Gordon Hayward on Celtics Win, Hornets Sale, Retirement Plans

  • Gordon Hayward retired from basketball after 14 seasons in the NBA.
  • He talks Michael Jordan, the Celtics, and his retirement plans on this episode of Front Office Sports Today.
Alonzo Adams-USA TODAY Sports

Gordon Hayward retired from the NBA after last season. He joins the show to discuss playing for the Charlotte Hornets while Michael Jordan sold the team, watching another former team, the Celtics, win an NBA championship, and his plans for his post-playing career.

Plus, UNLV quarterback Matthew Sluka stepped away from the team, citing unfulfilled “commitments.” He leaves as many questions as answers and a program that started strong in a suddenly tenuous position.

Also, Kansas City Current president Raven Jemison joins the show to discuss what it’s meant for her team to play in the first soccer stadium built for a women’s team, and the intense pressure to succeed and grow in the NWSL.
