For Detroit Pistons guard Ben Gordon,
basketball is the only way out for a better life. Truly, Gordon belongs to the
blessed few that have the talents to excel in the sport's biggest stage. From his college days
with the University of Connecticut to being drafted third over-all in the 2004
rookie draft by the Chicago Bulls to one of the stalwarts in the rebuilding Pistons
squad, the 27-year old London-native has achieved fame and fortune by
displaying his wares in a major league sport.
“While sports has had a huge impact on my life, I do think too many
people view it as the only way to make it. The fact of the matter is everybody
isn’t blessed with athletic talent. There are definitely other ways to become
successful.”
