Comments on: Checking In With Charles: Free Agency, Chicks & Honkies http://sircharlesincharge.com/2009/07/02/checking-in-with-charles-free-agency-chicks-honkies/ A General NBA Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More Wed, 09 May 2012 22:52:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Drew http://sircharlesincharge.com/2009/07/02/checking-in-with-charles-free-agency-chicks-honkies/comment-page-1/#comment-70 Drew Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:32:04 +0000 http://sircharlesincharge.com/?p=182#comment-70 Half-assed agendas? Ben Gordon is a career .437 shooter and takes one shot for every two minutes he is on the court. These are facts. As previously stated, he has battled nagging injuries throughout his entire career (primarily wrist and leg ailments). This includes the Celtics series last season in which he was either questionable or doubtful for the last couple of games. I never compared him to players like Yao Ming or Jermaine O'Neal. I also never said he missed a lot of games. All I said was that he is injury-prone...which he is if you have followed the Bulls for any period of time. I give the guy props for playing through the pain, but I'm pretty sure that isn't going to happen with a guaranteed contract of $50+ million. Maybe he'll prove me wrong though... Half-assed agendas?

Don't let any facts get in the way of half-assed agendas contrived only because it looked cooler on paper though. Ben Gordon has missed 12 games in 5 seasons.
