Who is Daniel Gafford?
Daniel Gafford, a native of El Dorado, Arkansas, is not only a standout NBA player but also a committed family man and community advocate. He rose to prominence in high school as a dominant athlete, known for his leadership and humility. Daniel continued his success at the University of Arkansas, becoming a fan favorite for his energy and athleticism. After two strong college seasons, he entered the 2019 NBA Draft and was selected by the Chicago Bulls. His professional career has since taken him to the Washington Wizards and the Dallas Mavericks, where he played a key role in their 2024 NBA Finals run.
Despite his achievements, Daniel remains deeply connected to his roots and focused on giving back. Through The Gaff House Foundation, he supports youth, families, and underserved communities with education, mentorship, and sports programs. Daniel’s mission is to use his platform to uplift others, guided by the core values of faith, family, hard work, and heart. He believes in being a role model both on and off the court, inspiring the next generation to dream big and work even harder.
“My goal is to be a role model on and off the court, and to use what I’ve been given to help lift others up—especially kids who remind me of who I was growing up."
