<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Just a few seasons ago, it seemed that the odds were always against the Bulls to win a close game in the closing minutes. Clutch baskets were tough to find, silly mistakes were made and breaks just didn?t go Chicago?s way. Things have changed. Need 22 points in the fourth quarter at Charlotte? No problem. Looking for an improbable last second shot at Madison Square Garden for the win? Done and done. Those were only a few of Ben Gordon's accomplishments in an unprecedented rookie season in which he delivered double digit scoring efforts in the final frame an absurd 21 times (only LeBron, Kobe and Arenas did it more). But even Gordon acknowledges that he needs to get better, and by better, that means more consistent. Gordon, who sat down with Bulls.com after a recent workout, stresses that getting a quick start in 2005.06 and spreading out his game over all four quarters are among his top priorities. Tell me a little about your upcoming reality show on MTV, in which you lead a team of New York amateurs against Andre Iguodala?s Chicago squad. Ben Gordon: Every summer, Nike has something they call Nike Battlegrounds. This year?s theme was the Chicago and New York rivalry and what they did was pretty cool. They picked me to be the GM/coach of the New York team with me being from there, and Andre Iguodala, who is from Illinois, is in charge of the Chicago team. There were about 500 kids who tried out, and the footage they taped includes the tryouts, us cutting the teams down to the final ones, the practices, and following some of the kids around their neighborhoods to show the kind of lifestyle they live. The game itself was in Akron, Ohio, and LeBron James hosted it. It was really cool. I think MTV is going to do about six episodes starting in late August. So you had a pretty active role throughout it all? Definitely, they took a lot of footage of me in the gym with the kids and it was a lot of fun helping them work on their game. I got really animated once the game started?it was kind of wild. I was all over the court and stuff like that, just having some fun. It was good experience for a lot of kids who were able to come out and represent their city.</div> <div align="center">Source </div> Someone tell me this man is not a monster. He is doing an incline set in one of the pictures with 100-pound dumbbells. I do the same thing with 50 pounds and it is tough as hell. He is really strong for a player his size. Damn.
Awesome interview. This guys a beast, hes one of the smaller players in the NBA and is very strong. I hope he has a great season next year with increased playing time.
