Gordon Hayward Says Lane Violation In Kobe Bryant's Final Game Was Unintentional

[RealGM Wiretap]

Gordon Hayward took to Twitter to clear up a story about his lane violation late in the fourth quarter of Kobe Bryant's final game in 2016. The Lakers beat the Jazz 101-96 in the game. 

Mike Tirico recalled Hayward stepping into the lane on purpose as Bryant shot his second free throw to potentially score his 60th point of the game to ensure that Bryant would get another free throw if he had missed.

Hayward said his lane violation was unintentional. 

"It has also come to my attention that there is a story going around tonight about an intentional lane violation that I took to ensure Kobe would get his 60th point in his final game and many are applauding me for the gesture. The fact of the matter is that is not true," tweeted Hayward, who finished with 17 points in the game.

Hayward added that he didn't give Bryant anything for free during the game.

"He got 60 on me and I didn't give him anything free all night. What happened on the free throw line was not intentional. Kobe would have lost respect for me if I gave him something free. That’s what made him so very special!"

It is because ESPN like its sister network ABC is all owned by Disney and part of the FAKE NEWS MAFIA alongside NBC, MSNBC, CNN, CBS and Bloomberg all colluding with reporting of phony stories, phony facts and rumors to promote their anti-Trump agenda and sellout America's hard earned sovereignty to the globalists. They can't stand that America finally has a President who puts Americans and not illegals and global elites first. A President who is not afraid to speak his mind and call out the rigged system for what it is. They are threatened so they fight back with lies and this hoax impeachment but don't worry the voters have made up their minds and they want to keep America Great so expect Trump 2020 to be a slam dunk.

Dude get therapy. Seriously. What the hell are you talking about? How does Hayward and Kobe relate to politics? Even your response to the post above, totally no link. You seriously need to talk to someone about what's on your mind. Maybe a friend or neighbour or even a professional? What I'm trying to say is that you clearly want to talk to someone about something specific and you have no one to talk to hence you're here talking about it on a basketball forum. Get help..

You’re deranged. And what crooked trump stands for is the complete anti thesis of love, honour and honesty.

People like you are real life stupid. Presidents have had racially influential undertones as long as there has been an america. We don't like trump because he behaves like a petulant child. I honestly think he has mental issues.

Gordon Hayward a young boy, but he spot on ryecheer. Kobe for sure would have lost mad respect for him if he felt he was being 'gifted' anything.

Love him or hate him, Kobe knew respect is earned

You and the Democrat scumbags are the ones who need the real therapy forcing this phony impeachment and senate trial because you want to erase the results of the 2016 US election and the democratic choice of nearly half the country. It is you people who are really sick and need help for thinking that smoking mess Hillary was a viable Presidential candidate. Last I checked she couldn't satisfy her husband so how in the world was she going to satisfy the country? Answer that ROFL.

You can say the same about Obama who looked America in the eye on national tv and said Obamacare meant people would get to "keep their doctor and keep their plans". A bigger lie than anything Trump has done. And Lmfao didn't Obama accept a token Nobel Prize where in his acceptance speech he said he will let America continue fighting in wars both in the present and the future because world peace is not a feasible solution no matter how much is preached. And lol Obama put illegal migrant families and children in cages long before Trump so eat your words.

Who tf said I’m a fan of Obama? I called him the drone president for years. Why did you even bring him up? Face it, you’ve brainlessly joined the cult of trump and you’re ignoring facts being hurled at your face. Wake up bud.

I remember you for being such a MAGA MURICA kind of weirdo.

No, he didnt. There were very very limited instances of that. Stop spilling out bs.

[Risk Addict]

Guys Sam is a sock puppet account. They copy and paste this propaganda on any forum. It’s not a real person. No need to argue. That’s why there is no relevance of his statements to anything said by other posters or the article. It’s all scripted BS.

Just ignore these posts. Don’t engage.
