jokic sold him out so hard
Jokic fans will see a performance like this and still say that jokic doesn’t have any help.😂😂😂
Best role player
Is this the Blake griffin pro max ? 😂
Can't believe the Nuggets wasted this insane career game for Gordon, Jokic especially sold looking out of shape and bad shot selection. 8-23 and 2-13 from 3 ain't it, chief.
So ironic, In dunk contest he scores 49 and lose, Now scores 50 and lose again😢
Bro y did I take the under😂😂
long way from the dunk contests, efficient scorer
this is what the orlando magic kid envisioned
Bro i dont know how people call jokic the best when he cnt even make a shot.his game is not it the stats is good but the game nah.
I hope this is just the beginning of AG’s prime 👀🤞🏼
Gordon was having historic shooting night and Jokic was not having good shooting night but of course Jokic has to take that last shot. It's not always all about winning but more of politics and money.
AG!🔥💪
warriors no defense😅
Nuggets lose but what a great performance by Aaron Gordon
Aaron Gordon becomes the first player to score 50 points in a debut game while being 6'8, having a double digit number jersey, grabbing at least 8 rebounds and scoring more than half of his points on three pointers, while having less than ten free throws made, HISTORIC!
Do you realise that per cent means per 100 ! So how do you get 105 per 100 ? Lol ……. see comment below .
Jokic should assist ………….
Meanwhile someone needed 26FTs to get 50 points 😂😂
He playing on NBA 2k26 sliders lol
And there is NO information on espn website about arron Gordon 50 pc
That's ridiculous defense
grande gordon, the best.
Aaron Gordon MVP season loading?
Steve Kerr is washed bro. On a night where Jokic was pretty bad for his standards and where both Cam and CB were bad, he let ag go for 50. And most of his threes were because he was left wide open. This is kinda like that time when gsw left Jaylen brown wide open and he went for 40. Like use your head
Air Gordon😂
This yayareasfinest Aaron Gordon
Good thing wade wasn’t the ref, he would’ve took away 1 of Gordon’s 3’s so therefore he ends with 47!
Very impressive AG but they lost despite his 50 point performance.
why do they refuse to step up lol
instead of starting to play some defence this year nba just decided to get rid of it completely lmao
what a joke of a basketball
He was a star in Orlando that choose to sign as a role player of course he’s the best 2/3rd option in the league 😂
