Bobcats guard Ben Gordon exhibited disruptive behavior during a shootaround Monday morning, increasing the team’s inclination to trade the nine-year veteran, reports Yahoo! Sports.
Coach Mike Dunlap asked Gordon to stop bouncing a ball while he was speaking, and Gordon began talking back to Dunlap, saying the coach need to “humble himself.” Gordon refused to return the ball to Dunlap and instead tossed it toward a ball rack. Bobcats GM Rod Higgins eventually intervened.
The Nets have expressed interest in Gordon, although they are wavering because they are uncertain Gordon can make a significant impact. Gordon, 29, is averaging 12.6 points and 2.2 assists per game thus far this season.
This is nothing new for Gordan, he exhibited the same kind of behavior in Chicago. He's a very good player, but he's never really been great, or at least as great as he thinks he is. And when he falters, it's always someone else's fault, the coach didn't give him enough minutes, he wasn't fed enough passes, he even complained about the fans not supporting him adequately.

LikeAmazing the kind of irreverance and hubris many of these athetes indulge in today. Gordon is a punk of long standing who has exhibited a**hole behavior many times in the past. Good riddance, moron, the Bobcats suck with you and can certainly suck without you.
