Ben Gordon Talks NBA & London, England!

How's it going WORLD?!!

You know, it's hard enough to be a rookie in the NBA, but for a guy to win the Sixth Man of the Year Award in his first season, that's quite a feat. Well, we interviewed a man who accomplished that back in the 2004-05 campaign. Yes, Mr. Ben Gordon is in the house!!

The former NCAA Champion with UCONN will discuss his sharp-shooting days with the Chicago Bulls, why his current team, the Detroit Pistons, were a big disappointment in 2009-10 and what hot spots Audley and I should check out in his home town of London, England!

In addition to Ben, what if I told you, we had the little brother of ex-Golden State Warrior, Sacramento King and 1995 NBA All-Star Game MVP winner, Mitch Richmond, who is also...

...the cousin of 3-time NBA Finals MVP, Shaquille O'Neal, on the show?

Well, it's true, we do! His name is Michael O'Neal and he'll give us some insight on the perks of being linked to big brother, Mitch and cousin Shaq plus he'll talk about what he's doing to make a name for himself outside the shadow of his famous relatives.

You can connect with Michael on Twitter.

Alright, that's it for now, we'll catch up with you Sunday at 9pm ET!!
