Aaron Gordon, who seems to be everyone’s favorite player (besides Clippers fans), will be heading overseas to the Eastern Hemisphere later this month. Just a month after Nikola Jokic took his tour to China with his shoe brand, 361 Degrees, Mr. Nugget will be following in his footsteps with his own Asia tour with the brand.

The tour will be from Aug. 21-29 as Gordon, a 361 Brand Ambassador, will make his way to six different cities in Asia.

Jokic’s tour took place a few weeks ago and was a huge success. Everywhere he went, he was welcomed with open arms and thousands of fans cheering for him with scrapbooks, jerseys, shoes and even an inflatable horse in the crowd. The highlight was likely him showing off his speed as he raced a bullet train in the station.

Gordon has cemented himself as one of the most beloved players in Nuggets franchise history, hence why he’s been given the nickname “Mr. Nugget.” Now, he’s got an opportunity to expand his fanbase even more in a fun way by tapping into the NBA fanbase over in Asia. It’s likely going to look like his parade through the streets of Denver after he helped lead the Nuggets to their first NBA Championship back in 2023.
