Ben Gordon appeared on the Waddle and Silvy show on ESPN 1000 today, to talk about him becoming a Detroit Piston. Here is a recap of what he had to say.
* He is happy about the situation he’s going into. Joe Dumars is really focused on winning and his priority is winning a championship. That’s also Ben’s main goal as a player.
* He first knew he was going to sign with the Pistons right after he met with Dumars. Dumars exuded winning, and everything he talked about was building a team to win a championship. Dumars convinced Ben pretty easily to sign, and it was a no brainer to sign with the Pistons.
* The Bulls didn’t pursue him at all, they didn’t even make an offer. It was pretty much a one team race.
* On whether the Bulls were lying when they said it was a top priority to re-sign him, Ben said that it is what it is. There was no offer made. You have to put it together.
* He felt that he always got a lot of love and respect from the fans that really followed the games. When walking down the street, people always showed him love.
