Superstar Push for Gordon Hayward

[NatiboyB]

I know I don't usually post hot takes but am I the only one who feels that Gordon Hayward will receive a massive star push while he is a Celtic? He fits the image of everything they have been looking for since Bird and it is Boston after all.

But hey I could be wrong but I wouldn't be shocked if Kyrie ended up being known as the second star or wingman even though he is clearly more talented this time around.

They can push it all they want, he's not a superstar.

This is one of the bigger boogeyman hot takes the Coli has, that somehow the NBA will go through great lengths to assure themselves of a white star and that Boston will give Hayward that push to make the Celics higher than 3rd in that city

 

[Depreciating Asset]

That 'push' lasted about 10 minutes . It's Kyrie's show now. I bet Gordon thought he was about to get all the love. He thought his wife's tweets would stay on the front page. Nope.

Y'all gonna try hard to push this narrative huh?

He wasn't even more popular in an even whiter city Utah then a 8 foot tall black French man with a bad part

Celtics are fourth in the city. Patriots, Red So, and Bruins have stronger fan-bases in Boston and New England.

Bruins and Celtics go back and forth but when both are good the C's get the edge. Historically, the Bruins got more love though

You nba stand should be happy instead of bytching. Good white player makes for better entertainment. Don't let Hayward give bron that work next May

He's gonna ball out in Boston. Top 5 SF right now anyways.

He already plays like one, the only thing holding his numbers back was the pace of the system in which he played in.
If PG and Jimmy are considered superstars then Hayward is definitely one already.

To me superstars are the likes of Harden, Russ, Kawhi, KD, Lebron, etc, so we'd have to wait and see

Depends on who you're classifying as a SF:

LeBron
Durant
Kawhi
Giannis (could be a PF depending on Parker)
Jimmy (Wiggins is a 2)
George
Hayward

He's definitely right there with Jimmy and George although he's never been at their level defensively (not that it matters, the coli disregards defense). We'll see what Stevens does for his offense.
