Gordon Hayward made some bold statements during one of his blog posts. The Utah Jazz forward claimed that he was the best player in the game…video games, that is. He stated that he could not only take on LeBron, but Blake Griffin, and Kevin Durant. Hit the jump for details.
Via For The Win:
My name is Gordon Hayward, spelled with a G. And I am the best player in the game today.
Go back and read that sentence again in case you think you misread it. You didn’t.
It may come as a shock to read me saying something like this because most of you see me as pretty humble. And 99.9% of the time, I am.
This is different.
I know this sounds like bragging. That’s because it is. I’m so confident in my abilities that I would put money on myself, hypothetically speaking.
One on one versus LeBron James? He would get crushed. We would all be witnesses to a straight up annihilation.
The reigning MVP, Kevin Durant? I’m LOLing. Go ahead and put him with Russell Westbrook. Throw Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard in there, just for kicks. They’d still have no chance.
Honestly, take any five NBA players you want and put them on the same squad. It doesn’t really matter. I’d beat them all. It would be like playing a bunch of kindergartners.
I repeat: I’m the best in the game. And probably in all the other major sports, too.”
You gotta love his confidence!
