Aaron Gordon built himself a residence in Denver that's basically an apartment in a warehouse which houses a basketball court and weightroom. The guy isn't lacking in love for the game in any way.. He's just like Jokic in that he realizes you can love to play, but still know there is more to life that you shouldn't miss out on.

Edit: Here's a link to Gordon's house: https://andscape.com/features/aaron-gordons-basketball-sanctuary-helped-the-denver-nuggets-to-an-nba-championship/


I was totally being sarcastic but that's pretty cool regarding AG, didn't know that!


How can anyone tell if you're trolling or not?


seriously?

Of course we're watching this from the outside, but I would say Jokic and Gordon have a very different background.
It's really nice to see someone going all the way to Serbia for a totally different experience vs what he's likely used to and this way bonding more deeply with a teammate.
This doesn't look like something maybe superficial like partying together, but a real effort to know the other person more and I really like it.
Add the way he partied with the fans after the title and Aaron looks like really great a personality.
Again, from the outside.

2 likeable guys.

Nuggets pretty much has likeable players. Same for the Heat during the NBA Finals.

Nuggets love playing and hanging around each other. What other team can you say this of?

Man, being a Nuggets fan is so great. Harden opting in and declaring war on his team, meanwhile two of Denver's best players just chilling having fun and being friends, knowing the Nuggets superstar will never cause drama.

one of the reasons jokic is such a great leader is because he makes connections with his teammates. look at his reaction to seeing monte morris after one of the finals games:



he was more excited than when they actually won the finals. it's a lot easier to buy in and follow a guy who plays like he's trying to win for his teammates.
