Slam Mag: Eric Gordon (Finally Famous)

While many observers referred to the "Clippers curse" continuing in the form of Kyrie Irving—the Clips’ mid-season trade with the Cavs that brought Mo Williams to L.A. and sent Baron Davis to the Cavs came at the cost of what became the No. 1 Draft pick—Gordon sees it as a blessing in disguise, giving him the freedom to play both on and off the ball because of Mo’s spot-up shooting ability.

"We are interchangeable, and I’m more of a playmaker, so I definitely like having the ball in my hands," says Gordon. "I should be able to play the 1 and the 2."

And I had wondered this just last night...

…Just how serious was the “Baron Davis” issue with Gordon? What was it? What did Baron say or do? I’m sure we can all throw our opinions out there based on deductive reasoning, but I sure am interested in facts. It would be nice to get a more direct scoop or an insiders perspective.

Great article

EJ is no longer under the radar which could not come at a better time for him with his RFA contract coming up. I must say as tough as he tries to look in the picture it just does not work-it’s just not in his DNA. Great player/great kid.
