Gordon Hayward was raised with his twin sister in the small town of Brownsburg, by his parents Jody and Gordon Scott Hayward. When he was only five years old, he showed that he was interested in basketball, so his father played with him every day before he would go to school. He attended Brownsburg High School, and played basketball there, as a senior being named to the first team All-State after leading the school to win the Indiana Class 4A state championship.
Upon matriculation, he enrolled in Butler University, where he continued to play basketball for the college team. He had great achievements when they won the Horizon League, so was named to the first team All-Conference as well as Horizon Newcomer of the Year, after which Gordon was selected to play with winning Team USA at the 2009 FIBA Under-19 World Championship in Auckland, New Zealand, after which he was named to various preseason All-America teams. As a student, he was also named the MVP of the West Region, as the team participated at the National Championship game.
Gordon’s professional playing career began in 2010, when he was selected as the ninth overall pick in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz, signing a rookie contract. During his rookie season, he appeared in 72 games and averaged 5.4 points per game, and in the following season, he was chosen to play in the Rising Stars Challenge for Team Chuck, which took a victory with Gordon scoring 14 points.
When the 2013-2014 season ended he became a free agent, and in no time he signed a contract worth $63 million with the Jazz over the next four years, which added a considerable amount to his net worth. He continued to line up successes, and two years later was named to the NBA All-Star Game in 2017.
To speak further about his career, in July 2017 Gordon signed a contract worth $128 million with the Boston Celtics for the next four years, increasing his net worth by a large margin. In his first season with the team, he suffered a hard leg injury and went to surgery, and is currently recovering.
Regarding his personal life, Gordon Hayward has been married to Robyn Hayward since 2014; the couple has two daughters together. He is also a very good tennis player – even considering professionalism over basketball before a growing spurt in his teens – and in his spare time, he competes in the IGN Pro League, playing such video games as “Clash Royale”, “League Of Legends”, and “StarCraft II”.
