Gary Payton II defensive highlights - steals, deflections, blocks

he has more defense than the whole lakers roster

@@100briancooper respect for telling the truth, which I'm sure hurts for you... I hope they improve even though I'm not a fan, it's more hype when the Lakers and LeBron's team are good in the league.

[@holyshit860]

too bad he was on the roster before

[@jayh5183]

His ability to time people's dribble is what is most impressive. He literally has seconds to read and react and he does it an extremely high level. Great pick up for the warriors

[@randomcat5262]

more like centiseconds

it becuase his reaction time is just gentically gifted😭

[@DuelioTheFoolio]

True dat but he risks the foul on sum

[@johndilig6719]

Looks like he's been watching film, and has been reading the other teams' plays. Also, very active hands, and isn't being hesitant on trying to reach for the ball (1.3 steals/game, 1.6 fouls/game. both career highs).

[@oscarwong4201]

@@DuelioTheFoolio well no highlights without risks, and I think he does it consistently enough that it’s worth the risks

I can watch him play defense the whole day. His defense is as entertaining as Curry's offensive highlights.

Gary Payton 2's defense could be the secret sauce that makes the Warriors win the Championship. One clutch defensive play can change the outcome of a game. One game can change the outcome of a series and that series can decide who wins a Championship. Warriors should give him a 5+yr contract.

[@johndilig6719]

checking GP2's stats in basketball-reference, his numbers are at their career highs while still on bench minutes (16.8 mp/g this season at the writing of this comment). He's been a great addition to the 2nd team, and a bargain for the Warriors, that's definitely still a title contender.
