Ben Gordon Was Cookin’ Somethin’

Ben Gordon could always cook. The stocky 6’3 guard built like a well-fed mountain goat that could headbutt its way through a reinforced steel car door was a matchup nightmare.

In three seasons at UConn, he averaged 17 points per game on 44% shooting from the field and won an NCAA Division I Championship in 2003-04.

He also occasionally tried cooking off the court, but that didn’t go nearly as well.

Chef Gordon

According to a first-hand account, Ben was hamming it up with some frat bros one night at an on-campus party when a serious case of the munchies kicked in.

**Well whadda ya know, UConn won another NCAA basketball Championship. Get your official champions tees and other Huskies gear at affordable prices. Go to your local grocery store if you have the munchies.**

Ever resourceful, Chef Gordon Dumbsey found a frozen pizza, and instead of popping it in the oven like a normal stoner, he proceeded to place the entire pizza on a stovetop burner…with the cardboard packaging still on the bottom🤦‍♂️

Predictably, after a few minutes, the entire apartment began to fill with smoke from the burning cardboard and the fire alarm went off.

When the frat boy renting the apartment frantically rushed into the kitchen, more baked than the burnt stovetop pizza, and asked “What the hell is going on in here?”

Ben cooly replied: “Chill son, I’m cookin’ somethin’”

Gordon hasn’t gotten any smarter all these years later, as he’s apparently been roaming around his old stomping grounds of Stamford, Connecticut with a stun gun and brass knuckles as of late👀
