Aaron Gordon gets energized when he's near his hometown, which was evident in his recent game against Golden State.
Man, the DJ was playing slaps, you know what I mean? So I'm vibing the whole game. He's playing the straight Bay that I grew up with. Just like hyphy music, you know what I mean?
Gordon's performance was inspired by Oakland-style hip-hop, a genre that emerged in the '90s and was popular in the Bay Area during his youth in San Jose.
Aaron Gordon: Exceptional performance driven by hometown vibes and music.
