In an interview with ‘DNVR’ Sports on the 22nd (Korean time), Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon talked about the regret of not being able to play in the All-Star Game.
Gordon, who received a lot of attention from a young age, went through the University of Arizona and joined Orlando with the fourth overall pick in the 2014 draft. Gordon, who stands out for his explosive athletic ability, received high expectations even before he joined the team.
After entering the NBA, Gordon, who seemed to be unable to live up to expectations due to his somewhat ambiguous performance, blossomed his career even more after moving to Denver. Gordon, who has noticeably improved his efficiency after changing his uniform, is having a career-high season this season, averaging 17.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 58.7% field goal rate, and 39.7% 3-point success rate.
Thanks to Gordon’s performance, Denver finished the first half in first place in the Western Conference. There was even an opinion that Gordon, one of the main players leading Denver’s rise, should participate in the All-Star game. 바카라사이트
However, Gordon never actually played in this All-Star Game. He is a Gordon who has only participated in the eve of events such as the dunk contest and has yet to step on the stage of the main game of the All-Star Game.
Not only the fans, but also Gordon himself was very disappointed that he was not selected as an All-Star. “It hurt me not to play in the All-Star Game,” Gordon said in an interview. “It actually made me hungrier.”
Maybe the All-Star elimination could be a stimulus for Gordon to leap to a higher place. Denver has 23 games left until the end of the regular season. What will Gordon do for the rest of the season?
