Aaron Gordon talks about the bond he has with Nuggets teammate Nikola Jokic

Gordon spoke to ESPN earlier this year about his relationship with Nikola Jokic.

"I just wanted to let him know that he got a brother, no matter where he is in the world," Gordon said. "After he's done playing basketball and disappears, I'll still be able to pull up on him."

In September 2022, Gordon was spotted supporting the Nuggets star when he was representing Serbia at the EuroBasket tournament in Prague.

In response, Jokic spoke about his fondness for Gordon and acknowledged his growth as an NBA player.

"I just really love talking to him," Jokic said. "He's a really interesting guy. I think we've learned just by playing. He is accepting a role to be less of a ball handler. His way of changing his game has helped us a lot."

The chemistry between the two was evident during their 2023 championship run as they took advantage of their potential together on the court.

Gordon's production in the 2023 NBA Finals solidified his importance as a role player. He averaged 14.0 points per game (60.4% shooting, including 55.6% from 3-point range) and 7.4 rebounds for the Nuggets.
