Eric Gordon

Eric Gordon is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the Phoenix Suns of the NBA. Born in Indianapolis, Gordon picked up basketball at a very young age. In high school, he was named Indiana Mr. Basketball in his senior season while playing at North Central High School.

Gordon was one of the most sought-after talents from his batch. A unanimous five-star recruit, Gordon was wanted by almost every top program in the country. He committed to playing for Indiana University in the end.

Gordon played just one season with Indiana and was considered one of the top 10 college players for that season. He finished his freshman season averaging 21.5 points, the highest in the Big Ten and 19th in the nation. After his freshman season, Gordon declared for the 2008 NBA Draft.

Gordon was drafted seventh overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2008 NBA Draft. His offensive prowess soon came to light on a national stage as, despite his shorter stature, Gordon proved time and again that he could score with the best of them.

Gordon played for the Clippers for three seasons before being traded to the New Orlean Pelicans in a massive trade involving Chris Paul. It was in New Orleans that Gordon blossomed as a player. He was their second-leading scorer after Anthony Davis and the ball was regularly put in his hand when the game was in a precarious situation.

After spending five seasons with the Pelicans, Gordon was traded to the Houston Rockets where he was paired with superstar guard James Harden. Here, Gordon’s game completely transformed as he became a spot-up shooter for the most part while James Harden ran the team’s offense.

Now playing alongside superstars Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal in Phoenix, Gordon will be hoping for a deep postseason in 2024.
