Watch: Aaron Gordon does the J.R. Smith celebration on streets of Denver straight after winning championship

After the buzzer went off to mark the end of the fourth quarter in Game 5 of the 2023 NBA Finals, Aaron Gordon celebrated winning the championship with the entire city of Denver. Following the win, he went out to the streets to celebrate with the fans without a shirt.

His celebration was similar to J.R. Smith's back in 2016. Gordon didn't even change into his street clothes, as he just went outside of Ball Arena wearing his jersey shorts and gear.

Watch the video below to see a shirtless Gordon celebrating with Nuggets fans.

Who knows, we might be in for a shirtless summer from Gordon, which was what Smith did when he won a championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Looking at Aaron Gordon's impact on the Nuggets

Gordon had a significant impact on the team's postseason run. He was a defensive anchor for the Nuggets and was able to slow down his matchups in the playoffs.

In the first round, he completely shut down Karl-Anthony Towns, which helped Denver take care of business in five games. Kevin Durant was his second victim. With Gordon guarding him, KD wasn't able to help the Phoenix Suns get past the second round.

In the next round, Gordon locked down LeBron James on multiple occasions. His defensive tenacity gave the Nuggets enough energy to sweep the LA Lakers. Finally, in the finals, the 6-foot-8 forward took the opportunity to silence and slow down Jimmy Butler.

Gordon averaged 13.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.6 assists for the Nuggets in the postseason.

After winning the chip, Aaron Gordon received a bonus

The Larry O'Brien trophy isn't the only thing that Aaron Gordon got a hold of after last night's win. It was confirmed by ESPN's Bobby Marks that Gordon has earned a bonus of $1 million. This came from an incentive that was included in his contract.

He wasn't the only player in the Nuggets roster to have an impact on his finances after winning the chip. Bruce Brown has a chance to make $12.2 million, as his value has increased. However, many think that Brown might not be back on the roster next season as the team is only allowed to offer him $7.8 million in the offseason.
