Now I think there’s some kind of rule against being a student at Purdue and cheering for anyone affiliated with Indiana University but I’m going to have to fight the law on this one: Eric Gordon is Jewish.

Who knew? I mean we’ve got Red Auerbach and Larry Brown so we can coach, and then there’s David stern the head honcho of the NBA, but when is the last time there was a Jewish basketball player of note? Doug Gottlieb? Please. 1st of all the guy played at Notre Dame; 2) he got kicked out for stealing credit cards; 3) went on to play at Oklahoma State under the drunken slimeball that is Eddie Sutton; 4) he could NOT shoot free-throws. A point guard that couldn’t shoot free-throws! Seriously, he had to be taken out of games when opponents were in fouling situations. He shot 46% on FTs and 24% on 3 pointers. I’m not kidding.

Anyway, didn’t mean for this to become an “I hate Doug Gottlieb” post. Kol tuv to Gordon – he’s a likely lottery pick and should make a decent combo guard in the NBA…

And he shoots 83% from the free-throw line.
