Benjamin Ashenafi Gordon, born on April 4, 1983, is a British-American former professional basketball player who made a significant impact during his 11 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Gordon first gained national attention during his college career at the University of Connecticut, where he played a pivotal role in leading the Huskies to a national championship in 2004. His ability to score from the perimeter and his clutch performances in high-pressure situations made him a standout player, setting the stage for his successful transition to the NBA.

Gordon was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the third overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, and he quickly made history by becoming the only player to win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award as a rookie. Known for his sharpshooting and ability to come off the bench and provide instant offense, Gordon became a key contributor for the Bulls. He ranks third in career three-point field goals for the franchise, trailing only Kirk Hinrich and Zach LaVine. His scoring prowess and consistency from beyond the arc made him one of the most dangerous shooters in the league during his prime.

One of Gordon's most notable achievements is his share of the NBA record for most three-point field goals made in a game without a miss, hitting nine in a single contest. He shares this record with Latrell Sprewell and Jalen Brunson, further solidifying his reputation as a lethal shooter. Throughout his career, Gordon was known for his ability to perform in clutch moments, often stepping up in critical situations to lead his team to victory. His time with the Bulls, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Bobcats, and Orlando Magic showcased his versatility and scoring ability.

Gordon's legacy in the NBA is defined by his scoring ability, particularly from long range, and his role as one of the league's premier sixth men during his career. His contributions to the game, both as a starter and off the bench, have left a lasting impact on the teams he played for and the fans who watched him. His achievements, including his unique Sixth Man of the Year honor as a rookie, continue to be celebrated by basketball enthusiasts.
