Gary Payton Talks Dale Ellis Xavier McDaniel Friction (1990-91 Season)

[@tdozzy991]

I dont believe alot of people realize how good of a player Gary Payton was.

[@509er5]

He was a mouthy show stoppin, game changing, lockdown and probably the best to do it!!

[@ericesch5710]

You punch a man with his child in his hands, expect to get your teeth knocked out.

[@kennethhenson8240]

I must agree

[@kbaltazard8830]

Gary Payton is a legend

Well I'm going to snitch on Gary Payton. Back in the 90s, there was a pool hall called Jillian's in Westlake. I saw Gary Payton playing there. And this white guy went up to Gary in the middle of him playing to tell him how much of a fan he was. And Gary responded back by cussing him out because he was concentrating on playing. The poor guy walked out practically in tears. From that point, I really didn't have any respect for Gary Payton. I don't care how good you are. That was just uncalled for. Now Sam Perkins. That's a real cool dude. I even talked to him on the air when he guest DJ'd on KUBE93. Someone I knew back in the day who did janitorial for the Seattle Center said that Sam invited him to smoke a phat blunt with him in the locker room. So jealous.

[@509er5]

Jillian’s...now that’s turning the time back! Big Smooth was the shit!

[@islandbee]

@@509er5 - Loved that cat!

[@509er5]

@@islandbee that team was deep all around. Big Smooth I swear lacks the recognition as a 3pt big man. He was just an all around cool cat! I can’t still hear Kevin Callabro in my head to this day yelling Into the mic

😂 I always said Perkins looks like he's constantly smoking a fat joint and he literally was

[@FuShengAlex]

​@@509er5 Rockets fan here but Perkins was a big reason they couldn't beat the Sonics those years. Unlike all the other Centers in the league those years Dream had to come out to the 3pt line on D a lot more than he would've liked to.

[@kar5431]

Imagine Payton, Ellis, X-man and Kemp on the same squad.

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. Say it: "Dale........Ellis!"

[@kc6442]

That's the shit seeing them 2 Seattle Legends jerseys, hanging on the wall back there.

[@edscottable]

X caught Dale out in that parking lot and slammed him on the hood of every vehicle out there.

[@FuShengAlex]

Shawn Kemp on how that altercation turned out: "I'll tell you this.....I bet Dale Ellis never got into another fight again" 😂😂

[@RampartPh]

Sonics was one of my fave teams as a kid. Does that city still has a market for a nba team?

[@4444pro]

Xman was the toughest mentality

[@kar5431]

Fun fact. Dale Ellis wife and Alton Lister wife had a few altercations.

[@steveaitch729]

the sonics were a joy to watch. i called Seattle home during the 80s. the city can and would support another team. #GOHAWKS

[@Covert_Smalls]

2:53 “The next day, Dale got traded.” What is GP talking about? The brawl was in Nov 1990 and Dale was traded to Milwaukee three months later in Feb

[@509er5]

GP!! Much 206 love to that Seattle squad!

[@tadesewalker161]

Every signature is a bag.....

[@eboooo]

Gary's left handed who knew

[@againstthemajority6659]

Is it just me or do some of the best right hand dominant players sign autographs with their left hand

[@hirolla74]

Russell Westbrook and Larry Bird are both ambidextrous. Funny thing about Westbrook is, he does everything lefthanded but he shoots the ball better right handed. Amazing.

[@mikeTomas3128]

@@hirolla74 same with lebron

[@earlem9771]

@@hirolla74 Same with Lamelo Ball. He is actually left-handed, but he was trained to shoot right-handed.

[@j12997967]

@@hirolla74 Can't speak for world-class athletes, but my workout routine is running hook shots from both sides of the paint and I'm often much more consistent with my left hand, despite being right-handed. It feels like there are fewer things to interfere with the muscle-memory for the arm I don't use for much and so it's easier to find the groove.

[@Lawomenshoops]

I thought X got traded first, because Ellis was injured.

[@islandbee]

The trades: Dale Ellis for Ricky Pierce X-Man for Eddie Johnson Derrick McKey for Detlef Schrempf Sedale Threat for ????

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

Sedale (King Tut) Threatt for three second round picks. A steal for the Lakers

[@Curtchrisdagod]

Who did they trade Tom Chambers and Jack Sikma for?

[@islandbee]

@@Curtchrisdagod - I forget. But, I think Tom Chambers may have been the pick for Derrick McKey in the draft.

[@Curtchrisdagod]

@@islandbee I just found out that that Chambers left as a free agent (he was the first ever free agent in NBA). I still don't know about Sikma though.

[@chriswahl4139]

Sikma was dealt for Alton Lister

[@IG-kn6ne]

Let's goooo!

[@Nomorehats]

This is crazy. Can't believe he told this story. Shouts to GP for snitching man. I guess you need to be a HOFer with G14 classification to get away with telling the truth. Stories like these are real and I'm glad I know a little bit more & have another piece of the puzzle. If those guys can let bygones be bygones I gotta kill all my beef. None of those dudes hit me while I was carrying my baby 😂

[@Fakename70]

It’s definitely a local legend of a story. The way I remember hearing it, even the wives were involved. Or, that might’ve been a different fight altogether.

[@Kitu74]

Anybody in the comments who is your favorite Sonic ? Gus Williams was my favorite.

Ya, he had a driving lefty scoop layup over Charles Barkley to win game 6 of the 1997 WC semi-finals against the Rockets.

[@Willrich202000]

@@chron151 not trying to be a jerk but I’m genuinely not sure if u know this. In the nba, all nba players are able to layup with both hands around the basket. It’s considered fundamental so that situation would be used to determine a persons dexterity but not their dominant hand
