Seeing this headline, those who know the NBA should know who I wrote about today. I don't know what people think about it, but I think it's a real shame in my opinion, because he's the first choice for the championship anywhere. Wade's nine points have made him never participate in the dunk contest again, and it has also made us lose a lot of wonderful places in the dunk contest every year. I've always felt that it was the dunk contest that lost to him, not the dunk contest that he lost to the dunk contest. Today I want to talk to you about the uncrowned king, Aaron Gordon.
Born in September 1995 in San Jose, California, USA) is an American professional basketball player who plays as a forward for the Denver Nuggets. In 2013, he helped the United States team win the FIBA Under 19 World Championship and won the MVP, and was elected Mr. Basketball of the United States in the same year. The fourth pick in the first round in 2014 was selected by the Orlando Magic to enter the NBA. In March 2021, he was traded by the Magic to the Denver Nuggets. Maybe Aaron Gordon gives everyone the impression of his dunks, but his scoring ability also belongs to the middle level of the NBA, which is ignored by everyone, he is also an important puzzle that can be used as a championship team, and his defense is also good.
Aron Gordon was born into a sports family, his father was a double repairman in football and basketball, and his mother was an ice hockey player on the American team, so he inherited his parents' excellent athletic ability from an early age, so he has shown his outstanding athletic talent when he played in high school leagues, and he is very interested in ice hockey, rugby, sprinting, skateboarding and even golf. At the age of eight, he qualified for the 100m and 200m athletics competitions of the Junior Olympic Games, which shows how good his athletic talent is. In the end, after much deliberation, Aaron Gordon chose basketball.
Thinking about Aaron Gordon's 2016 showdown of the century with LaVine now gives me a glimpse of what the long-lost dunk contest is all about. I used to think that the dunk contest was not interesting, but since the emergence of Aaron Gordon, we have seen a long-lost and wonderful duel, and his opponent LaVine also feels a strong sense of oppression. In 2015, LaVine easily won the title before he could exert his full strength, and after winning the championship in 2016, he said that Aaron Gordon was the strongest opponent he had ever met. In fact, Aaron Gordon did not win the championship in 2016, we can understand, after all, Lavin is also very good, but why did not win in 2020? Wade nine points to let his teammate Jones win the championship, I really can't understand, and after the game when many netizens sprayed Wade, Wade also let Aaron Gordon use this matter to hype, to make money, even this kind of words can be said, Wade really does not want to face.
Anyway, we will never see Gordon again in the dunk contest, and I hope that this matter will not become his future talk of others, because Gordon's strength is not only a dunk, but he can bring substantial help to the team at the critical time of the game.
In the end, I hope that Aaron Gordon can train hard, strengthen his training in other aspects of basketball, and let others know that you are not famous because of the dunk contest, but your own strength. Come on, Aron Gordon!
