An Indianapolis high school phenom, Eric Gordon grew up wanting to play for IU. When Kelvin Sampson took charge in Bloomington it became a reality. Spurning Bruce Weber and Illinois, his time as a Hoosier began with controversy, only to end in more… the firing of his coach and the collapse of his team.
But when Eric Gordon was on the court, few to don the Candy Stripes ever did it better. Paired with DJ White, the Hoosiers were a force to be reckoned with, starting the season at 17-1 and ranked in the top ten. They had all the makings of a Final Four team.
Gordon dominated upon arrival, and didn’t even let a broken wrist derail his historic run, scoring an astounding 21 points a game on his way to winning Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
Gordon's brief but brilliant college career ended when he was drafted 8th by the LA Clippers, and has been making us proud ever since. Winning 6th Man of the Year and the All Star 3-point contest, he's averaged over 16 points a game during a 13-year NBA run that is still going strong.
Eric Gordon is one of the best basketball players to ever play for Indiana University. Period. Done. End of discussion.
