You need to read what I wrote.
and in his best seasons- he's a borderline all-star.
In 2006-2007, he was a borderline all-star along with Deng. In his best seasons he's a borderline all-star.
Borderline all-star, meaning - not an all-star, but on the border in his best seasons. Which last year was not one of them.
As for his defense, there's lots on guys who have made NBA all-star teams that don't play defense very well.
As for him chucking up too many shots...the most shots he's taken per game in his career is 16.3, last year he had a career low of 11.3.
In that year he took 16.3, his borderline all star season, he shot 45% from the field and 41% from threes. That's damn good. So I'll take that type of chucking, if that's what you want to call it. I'll call it scoring at a pretty good clip.
The problem with that^ is that Gordon was never a borderline all-star. In order to be a borderline all-star, you need to be in the discussion to be in the all-star game. Gordon never was in that discussion outside of biased Chicago fans...
He wasn't that good. Not horrible. Just not very good.
