Earlier this week, Gordon Hayward published a blog post on why he’s thrilled to be back with the Utah Jazz—and ever since, Jazz Nation has been showing Gordon that Salt Lake City is every bit the basketball-crazed town No. 20 has come to love.
Utah fans commented en masse on the post and also took to Twitter and Facebook to welcome G-Time back to SLC. Here are some of the highlights, from reporters and fans alike, of the reaction to Gordon’s letter.
Great stuff @gordonhayward, welcome back! #JazzFamily - Back Where I Began http://t.co/ZPPkdh6iVc

Sad @gordonhayward wouldn't write a "Blinking back to my Protoss homebase" essay with me, but his own letter is good: http://t.co/aYPkHU3zCu

Great letter from @gordonhayward It won't get recognized like LBJ's letter but it means just as much to Jazz Nation. http://t.co/3IJDsn7JLI
