NBA Baller Ben Gordon's Backup Plan: Barney's Creative Director

Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon, one of the standout players in the NBA, goes from making some rather suggestive moves on-the-court to making some moves behind the scenes in the fashion industry. Gordon is well-known for his tasteful fashion aesthetic and gets his fashionista on for ESPN: The Magazine. The baller spends the day and camps it up with Simon Doonan, the Barney's creative director and husband to designer and Bravo personality Jonathan Adler.

"I have a European fashion sense," Gordon tells Doonan. "I love the fine tailoring and the fit."

AFTER THE JUMP, via Rod 2.0 reader FF, watch the video and a few more photos. And despite the many  stereotypes, how freakin' cool is it that a black professional ball player appreciates fashion and can glam and camp it up with fashion's power gays?

Bulls' Ben Gordon Celebrates Three-Pointer with Crotch Grab

Bulls guard Ben Gordon scored 22 points in Game 4 against the Boston Celtics. Most impressive was the clutch 26-foot three-pointer at the end of the first overtime. That saved the Bulls from falling down 3-1 to the Boston Celtics in their best-of-seven series.

As incredible as that shot was, it is what the strapping, 6-4 muscular did afterward that is making news: Grabbed his crotch not once but several times. Oh and there was plenty to grab, too. The crotch grab was edited or deleted in replays and could soon disappear from YouTube.
