Ben Gordon Accepts Deal & Marbury Out










I know it's football season but basketball season is right around the corner. Me being the female b-ball fan that I am here's some news for you. Chicago's Ben Gordon who's a restricted free agent reluctantly signs $6.4M deal for 1-year with Bulls. His hopes of a long term contract never panned out and the idea of playing overseas was rejected. Native of Mt. Vernon, NY and one of the star players who led UConn to the NCAA Final 4 Championship in 2004 in my opinion never really showcased his talent at the next level. Well Ben, keep your head up.

In other news, Stephon Marbury was released from the NY Knicks last week and paid $21M, the worst in Knick history. It's time to grow up Stephon. Get a grip and keep it moving. Another native New Yorker from Coney Island, I grew up watching him play in high school. A waste of talent because he can't keep his ego in check!

And for all you Lakers fans, Kobe bragging already. Stay tuned. More to come...
