At some point during the last few weeks, Aaron Gordon’s Instagram page made a major change. His Instagram username changed to @youngheirgordon. Clearly a play on words for Gordon’s dunking exploits but something else instructive of the mantle and responsibility he wanted to accept.
Perhaps this is all reading too much into the mind of a 22-year-old person. A young man still trying to make his way in the world. A man with a plenty serious mind but still a kid in many ways. It might be meaningful of nothing more than an inside joke.
