Nerd Baller: Gordon Hayward

xbox or ps3? By the way whats his online name?

Xbox 360. I believe his tag was GoGettem8 or something similar to that. Normally I don't hand out celeb gaming tags but there you go haha.

And for the record, I've never ripped AK for playing video games like WoW...that's a pretty sad excuse for anyone to use for his production. Plus all these guys play video games all the time...Millsap, Brewer, Korver and Matthews still play CoD, Madden, etc. all the time with each other and they play A LOT. That's what a lot of these guys do during their free time....to think that it has something to do with their production though...that's pretty sad.

Yes, 100%. But that hasn't stopped a lot of people from suggesting that very thing. It never ceases to amaze me how people will make connections between two completely unrelated events.

We're failing to point out that WoW is a much more dangerously addicting and consuming game than Starcraft. I'm sure you Starcraft lovers will disagree, but there's a reason they make documentaries specifically about WoW.

I'm not trying to be funny - when someone permanently tattoos a giant WoW dragon on their back, and talks about playing the game every chance they get, you know there's a problem. Did any of you catch the recent interview with Masha K. on the news? She pointed out how basketball used to be everything to AK, until an "incident a few years ago in the playoffs" where he had the realization that basketball wasn't everything and has since not taken it so seriously.

I mean, I think that can be a good thing. It's a job, and it really shouldn't consume these guys' lives. But you never want to consider the possibility that a player is more consumed by a video game than they are loyal to the game and team you love and cheer for.

Koreans would like to have a word with you about how addictive Starcraft is.
