    Gordon Hayward dropped his most points in a game versus the Hawks on January 6, 2021, with 44 points.

    Great to have money,and pursue things like Bean Bryant.

    Gordon Hayward, who first rose to national prominence with a 2010 run to the NCAA championship game and has since played for four NBA teams, is now a free agent in the truest sense of the term. And he has exclusively revealed to IndieWire that his next step is playing a more active role in his and partner Simon Hacker‘s production company, Whiskey Creek. That now includes the launch of a distribution arm, as announced on Thursday, with the intent to theatrically release independent films.

    He was better than thought he would be, but ultimately a non-factor. He sank the Jazz like an anchor and that is what mattered most.

    He'll always be remembered as a "what if". What if he'd never had that ghastly injury in his first game as a Celtic?

    Most importantly, what if he'd hit that half court shot against Duke? He was an inch away from having the most iconic college basketball play of all time.

    At least he had the facial features of Kobe Bean.

    Paul George is the last active player from the 2010 draft, which is fewer than 2009, 2008, and 2007 as of this post.

    Many of us from Indianapolis will never forget that shot.

    We also won't forget the much closer in shot Hayward had 4 seconds earlier.

    We also won't forget Shelvin Mack's cramps that plagued him the whole game and destroyed his offensive rhythm.

    I grew up in the neighborhood where Butler is located. Sledding on "Butler Hill" during winter and playing tennis on their courts were a part of my teenage experiences.

    Plus, I absolutely hated Duke!
