Video: Eric Gordon on free agency and competing for a spot on Team USA

Eric Gordon is in Las Vegas vying for one of the final spots on Team USA that will compete in the London Olympics.

A few highlights:

• He feels slighted by the Hornets organization and has had little contact with team brass.
• More than anything, he feels “taken advantage of” in New Orleans.
• Eric can’t make sense of New Orleans drafting Austin Rivers at No. 10 when until Anthony Davis, they had no bigs.
• The Hornets have said he’s their cornerstone player, yet he believes he hasn’t been treated that way or offered a contract that represents that.
• It’s an honor for him to be playing with these guys and being considered for Team USA.
• He says he’s 100-percent, without a doubt.
• He’s lost some weight, down to 213 which he admits is the lightest he’s been in quite awhile.

Following the first day of practice he talked with the media, primary about his free agency. Watch what he had to say below, via Hornets247.com:
