Aaron Gordon on returning to All-Star Dunk Contest: If I'm healthy, maybe I'll do it
AARON GORDON: First of all, this is a young man’s [laughter] game. I saw someone on Twitter say, ‘Wow, bro, you’re really going to call out dudes who have no cartilage in their knees?’ Like, come on, bro. I’m not that old. First and foremost, yes, it is a young man’s game. But I still have some in the tank. I still have an arsenal. I’ve got something in the back pocket. But you know, it’s a long season. If I’m healthy? Maybe I’ll do it.

AARON GORDON: And then 2020 happens. Dwyane Wade gives you a nine out of ten. I don’t forgive people easily, Aaron. Did you forgive him? I mean, clearly, I made a diss track about him, so no, I don’t forgive people that easily either. But yeah, I do forgive D-Wade. That said, when I look back at it, I can’t help but think—man, he was kind of hating a bit. -via YouTube / February 20, 2025
SGA is the favorite to win MVP, and the fatigue around it annoys me. I can't imagine how much it must annoy you guys. Make the case for your teammate. AARON GORDON: I mean, just look at the plus-minus when he's on the floor versus when he's off. When he's on, it's by far the best team in the league. When he's off? It's ugly. You know what I mean? That stat alone tells you everything. We're fixing that, but at the same time—yo, he got MVP last year, and he's even better this year. All of his numbers are up. He's shooting the ball better, averaging a triple-double. His numbers are better than Shai’s. I get that OKC is winning, but come on, bro. He's doing this while pulling 12 rebounds and 10 assists per game. What are we looking at here? This is one of the most ridiculous stat lines ever. -via YouTube / February 20, 2025
AARON GORDON: You know what was really dope? Seeing Jeff Green as a champion. That was fire. Seeing him enjoy himself, knowing how hard he’s worked—man, if anyone deserved to be a champion, it was Jeff. Watching him and the rest of the team turn up that night? That was really special." -via YouTube / February 20, 2025
