What's new
By:

Jazz team is a big old family

Burke has a one year old child, too.

NBA players have almost no time for their family during the season, what with all their games, practices, film sessions, rehab & recovery sessions, etc, etc, half of which happen on the road. It was something cited by Hornacek when the Jazz wanted him to be a full-time coach when he first retired, but he declined - he wanted to make up for all the family time he'd missed during his career. So I have zero issues with guys who are fathers putting their kids first during off-season.
 
The gang is all there, at the Jazz game, laughing and ribbing the new guys a bit. Hood gets a steal, motors to the other end of the floor, finds an open man, then get the board and drains an 18 foot floater. The bench, and all the Jazz guys goes nuts. Faves on his feet, high fiving Gobert, then Neto. Yelling at Hood as he runs back upcourt.

Favors feels the vibration as a text hit his phone:

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Favors takes out his cell, thumbs the password.

Hayward: Hey buddy, that last play was awesome!
Favors: Yeah booooiiiiii!
Hayward: Let Hood know I'm expecting that out of him all season
Favors: Trust me, he knows that from all of us. Gonna be awesome this year.
Hayward: Wish I could be there. The camera keeps showing you guys together.
Favors: Nah, you got that wrong bro. You where you need to be. How's she doing? She a Rocky Mountain Review fan yet?
Hayward: Yeah I guess. She dumped a load on that last dunk from Cooley. I'm trying to get out of changing the diaper now. :)
Favors: Yeah. You gotta get your hands dirty sometime. LOL
Hayward: Yeah, don't I know it. Say hi to errbody for me.
Favors: You got it.




See, Hayward is part of the family.
 
I just can't get around all this BS. A guy who's job is based on pure exercise, who travels to 41 different places a year, gets around a 4 month vacation and makes $15M for it? And the poor little baby face had a child so he has to take care of him and not go to that 2nd class SL minor thing because you know, he ain't got nobody that can take care of home duties while he gives an example of class and support to guys who are fighting to have a career of their own. Jesus Christ, tell me something I can feel sorry about Hayward for.

With this said, he's a very good player and he's on our beloved Jazz. I wish nothing but success for Hayward in his career as this would help the team, but he comes through as a brat.
 
I don't think he needs sympathy. And now silence is bratty? Wow you're a douche.

I hope you never have a family because you come through as someone with messed up priorities. Hayward showed first class commitment to both his team and his personal fitness last year. Sitting on the bench at a summer league game is just not that important. You are blowing this way out of proportion. Do you hold yourself to anywhere near the same standard you are holding Gordon to?
 
I can't imagine possibly giving a **** less about a guy not coming to watch a summer league game.
 
We sittin here, he's 'posed to be franchise playa.. and we in here talkin bout summer league? Not a game!

Summer league?
