Gordon Hayward got a haircut and people are freaking out

Remember little Gordon Hayward? We've practically watched him grow up. And he was as awkward as the rest of us were in high school.

When he played for Butler, he was a good-looking kid. Nothing wrong with the way he looked at all.

But with a simple haircut and a bit of facial hair, Hayward went from cute to next-level.

Safe to say that little bulldog is all grown up.

Hayward's new 'do has drawn tons of attention from across the nation. BuzzFeed wrote about it.Reporters are tracking down his barber. He's starting a hairstyle trend in Utah, where he now plays for the Jazz.

Twitter is mystified and enthralled by its perfection.

We can all agree — that haircut is a slam dunk.

Sorry.
