WTF is going on with Ben Gordon? Sounds like the guy has completely lost it... :noway:

https://nypost.com/2017/11/20/former-nba-star-ben-gordon-is-arrested-during-nyc-traffic-stop/

Former NBA star Ben Gordon was arrested during a car stop in Manhattan Sunday night for driving with a forged license plate, police said.

The one-time Sixth Man of the Year was pulled over near the corner of West 129th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard around 9 p.m.

During the stop, the officer ran the car’s Florida license plate and noticed the registration expiration date was different than what was displayed on the vehicle.

Gordon, 34, was arrested and given a desk appearance ticket, meaning he will have to go to court to settle the matter in the near future, officials said.

Gordon, who last played for the Dallas Mavericks’ minor league affiliate earlier this year, was arrested two other times this year.

In October, he was arrested after barricading himself inside a Mount Vernon store he owns during a clash with a woman.

Police had to free the woman by cutting a hole in a window and later found Gordon hiding in the bathroom with a knife.

Gordon was also arrested in June for pulling fire alarms in his Los Angeles apartment after police responded to the call but found no fire.

When Gordon failed to appear in court at his arraignment later that month, the judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest.

The fact that you can’t interpret what he meant says everything we need to know about your agenda.

But then again your the same dude who can’t handle yourself when KP and Ntilikina aren’t in the game together so you spam the GT with put in Frank posts. Just shut up.

If Lonzo Ball was handsome and could shoot, he'd be called Luka Doncic.

I heard he was diagnosed with undersized combo guard syndrome.

Is it implausible to say the 76ers already have 2 of the top 25 players in the NBA?

Not taking into account future productivity. Just straight up having the skill set/impact right now to be top 25. Cause I think so.

They could have had Embiid, KP, Simmons, and Tatum if they played their cards right.

It goes to show you, tanking may give you the BEST opportunities available in the lottery but in the draft you STILL have to choose the right shell with the ball underneath when playing the shell game of 3.

I mean, people STILL torture themselves with the possibility of the Knicks drafting Jokic. He's come back down to Earth. Remember last season where some of us speculated whether or not Jokic was a better athlete?

Jokic 15 ppg 11.6 rpg 0.6 bpg

Porzingis 27.8 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 2.3 bpg

Both guys have big impact on their teams but it's clear Porzingis has the higher ceiling, so NO...the Knicks DID draft the RIGHT guy.

Just wanted to point out that

porzingis and jokic were in different drafts. We could've drafted jokic over early lol

We did draft the right guy with porzingis but imagine having both lol

Dont let numbers fool you, its too early to say who has a higher ceiling. Jokic is a great passer too. CP3 is gone from the rockets, harden puts up 30 and 10. DLO has been hurt 5 games and in that time spencer dinwiddie has 22/7/4 a game. Westbrook averaged a 30 pt triple double last year and is now averaging much less. Jimmy butlers scoring dropped, could go on and on. More touches = better stats. KP has been making good use of his touches, but Jokic definitley has a refined all around game
