3. Ben Gordon
Ben Gordon played with the Chicago Bulls for the first five seasons of his career (also the best five), where he averaged 18.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game on 43.7 percent shooting from the field and 41.5 percent shooting from 3-point range.
The dude was an absolute sniper before being a good 3-point shooter was cool. He’s currently sitting at no. 2 all-time in 3-pointers made for the Chicago Bulls.
He also made it clear back in 2017 that he can still play.
Happy birthday to @NBA vet and @TexasLegends Guard Ben Gordon!

Gordon is undersized for a 2-guard in today’s NBA but that doesn’t mean he can’t play in the BIG3. He’s a flat-out scorer and would thrive in a league where there are 4-point shots. I mean, can you imagine?
As a Bulls fan who watched many games in that Ben Gordon era, I would be extremely excited about the possibility of him making a national T.V. comeback against other former NBA stars.
