NBA fans convinced Aaron Gordon and Aaron Judge are brothers as 'identical' sports stars share strik

Publish date: 2024-05-09

SOME NBA fans believe they have found Aaron Gordon's long-lost brother.

The person in question is New York Yankees All-Star, 31-year-old Aaron Judge - and the similarities between him and the Denver Nuggets star are striking.

Gordon is 6-foot-8 and 235-pounds with a chiseled jawline, while Judge is 6-foot-7 and 282-pounds... with a chiseled jawline.

And their remarkably similar appearances have been noted in the past.

Look back to 2018 when Gordon, 27, dressed up as Judge for Halloween, leading to a Golf Digest article that joked that "they're definitely the same person."

Recently, with the Nuggets on the verge of an NBA Finals win, a thread has emerged on Reddit suggesting that the two stars could be related.

It asks whether Gordon and Judge could be brothers, going on to add: "Keep in mind Judge was adopted when he was a few days old and never met his biological family.

"Gordon is from San Jose, judge was raised in Sacramento."

And it seems others feel the same, with one Twitter user saying: "Aaron Gordon & Aaron judge are twins I've said this for so long."

While another Twitter user said that this was their "favorite NBA conspiracy, mostly because it’s so probable."

It's true that Judge was adopted shortly after his birth in 1992 by two Linden, California-based teachers, Patty and Wayne, as per the New York Post.

Judge explained that he found out he was adopted when he "was about ten or eleven and we really didn't look alike, so I started asking questions and they told me I was adopted and answered all my questions, and that was that.

"I was fine with it. It really didn't bother me because that's the only parents I've known."

As for whether or not this conspiracy theory is accurate - fans may never know.
