先前宣布退役的Gordon Hayward近期接受節目《Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz》的連線採訪，而採訪中Gordon Hayward談到自己與「世界和平」Ron Artest的交手經歷，並分享了他對自己噴垃圾話的內容。
Hayward在採訪中分享了被Ron Artest噴垃圾話一事：
「Ron Artest當時還在湖人，然後看到了我他就跟Kobe Bryant說『嘿Kob，把球給我就行，現在是Justin Bieber在守我』。」
「而這時候你又能做什麼？到時候我又該怎麼辦呢？我又能對Ron Artest說些什麼呢，你懂我的意思嗎？就像我絕對不想和那個傢伙挑起爭端一樣。」
Gordon Hayward says NBA players would target him on defense because he was white:

“[Ron Artest] is like 'Hey Kob, just throw me the ball in the post man. Look who's guarding me. I've got Bieber guarding me.'”
