit’s funny, but they say it’s because Hobbits are supposed to have natural powers or something. Other than that, people like to call me E-money of EG.


We talked to Zach Randolph a few weeks ago, and he said that even though he was never named to it, he’s Indiana's real Mr. Basketball. What do you think about that?

EG: Oh man. Well, even though I was actually named Mr. Basketball, he did take Marion High School to the Indiana State Championship and won! I think Jared Jefferies was named Mr. Basketball that year, but Zach definitely deserved it after what he did. I guess we’ll say we technically share the title.

The good news is, this is lookin' like win #7.
The bad news is, it looks so much like win #7, it just might turn into loss #18.
We gotta play hard all night and put 'em away to avoid the upset!

With Sacramento winning last night and lifting their record to 7-18, we're last in the Pacific again. The Warriors lost last night, so they're tied with the Kings, 7-18. This means that a win tonight would skyrocket us above them to third place! Woo...it's the little victories you gotta root for sometimes.

Please Baron... Dont go 0-10 from 3pt tonight. Attack the rim and get to the foul line instead.
A nice line for Baron would be 15 pts 15 assists .

Marcus Camby is a beast !!! He just grabs rebounds all day.

Randolph has been amazing !

I agree with JJ. I hope our players don't get overconfident... Let's not forget OKC gave us a good fight for the first half during the first meeting.

Good luck boys, once you get your 2 players back from injury you guys will finish strong towards the end of the season.

I remember how we all thought that Memphis was a sure thing and we got blown out, let's not have the same type thing happen again. If we continue to play like we have been then we should be just fine.

Baron please just keep feeding Zbo, AL and Eric the rock all night. Plus, our leader(BD) must take only high percentage shots and stay away from "chucking" too much in the 3rd/4th qtrs.

Am I the only one who threw up in their mouth when they read that EJ was modeling his game after Gilbert Arenas?

It's on the original post ya dope. :P It's the "getting to know EJ" portion towards the bottom.

And yeah there seems to be a delay. :/ People who are looking at the boxscores... go away >.>

I didn't take the time to read EJ's thoughts. Looks like Green and Durant are the only offense for the Thunder right now. We're up 28-16 after 1
