Every time Ben Gordon’s name pops up in the news, it’s never a good sign. Less than a month ago, the former NCAA champion (2004) was arrested for hitting his son at the airport.
On the night of Thursday to Friday, he was arrested in chicago, after punching two security guards from a McDonald’s, who were escorting him out of the establishment. The two victims did not need to go to the hospital, but Ben Gordon faces two counts of assault and battery.
A new incident which once again confirms the current state of distress of the former Bulls player.
Since his withdrawal from the prosecution in 2015, the 6th man of the year 2005 has experienced a terrible series of miscellaneous events in which he was involved: from his multiple arrests to the kidnapping of a woman, including a stay in a psychiatric hospital . The 39-year-old man, who had avoided prison in 2018, was also noted for having set off a fire alarm … without a proven fire, in his home in Los Angeles.
In 2020, he wrote a long letter in which he told how the end of his basketball career made him lose the only way to control his demons. By dragging it down.
