The NBA Finals are heating up as the Denver Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon showcases his defensive prowess against some of the league’s top players. The 27-year-old power forward expressed pride in locking down stars like Karl-Anthony Towns, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Jimmy Butler. After the Nuggets secured a 104-93 victory over the Miami Heat, Gordon humorously boasted about “locking up” James, Durant, and Butler. Despite the attention he has received for his defense, his comments sparked controversy on Twitter, with fans accusing him of being arrogant and failing to recognize James’ overall greatness and impact on the court. Nevertheless, Gordon’s contributions to the Nuggets’ success have not gone unnoticed since he joined the team in March 2021, quickly establishing himself as an important part of the team.
