Nuggets continue to grant Aaron Gordon his longtime wish

The Denver Nuggets traded for Aaron Gordon seven years after the Magic selected him with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2014 draft. There was a lot of pressure on AG to guide Orlando out of its rebuild and into a top team in the league, an outcome that never happened. He's always been a good player, but it wasn't until he arrived in Denver that he truly found his fit as a professional basketball player.

Gordon dreamed of becoming a pro basketball player when he was a little kid, as did many other current NBA players.
