Chicago Bulls Star Ben Gordon incorporates Pilates in his NBA Basketball workout to prepare himself to play an 82 game season. View some of his Pilates Mat routines in the You Tub video below. Like fellow NBA stars LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Jason Kidd Gordon states “It’s not so much the court stuff, it’s more activities off the court than on”.
Work is something he has never shied away from. What he has learned so far in preparation for his career has more to do with his activities off the court than on. Gordon, a self-described basketball junkie, incorporates Pilates training to prepare himself to play an 82 game season.
Excitement may be the choice word when Bulls fans first saw Gordon don his own Chicago jersey three seasons ago. 
They all knew of his game. After all, he did just win an NCAA National Championship. But what stunned everyone, including his teammates and coaching staff, was that on any given night he could take over games with such eye-popping numbers as twenty points in a single quarter, not to mention his numerous game-winning buzzer beaters.
Chicago Bulls Ben Gordon’s outside aim has proven more than true throughout his 3-year NBA career, as the 6-3 guard has consistently knocked down close to 40% of his shots from beyond the 3-point mark.
As part of his pre-game routine, Ben Gordon steps onto the United Center hardwood an hour and a half before each tip-off and meticulously unleashes jumper after jumper from around the perimeter. His signature rainbow arc takes flight—appearing to momentarily float eye-to-eye with the UC’s 200-level seating area—before dropping to its final nylon landing pad.
I’ve always wanted to take the big shots when it counts. I think that’s what separates me from a lot of other players. Regardless of what’s going on during the game, I always want to take that last shot.”
