Former NBA player Ben Gordon has been arrested for allegedly striking his 10-year old son at LaGuardia airport late Monday as they were waiting for a Chicago-bound flight, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Per NY Post, The former shooting guard — who earned an estimated $84 million during his NBA career — was barred from getting on the plane by cops, while his son was escorted by an aunt to the Long Island Jewish Children’s Hospital for evaluation.
In the wake of his string of arrests, Gordon in 2020.
“I would be up on the roof of my apartment building at four o’ clock in the morning, just pacing to the edge of the ledge, looking over — pacing back and forth, back and forth — just thinking, I’m really about to do it, B,” Gordon wrote.
“I’m about to escape from all this s–t. I was obsessed with killing myself. It’s all I researched, all I thought about. One night my panic attacks got so bad that all I could think about was escape. … You become like an animal. It’s instinctive.”
He said he was convinced he was in purgatory after his 11th — and final — NBA season ended.
Gordon said that he’d never seen a therapist but eventually sought help after his various run-ins with the law.
