Gordon warned Lendeborg that the league would ultimately humble him, emphasizing that there are formidable players in the league who can challenge even the best. Despite initial doubts about his role, Lendeborg has proven his capabilities, stepping up when Stephen Curry is absent. The rookie has faced off against NBA star Luka Doncic, who made it clear that he holds no special status within the league. Gordon's guidance is a reminder for Lendeborg to be prepared for the challenges that come with playing in the NBA, and his maturity as a rookie will help him use setbacks as motivation to improve.",
