Gordon Hayward is the goofy ass white dude that has led the Butler Bulldogs to the National Championship. Hayward is the epitome of Indiana basketball: 6'9, skinny, white, and a natural shooter. Homeboy looks like he's straight out of the movie Hoosiers. Anyway, I have watched only a couple of Butler games this year and he stands out every time. If you watched the Michigan State game last night you would see why he is so special. Everytime there was a critical possession Hayward would grab the ball from the point guard at the top of the key, shake his defender, and as Bill Raftery would say "TAKE IT TO THE TIN!" (By the way I was bitterly disappointed Raftery and Gus Johnson weren't the commentators for the game because Clark Kellogg is boring as fuck). Now I know last night wasn't his best shooting performance but Hayward did everything for his team to win. With Andy Samberg's identical twin (Matt Howard) out most of the game due to foul trouble, Hayward grabbed all of the critical boards at the end of the game. Hayward was also cool as shit after the game by just sticking his hand up with a sly look on his face while the team went nuts. In my opinion, Hayward is one of the best all-around players in the country and I look forward to him taking on the Dookies.
