Video: It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, Ben Gordon

By J.E. Skeets

According to WikiAnswers, the best way to say goodbye to someone you love is to tell them that your mom is making pot roast for dinner and that you have to go. Of course, your loved one will be like, "No, please don't go," but then you just cry a little and say, "I'm sorry, this is the way it has to be; these are out final goodbyes."

Or, you know, create for them a creepy goodbye video with funky techno beats. Whatever works, really.

Cheers, Motown String Music.

    Wow, that is both creepy and pretty damn funny.
    Gordon's shot is amazing. I might go so far to say that his jumper is sweeter than Ray Allen's. I know, I know, I'll probably be in the minority on that, but I like the position of Gordon's left hand over Ray's, and Gordon's got more arc than Ray, releasing at the peak of a pretty good jump -- he's got some serious elevation when he shoots. Pretty.

    That isn't to say that Ray's shot is anything but sweet, though:

    Hmm, they both get the left hand off right away. Gordon's right arm goes almost straight up. Crazy arc.
    I'm done talking to myself now.

    That ally-oop he caught over the cavs player (newble?, dudley?) was pretty nice. No coincidence he didnt have many defensive plays in that highlight package though.

    also he's not reporting crap. He's blogging about basketball related stories. If it's reporting you want look up AP or Reuters or something. Blogging is mostly opinionated material or topic of discussion.

    Too bad the bulls lost him and took a step back losing him, he is there only big shot maker w/o him last year they would have lost in 5.
    Dumb ass bulls why wouldnt you re-sign you best shooter and scoring from the perimeter, now they have to put the ball in salmons hands and watch him dribble around to take a contested jumper.
