Defender of Krasnodar “Lokomotiv-Kuban » Vladislav Yemchenko told that the American who died in the accident Drew Gordon was an excellent basketball player and a person who participated in his development as a player.
Earlier it became known that Gordon died in an accident in Portland, Oregon at the age of 33, leaving behind a wife and three children. The basketball player played for Lokomotiv in 2021. Also in the VTB United League, Gordon played for Zenit St. Petersburg (2017-18) and Avtodor Samara (2020-21).
“I usually never pick up my phone in the morning, but then I felt it: I picked it up, I immediately saw this news and I was horrified. I knew Drew Gordon. I have to play with him and against him. He was a great basketball player and a wonderful person. In Lokomotiv he helped us young people, gave us a lot of advice, gave advice on the game – in general, somewhere he also took part in our development as basketball players.
This is sad news for the basketball world. My condolences to Drew’s family and friends. You must appreciate every moment of life, be grateful for everything, because at any moment life can end. “Everything is very unpredictable,” Yemchenko told .
