Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets forward, has decided to change his jersey number from 50 to 32 starting next season. This change is a tribute to his late brother, Drew Gordon, who tragically passed away.
Aaron had worn the number 50 for years, a nod to his memorable performance in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where he earned multiple perfect scores of 50. However, the switch to number 32 carries a much deeper and personal significance for him. By wearing this new number, Aaron aims to honor his brother’s memory and keep his spirit alive on the court.
Drew Gordon was also a professional basketball player and played in various leagues around the world. The change in Aaron’s jersey number is a heartfelt reminder of the bond they shared and the legacy Drew left behind.
This gesture not only reflects Aaron’s love and respect for his brother but also shows how deeply his family influences his journey both on and off the court.
