In case you were wondering, Dee Gordon can flat-out ball on the hardwood.
Days after the Mariners acquired Gordon in a trade with the Marlins, the two-time All Star laced up his sneakers and showed off his basketball skills with the Harlem Globetrotters before leaving Miami.
In his cameo with the Globetrotters, ‘Flash’ Gordon knocked down a 4-pointer, and later hit a running, turnaround jumper.
Gordon was a star basketball player at Avon Park High School, and didn’t begin playing organized baseball until he was 16 years old. His dad, Tom Gordon, was an MLB pitcher for 21, but Dee grew up focusing on other sports like basketball and football.
