Good News from Bulls Camp
As I watched the Bulls last season I wondered about Ben Gordon and what they kept saying about him: that the only reason he wasn't playing more or that he wasn't as good as he could be, was because his defense was suspect.

That was it. It was the only thing people agreed on that he wasn't very good at.

And I wondered, if I was a player, and I heard that kind of stuff. Well, I would want to hear it, for sure.

I wondered, if you're a player like that, in that situation, why wouldn't you go into the offseason and just work your ass off on that one thing that everyone agrees you don't have? Why not? Wouldn't that make you into an undiputably great player? Wouldn't it?

Athletes are primadonnas and they suck and they want more money and think they deserve it, blah blah blah - basically, they don't think as ligically as the fans would like.

But some do, and news from the Bulls camp so far tells us that Gordon isn't one of those guys. Skiles is impressed that it's exactly what he'd done - he's worked hard at it.

Can't wait to see it on the court.
