Former NBA Star Ben Gordon Completely Lost It & Was Hospitalized In A Psychiatry

Do you remember Ben Gordon? He became the first rookie in NBA history to win the Sixth Man Of The Year Award. He averaged over 20 points per game for two seasons. There was a time when he was deadly from three. He had games with 9 made threes and 45 points. He last played for the Orlando Magic during the 2014-15 season, but ever since he left Chicago in 2009, his career was going downhill. Last season, he played for the Texas Legends in the D-League, but his plan to be picked up by an NBA team failed.

Then, earlier this year, Ben Gordon was arrested, after freaking out at his apartment complex and pulling multiple fire alarms. It seems as Ben Gordon has completely lost it now, as he was hospitalized after yet another strange incident.

Ex-NBA star Ben Gordon was sending threatening videos to people in the days before a violent standoff with a woman in his NY gym … TMZ Sports has learned.

FYI, Gordon was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation over the weekend after cops responded to his business, Of Our Own — a sports rehab and recovery center.

According to the police report, Gordon’s girlfriend claimed Ben had locked her in the gym — and was going berserk with a blade. Cops eventually went inside the gym, found Gordon in the bathroom and took him into custody. He was then transported to a nearby hospital.
