Aaron Gordon on missing All-Star game: 'It hurt me'
Harrison Wind: Aaron Gordon: “It hurt me not being in the All-Star game. If I wasn’t focused on the mental aspect of it, understanding that it’s going to get greater later & there’s a bigger picture, it would have pulled me into a negative mentality…it actually made me that much more hungry.”

Aaron Gordon just wrapped up a solo 30-minute shooting session. Was the only Nuggets player on the practice court for that whole time. Went through his complete arsenal of shots — 3s, mid-range, catch-and-shoots, free-throws. Got up around 400 total shots. pic.twitter.com/8uNWnvLKC8 – 8:21 PM

Aaron Gordon just said this Nuggets team is his favorite team he’s ever played on his whole life and that he missed his teammates during the five-day break. – 8:15 PM

A REMINDER
Aaron Gordon: Eight perfect scores at the dunk contest (all-time leader), zero wins.
Nate Robinson: One perfect score, four dunk contest wins.
One of the biggest scandals in the sport. (I’m only half kidding). – 10:06 PM
