Gustavo Alfonso Ayón Aguirre (born April 1, 1985) is a Mexican professional basketball player who plays for Real Madrid of the Liga ACB. He also represents the Mexican national basketball team in the international competitions. Standing at 6 ft 10 in (2.08 m), he plays at the center and power forward positions.
Ayón attended Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla in Mexico for three years of college. He was named Most Valuable Player of the Mexican national college championship tournament in leading the team to the championship. Following this season, he signed with NCAA Division I San Jose State University. However, Ayón never played for the Spartans, instead choosing to sign with a Mexican professional team, Halcones UV Xalapa.
In the 2006 season, Ayón saw some action off the bench for Halcones UV Xalapa as the team finished second in the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional. Ayón cracked the starting lineup the following season and eventually led Halcones to back-to-back Mexican league titles in 2007–08 and 2008–09. He averaged 10.2 points and 8.1 rebounds per game in 2007–08 and improved on that by averaging 13.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game the following season. In what turned out to be his final game for the team, Ayón turned in a dominant, 24-point, 20-rebound, performance in leading his club to a 94–90 overtime victory over Soles de Mexicali that clinched their second consecutive league title.
When Real Madrid's Gustavo Ayon won the Euroleague title last spring, it was the culmination of a remarkable journey for the 30-year old center. Just 12 years before lifting that trophy as champion of a far-away continent, Ayon had never played basketball beyond his home village of Zapotan, Mexico.

The goose is loose! Gustavo Ayon has been thrust into the starting role in the absence of any other centers on the Hawks' roster. He's not a bad player, but he's not really a threat to score from anywhere outside the paint. And even there it's not a sure thing. His real value lies in his passing ability, which is very good for a dude his size. But that one above-average aspect of his game doesn't explain why he was traded for Ryan Anderson. That trade baffled me when it happened and it baffles me now. I probably have a higher opinion of Ayon than most people and it still makes no sense. All clips property of the NBA.
