Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets forward, has significantly contributed to the team’s sustained success in the Western Conference over recent years.

At 29 years old, Gordon has seamlessly integrated into the Denver squad, assuming a critical role in the “dunker spot” of the offense where he has excelled as a creator, playing alongside the celebrated Nikola Jokic.

The camaraderie between Gordon and Jokic is evident, making it unsurprising that Gordon thoroughly enjoyed watching Jokic challenge Team USA in the Olympic semifinals. Gordon’s own omission from Team USA added a personal twist to the event.

“At Denver’s media day on Thursday, I mentioned that I was open to playing for Team USA, but then I never got the call,” Gordon shared. “There was definitely a bit of disappointment initially. And seeing [Jokic] almost take down Team USA was pretty awesome. It made me proud to have him as a teammate, though of course, I still root for America!” he said, sparking laughter among the audience.

Looking ahead, Gordon is poised to be a pivotal player for Denver this season, working alongside Jokic and guard Jamal Murray.
