Former 10-year vet turned NBA analyst Greg Anthony –

Everyone’s favorite talking head, Stephen A. Smith –
Gordon Hayward goes down with 6:45 left in 1st. I don't need a doctor to tell me his season is over. Players walked away b/c they couldn't

And Barstool Sports capturing Dwyane Wade reacting the way we all did after seeing that.
