Aaron Addison Gordon (born September 16, 1995)[1] is an American professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Born in San Jose, California, Gordon attended Archbishop Mitty High School where he led his team to two state championships and was named California Mr. Basketball in his junior and senior years. Gordon then played one year of college basketball with the Arizona Wildcats, during which they won the Pac-12 regular season title and reached the Elite Eight of the 2014 NCAA tournament.

Gordon was selected by the Orlando Magic as the fourth overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft. Gordon has twice been a runner-up in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, losing a close matchup to Zach LaVine in 2016 and Derrick Jones Jr. in 2020.[2] After being traded to the Nuggets in 2021, Gordon won his first NBA championship in 2023.

Early life

Gordon was born in San Jose, California, to former San Diego State basketball player Ed Gordon and Shelly Davis Gordon.[3] Gordon has claimed that his paternal great-great-grandfather was a 7-foot-tall (2.1 m) Osage Indian.[4][5] His father is black and his mother is white.[6] After going undrafted by the NBA, Gordon's father tried out as a tight end for the National Football League's New England Patriots with no prior football experience.[4][7][8] After being cut in the preseason,[9] he played a year of pro basketball in Mexico.[4] Gordon's older brother, Drew, also became a pro basketball player while his older sister, Elise, played collegiately for the Harvard women's basketball team.[10]

Gordon attended Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose.[11] As a freshman in 2009–10, Gordon started in 28 of 41 games and averaged 11.8 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game.[12] He also competed on the school's track and field team as a thrower and played summer basketball for the Oakland Soldiers.

As a sophomore in 2010–11, Gordon helped his team win the CIF Division II title[13] which was Mitty's first state title in men's basketball.[12] Mitty finished with a 32–2 record with Gordon playing all 34 games, averaging 16.4 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game. In the 2011 title game, Gordon scored 17 points and broke the state championship record by gathering 21 rebounds.[12]

As a junior in 2011–12, Gordon led his team to their second CIF Division II state title after defeating La Costa Canyon 78–57 in the finals. Gordon finished the game with 33 points and 20 rebounds. For the season, Gordon averaged 22.9 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.3 blocks per game and was chosen as the California Mr. Basketball Player of the Year.[14]

As a senior in 2012–13, Gordon averaged 21.6 points, 15.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game and lead Archbishop Mitty to a 28–6 record.[11] With this record, Archbishop Mitty reached the CIF Open Division finals where they lost against Mater Dei High School 50–45 with Gordon finishing the game with 22 points and 20 rebounds.[15] Gordon was again chosen as the California Mr. Basketball Player of the year during his senior year.[12]
