Did You Know?
His father Ed Gordon played college football at Cal, and brother Drew Gordon played in the NBA — basketball and athletics run deep in the Gordon family.
His 2016 and 2017 Slam Dunk Contest performances against Zach LaVine are still debated as the greatest contest matchup in the event's history, with many believing Gordon was robbed of back-to-back wins.
Gordon was an ardent advocate for Dunk Contest scoring reform after his near-miss performances drew widespread attention to judging inconsistencies.
Since joining Denver, Gordon has consistently ranked among the league leaders in screen assists and charges taken — statistics that reflect his willingness to do the thankless work that wins championships.
