Aaron Gordon's shot never missed, not even after the match was over.
Following Nikola Jokic's off-night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, a journalist asked about the experience of being the weakest player on the court.
As Jokic faced the media scrum, Aaron Gordon, seated at his locker stall just a few feet away, started to pay attention.
It was supposed to be a joke. A light-hearted remark. An ironic question, even.
But AG wasn't cracking a smile.
"He wasn't the worst...per se," he might have muttered under his breath.
In the past, Aaron Gordon had played a pivotal part in the Denver Nuggets' triumphs against the Oklahoma City Thunder, particularly in games where MVP performances shone brightly. During Game 1, he sealed the victory with a game-winning three-pointer[2][3]. In Game 3, he made another clutch three-pointer that prolonged the game, although his impact waned in the overtime as the Nuggets took control[1].
During an uncharacteristic off-night for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from the Thunder, Gordon's key plays helped the Nuggets exploit their opponent's struggles. Gilgeous-Alexander had one of his worst games of the season, scoring only 18 points[1]. Yet, despite Nikola Jokic also having a less-than-stellar performance in Game 3 compared to his usual standards, the Nuggets were still able to outplay the Thunder[1].
Overall, Gordon's clutch shooting and timely interplay have been instrumental in these games, propelling the Nuggets past competitive matches against the Thunder.
Jokic, despite an off-night, remained unfazed by the journalist's ironic question about being the weakest player, as Aaron Gordon, a few feet away, paid attention. During the game, Gordon's stellar performance in basketball's NBA, specifically in the game of sports against Oklahoma City Thunder, stood out, particularly in clutch moments. Despite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's uncharacteristic low-scoring game, Gordon's dressings of performance helped the Nuggets capitalize on the Thunder's struggles, echoing the joker's role in turning the tide.
