[Highlight] Nikola Jokic deflects the pass by Donovan Clingan in the back court and Aaron Gordon finds Jokic with a brilliant over the shoulder no look pass for the easy 2
AG is the heartbeat of this team.
He just does everything the nuggets need of him…. Need more players like that
It’s very rare that a guy can defend 2 through 5, has the size and strength to be muscle in the paint, play the dunker spot, handle the ball, play make for others, and also be an excellent 3 point shooter.
And he’s so good at it.
AGree
Gordon basically has no weakness in his game at this point. Underrated BBIQ too
Yeah Gordon’s last significant flaws were his 3 and FT %s and he fixed those before last season. Truly wild to see how much he’s improved in these last few years despite being such a long time vet.
I swear I’ve seen this before, but with AG and Jokic swapped.
It’s almost like AG has been watching Jokic highlights
That one with Brook López. He’s looking for the ball still today.
Every so often I see Gordon make a play we expect from Jokic, and its almost always a pass to Joker as well. It’s different than the chemistry was Murray but still so key.
Gordon has clearly taken a lot to heart from playing with Jokic. I recall at least one interview where he talked about how seeing Jokic be selfless told him he had to be too. If the best player on the team/in the NBA can play that way, he sure better as well.
I haven’t seen anything that makes me dislike Mr Nuggets so far and I hope I never do. He puts in the work, keeps improving his game, and takes care of his nephews and their mom.
That whole story with his brother breaks my heart, but it sure has let Gordon show who he really is. Treats those kids as his own.
“That guy, man. That’s where I learned to be selfless. I learned it from him, man. He’s the best basketball player in the world, three-time MVP, and he’s the most selfless, humble dude that you’ll ever meet. So, if a three-time MVP can do it, I can do it too”
This is the exact interview I was thinking of, thanks for digging it up.
Like when Roy Kent did a press conference where he told a long, rambling, emotional personal story in order to demonstrate his point, Ted Lasso style
The student has learned well
strategic turnover for free buckets
this whole game was so entertaining (for a nuggets fan at least), so many random plays by basically everyone and a million fast breaks
Just like we drew up
Jokic so good he passed to Clingan, mind-controlled him and then he passed it back /s
never separate gordon and jokic
That’s the actual play drawn.
Gordon really is a goddamn chameleon. Has there been a player that has adapted how they play as often as him while still being productive.
Jamal’s reaction all the money..and AG is soo good nowdays..
I am jumping on this fucking wagon. LETS GOOO
If the lakers did this it would have 200 upvotes in 10 minutes

If ayton could hold onto a ball like that itd be worth 200 upvotes

And free throws for shai?
And minus 6 points for Everton. Wait, wrong thread and sub.
This guy gets it
