In the interview with Slam’s Ben Collins, Ben Gordon talks about The Ben Gordon New Life Foundation, Mount Vernon Community Weekend, and his other work with charity. Gordon also discusses his contract situation, Derrick Rose, UK Basketball, and Batman.

Here is a snippet of the interview.

SLAM: As of today, this second, where do you see yourself playing in three months?

BG: Honestly, I can’t even say where. As long as I’m doing what I love and I’m making the kind of money that I’m looking to make, I’ll be happy.

SLAM: With your status as a restricted free agent, do you feel kind of stuck?

BG: It’s frustrating, but it’s part of the business. I’m trying to weigh all of my options and see which one works out the best. I’m being patient and optimistic.

SLAM: Do you have any offers from Europe?

BG: There’s been a few. Josh Childress and the deal he got kind of made those teams reach out more. But my dream has always been to play in the NBA and this is where I want to play. That’s something that I want to be, an NBA basketball player. But I’d go (to Europe) if I had no choice.

SLAM: If you do end up back with the Bulls, are you comfortable playing a lot more 2 this year?

BG: I’m comfortable at either slot. At the 1, it’s easier when you have other guys around you who can score. With this team, it’s more interchangeable. I mean — depending on how our roster shakes out and if I’m still with them.

SLAM: So is your top choice to end up back in Chicago?

BG: Yeah. I mean, no other teams are under the cap, so I’d have to work out a sign-and-trade. And, with a sign-and-trade, both sides have to agree to it. So I’m still keeping everything open.
