The Denver Nuggets picked up a huge 115-109 win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night, and while Nikola Jokic led the way per usual, Aaron Gordon played a strong supporting role in this game. Gordon threw down some big dunks throughout the night, and he noticed some animated reactions from DeAndre Jordan throughout the night.

In a jaw-dropping moment during the recent game between the Denver Nuggets and their rivals, the Nuggets players, particularly DeAndre Jordan, found themselves in fits of laughter as Aaron Gordon seemingly emerged from the ground to follow up Nikola Jokic’s missed shot with a bombastic dunk. The hilarious scene left both players and fans in awe and disbelief.

It all started when Jokic, the Nuggets’ star center, attempted a layup that bounced off the rim.

As the ball soared upward, seemingly defying gravity, Aaron Gordon, known for his athleticism, appeared out of nowhere, rising from the depths of the court, and thunderously slammed the ball through the hoop, leaving the opposing team stunned.

While the play itself won’t go down in the record books as a game-winning shot or a defining moment in Nuggets history, it serves as a reminder that basketball is not just about the competitive spirit but also the joy and entertainment it brings. The lighthearted reaction from the Nuggets players showcased the camaraderie and fun-loving nature within the team.

In a league often characterized by intense rivalries and high-stakes games, moments like these provide a refreshing break from the seriousness. And for fans and players alike, they serve as a reminder that sometimes, even in the midst of competition, laughter and amusement can take center stage.

After the contest, Gordon shouted out Jordan for his hilarious reactions on the bench to his dunks, saying that if Jordan is going crazy over your dunks, that means you are doing something right.

“DJ is hilarious with the facial expressions…He knows what it’s like to have crazy dunks. He’s had some wild dunks, so if he’s like, ‘That was nuts,’ then I know it’s valid.” – Aaron Gordon, The Denver Post
