Eric Gordon has been in the NBA since 2008.
He’s played for multiple organizations, and he’s had his fair share of star teammates, even big men.
He’s played with the likes of Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Zach Randolph, and Blake Griffin, among many others.
That’s why Joel Embiid should be honored to hear what Gordon had to say about him.
Talking to Dan Olinger, he claimed that Embiid is the most dominant big man he’s ever gotten the opportunity to play with, and while he didn’t forget about some of his former teammates, he added that Embiid is definitely the most dynamic.
“[Joel Embiid] will be the most dominant big that’s been my teammate. I’ve had AD before, Blake Griffin during his good time, I’ve had a lot of good bigs, but he’s very dynamic … he’s definitely a special player.”

Gordon got reunited with Daryl Morey, joining the new-look Philadelphia 76ers after a brief stint with the Phoenix Suns.
He wasn’t involved in Frank Vogel’s offense as much as he would’ve liked, and he’ll now get to play for a championship-caliber team.
The Sixers also added Paul George, Andre Drummond, and Caleb Martin and re-signed Kelly Oubre Jr.
They drafted another bucket-getter in Jared McCain, and they already had one of the best one-two punches in the game with Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
That means Gordon might not get as many touches on offense in the City of Brotherly Love either, but he should be a steady contributor off the bench with his well-known three-point shooting skills.
As for Embiid, this will be the best supporting cast he’s had since he entered the league, so he’ll have no excuses not to get past the second round of the playoffs.
