Creative NBA free-agent announcements are becoming all the rage nowadays. LeBron James went from a televised special to a more subdued Sports Illustrated essay. Kevin Durant copied that style in his “My Next Chapter” article in The Players’ Tribune. Others have simply tweeted out the decision or made us wait 68 seconds in a lightly produced YouTube video.

Gordon Hayward is next up on that list. As Jazz, Celtics, and Heat fans wait for his July 4 announcement, we posed the following question to the world: How would you announce your highly anticipated free-agent decision?
