    All what was being written here is that he's interesting from a European standpoint. I mentioned the reasons in my last post. I honestly don't see what's wrong about that.
    I think you're both saying the same thing. Robbe, you're saying "every American is like Koufos," and Mavs is saying "Koufos is like every American."
    Besides, we could probably have a long, unproductive debate about what "being American" (and Greek, German, Italian and any other nationality) is. Fact is, he has a Greek passport.
    It's great that he has a Greek passport. I'd say he's a Greek-American player.
    "I really like the attitudes of eagles. They never give up. When they grab a fish or something else, they never let it go. It doesn't matter. In a book, they write they find a skeleton of [an] eagle and there is no fish. It means that the fish beat him and killed him, but he didn't let go." -- Donatas Motiejunas

      Highlights of Eric Gordon Jr from the North Central-Loyola game. Illinois fans probably shouldn't watch.


      Eric Gordon, super freshman. Highlights from 6 early games. These are only a few of the many highlights in this young man's career. Averaging 26 ppg (excl...

      He was also the 5th freshmen selected in the 2008 NBA Draft, and I think his game reminds me of an athletic version of Mitch Richmond.


      Eric Gordon destroying/Owning Michael Jordan's Kids ( Marcus and Jeffrey Jordan)




      The Knicks made a mistake by drafting Danilo Gallinari ahead of Eric Gordon, and this kid will fit perfectly in a Run and Gun Offense.

      Baron Davis, Eric Gordon, Al Thornton, and Chris Kaman = 2008 Version of the 1990's Golden State Warriors.

      Goodluck to Eric Gordon and the Los Angeles Clippers, i wish that Mike Dunleavy will give enough playing time in his rookie season.

        Clippers Sign Eric Gordon

        The Los Angeles Clippers today signed rookie guard Eric Gordon, the team’s first round selection (7th overall) in the 2008 NBA Draft, announced Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor.

        An explosive scorer and a dead eye outside shooter who leaves Indiana University after a successful freshman campaign, the 6’3” guard averaged 20.9 points for the Hoosiers en route to being named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

        A former Indiana Mr. Basketball, Gordon, led the Big Ten in scoring as a freshman and earned Second Team All-American Honors from the NABC and Third Team honors from the Associated Press as he established an Indiana and Big Ten freshman record with 669 total points, breaking the previous record held by Michael Redd from Ohio State and the Milwaukee Bucks.

        The Indianapolis native scored 20 or more points 19 times in 2007-08 and topped the 30-point mark three times, including a career-high 33 points in the season opener vs. Chattanooga, establishing an Indiana record for most points ever in a Hoosiers debut. Gordon, 19, was the 2007 Gatorade National Male Athlete of the Year as a senior, putting an exclamation mark on a standout career at North Central High School in Indianapolis.

        CLIPPERS GUARD ERIC GORDON:

        On his view of Los Angeles...
        "I really like the city, but I’m more of a Midwest type of guy. I’m just going to wait and see what L.A.’s all about when I move here."

        On his role on the team...
        "Depends on whether the coaches will be playing me as a point guard or shooting guard. It really all depends on whatever situation is right for me."

        On his specific goals for the season...

        "Well of course anybody would want to be on the All-Rookie team. It’s all about what happens on the court with your team. I would like to go to the playoffs and hopefully go to the Finals."

        On the Clippers organization...
        "This is where I thought I might be drafted at. It was definitely a high chance that I would be here. I know some players on the team and I am pretty familiar with them."

        On the Western Conference and his impact as a rookie...
        "Hopefully I’m somewhat of that missing piece. I like the chemistry the Clippers have. I think this is a great group to play with."

        CLIPPERS VICE PRESIDENT OF BASKETBALL OPERATIONS


        On Gordon's role on the team...

        "Eric has played point guard in both high school and college and we’ve watched him play some terrific basketball. He is very strong and big on the perimeter. He’s also an excellent ball handler."
