Wow this is amazing, you can tell he's a real fan, not just using the community to propel his own fame. Too bad the Jazz suck, maybe they can trade him to a real team.

The Jazz made the playoffs after losing their hall of fame coach and most of their starting lineup. Since they moved to Utah they have averaged the second worst first round pick after the Lakers. Second best franchise over the last 25 years and you go crap all over Gordons team? Nice...


Second best?

Chicago/LA are obviously #1/#2 in some order, Boston is up there as well... San Antonio has done way better than Utah. Portland and Houston as well. I'd also argue Orlando is ahead (though it's more debatable). Not sure how Utah is up there.

And just because they were good during the Stockton/Mailman days (when Malone inexplicably won an MVP award too) doesn't mean they're good now.

Sure I like Gordon Hayward but let's not get carried away saying they're gonna be a good team anytime soon... they (somewhat forcibly) dumped their star player last season and got a great haul, especially because New Jersey is shit. The Jazz won't get the pick this season though because it is lottery-protected... so yeah.

They definitely overachieved but they're not really that great nor are they in a growing phase, they really need new talent in order to be competitive.
Chicago went ages without getting to the playoffs. Look at the average, not the best couple years. All I am saying is that they made the playoffs this year led by a second round pick (Millsap) and aand they a chronically injured pickup, and thats pretty amazing. Kanter is barely 20 and has HUGE upside potential, so does Favors. Obviously they didn't win a championship and probably won't soon, but bagging on them and saying Gordan can do better is just not right

Would've like to have seen a little spotlight on competitive starcraft, maybe some shots from IPL or MLG showing the crowd and getting to hear the casters.

I liked his thoughts in the video. He sounded like he really appreciated how hard the pros work at this game just like he does in bball. :D

As a basketball and Starcraft fan this is pretty awesome! And as a Spurs fan I'm especially grateful for letting us kick Utah's ass :p

Good guy, really improved from last year. Streaky shooter, jumper just wasn't there in the playoffs.

Nice to see the clip though.

Would like if the Mavs could pick him up. Playing together with Deron Williams and Dirk, not a bad future :D

I always thought Hayward was a solid player on the Jazz. But it's awesome that this go onto TV. It's pretty cool to see people like Hayward and Daryl Morey (General Manager of the Houston Rockets) give props to StarCraft 2 and the competitive video game scene in general.

Also, it's good to see the Jazz doing so well without Jerry Sloan coaching and Deron Williams.

Oh I agree with what you're saying then. I don't think Gordon should be leaving, especially since he's not exactly an NBA star himself. But the Jazz really need some work before they get better. And yeah that was kind of tasteless.
