    On the mound:</p>

    Once his NBA career is over, Gooden wants a shot at the major leagues. Gooden, who worked out with former major league shortstop Barry Larkin in Orlando, Fla., two summers ago, wants to display his side-arm delivery.</p>

    "I'm serious," said Gooden, 26, who expects to retire from the NBA in about 10 years. "I'll be 35 or 36, but I'll have a fresh arm. I'm not talking about becoming a starter. I'll be a relief pitcher. I believe once I spend time working on it, I'll be able to do it."</p>

    Gooden, who competed against Indians pitcher C.C. Sabathia when they were growing up in the Bay Area, has not pitched competitively since early in high school.</div></p>

    LMAO that was great.</p>

    Anyone know if he has any relation to Doc Gooden? He was an amazing prospect before the drug abuse.</p>

    LeBron would have one more reason not to cheer for the Indians over the Yankees if Gooden was on their roster...</p>

    He really should have just made up some kind of relationship like Carter and T-Mac did.</p>
