The Denver Nuggets managed to tie at 2-2 in their Western Conference Semi-Finals series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and a huge credit was given to Aaron Gordon.
Shooting 11/12 from the field for a total of 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, Rudy Gobert commented on that after the loss. “A lot of them were contested so if [Aaron] Gordon turns into Kobe Bryant, we just got to live with that”, he said.
Another must-talked quote in the post-game press conference came by Aaron Gordon himself. When asked about when he learned how to be selfless, Nikola Jokic entered the place. “That’s a great transition, Katie. You saw the big fella stepping in the room, eh?”, he smiled.
“That guy, that’s where I learned to be selfless. I learned it from him. He’s the best basketball player in the world, a three-time MVP. He’s the most selfless and humble dude that you’ll ever meet. If a three-time MVP can do it, I can do it too”, he continued praising his teammate.
After this segment was shared on social media by several outlets, an interesting reply came in the Spanish outlet Gigantes del Basket’s comment sections. Andres Nocioni had a beautiful message about what Aaron Gordon said. “Always in my team”, the Argentinian legend commented.
