It's no secret that the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat are fighting to get Gordon Hayward while the Utah Jazz are fighting to keep him around. Especially after Saturday's antics, Twitter might as well have been the battle of emojis.
One of Hayward's teammates, Rudy Gobert, sent out a tweet insinuating the Heat were trash, the Celtics were -- uh -- poop, and the Jazz were ready to bring home some hardware.
That tweet inspired one fan to make a shirt out of the emojis. And, of course, Gobert just had to get his hands on one of those.

No word on whether Hayward has made his free-agent decision. But after playing his entire career with the Jazz, you know Utah fans are all hoping like Gobert that the star forward sticks around.
Or, as Gobert might say, insert mountain emoji, saxophone emoji and fingers crossed emoji here.
