Aaron Gordon is one of the most entertaining players to watch. The 27-year-old forward has been incredible ever since his Magic tenure. Aaron played for the University of Arizona where he averaged 12 points and eight rebounds in his first season. He would get drafted as a 4th pick by the Orlando Magic in 2014. Gordon had a rough couple of seasons coming into the league. Though he would, later on, adapt to the game, proving to be a great asset.
In the 2017-18 season, Gordon played his best basketball, averaging 17 points and eight rebounds. Aaron has participated in three dunk contests and has finished eight perfect dunks, though he’s never won the dunk contest. Frustrated by his attempts, Gordon decided to not take part again. For the 2023 All-Star weekend, Gordon had made up his mind for another try at the contest, only if he was to make the All-Star team.
In March 2021, Aaron was traded to the Denver Nuggets, as he would play with a contender-level team in the 2021 postseason. In his last 2 seasons, Gordon has been playing pretty well alongside the two-time MVP, Nikola Jokic. Having played nine seasons so far, Gordon has signed quite some contracts. Here is Aaron Gordon’s contract and salary breakdown.
