Aaron Gordon claimed Steve Kerr asked him about playing for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics

Aaron Gordon Steve Kerr Team USA United States Paris Olympics NBA

Denver Nuggets star forward Aaron Gordon claims that Team USA coach Steve Kerr made him a big promise.

Gordon didn’t suit up with Team USA during this year’s Paris Olympics, but Gordon claimed through Twitter (X) on Thursday afternoon that Kerr asked him if he wanted to play with the squad.

“It’s a bit rhetorical but hey we got gold,” Gordon said on social media of Kerr’s prompt.

“If you think I’m not working every damn day to play in 2028 and represent…I got goals! Don’t care if you wanna see me fail.”

Well, that’s certainly interesting. Maybe Gordon will make Team USA for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics?

After we beat the warriors in the bay Steve Kerr asked if I wanted to play on the USA team… idk bro. It’s a bit rhetorical but hey we got gold
