From high-flyer to champion: scrubbing Aaron Gordon's career

A one-minute painted tour of this birthday explorer's season scrubber, followed by what the numbers show and where to check them.

Read the narration

Aaron Gordon turned thirty-one on September sixteenth. This explorer lays his NBA career out as a timeline you can scrub, one season at a time. The slider steps through twelve seasons, from his rookie year in Orlando to twenty twenty-five, twenty-six in Denver. Pick points, rebounds, assists or field goal percentage, and the chart redraws that line. Start at age nineteen. Drafted fourth overall in twenty fourteen, the rookie averaged five point two points a game. By twenty seventeen, eighteen, he peaked at seventeen point six for the Magic. Now switch to field goal percentage. In that Orlando peak season he made about forty-three percent of his shots. After the twenty twenty-one trade to Denver, the line starts to climb. By the title season, twenty twenty-two, twenty-three, he was making about fifty-six percent, cutting to the rim beside Nikola Jokić. Fewer shots, far more efficient. Drag the scrubber or tap a Quick Jump button, and watch a high-flying scorer turn into a championship glue guy.

What the explorer shows, and how to read it

Volume vs. efficiency

Points per game measure volume; field goal percentage measures how often shots go in. Gordon's scoring peaked in Orlando (17.6 PPG in 2017-18 on 43.4% shooting), while his Denver role traded volume for efficiency.

The title season

In 2022-23 Gordon averaged 16.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists on 56.4% shooting (official league figures), starting for Denver's first NBA championship.

Check the table

The explorer's built-in table is a hand-entered dataset. Its 2022-23 points figure (13.4) is lower than the official 16.3, and it labels 2025-26 as 'Age 31' even though he played that season at 30, so compare against NBA.com or Basketball-Reference before quoting it.

Ages and seasons

Born September 16, 1995, Gordon turns a year older just before each NBA season starts, which is why his season age runs from 19 as a 2014-15 rookie.
