Veteran energy ahead Aaron Gordon of the Denver Nuggets has had an attention-grabbing profession within the NBA, as at one level, after being chosen with the No. 4 general choose within the 2014 NBA Draft, he was thought-about to be the face of the Orlando Magic and potential celebrity within the making.
Sadly for Gordon, celebrity standing by no means got here, although he placed on a present within the Dunk Contest and have become identified for his unimaginable means to play above the rim.
Gordon was by no means capable of get the Magic on monitor as a power to be reckoned with within the Jap Convention and was in the end traded to the Nuggets in 2021, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him.
The previous College of Arizona star turned out to be the proper match for the Nuggets, as he slot in seamlessly within the frontcourt alongside celebrity heart Nikola Jokic and went on to win an NBA title in Denver.
With Gordon resurrecting his profession in Denver, he was contacted by Group USA to play within the 2024 Olympics, however apparently, issues didn’t work out, as there was no follow-up from the preliminary inquiry, which didn’t sit effectively with the Nuggets star through NBA Central.
“I was asked if I wanted to play for USA and then the call never came around,” Gordon stated. “There was a little bit of salt there in the first place.”

Evidently the bitterness of by no means getting one other name again from Group USA motivated his curiosity within the 2024 Olympics, as he was cheering on his Nuggets teammate Jokic, whose Serbian workforce nearly beat the People within the semifinals.
