Before the 2004 NBA draft, Gordon thought that he would be drafted anywhere from 7th to 12th, but as the draft got closer he claimed to have an inkling that the Bulls might draft him third as they did with Michael Jordan 20 years earlier in the 1984 NBA draft. “I’m a guy who looks at the significance of numbers a lot. Before the draft, I had no idea I’d get drafted third. I thought I was going to go anywhere from 7th to 12th. As we started getting closer and I started to get an inkling that the Bulls could be a team that I could end up playing for, I started to look at the numbers. Michael Jordan was drafted by the Bulls and he was the third pick just like you.” Gordon wore the number 4 on his jersey in high school and college, but had to wear the number 7 with the Bulls due to the number 4 being retired. Gordon said, “I wore No. 4 my whole career but, of course, Jerry Sloan already had that number beforehand so there wasn’t much I could do about it. So all I did was just [put together] being the third pick with my old No. 4. That’s why I wear No. 7.” The Bulls also acquired Luol Deng in the same draft.
