TheGlove in theClutch on Jordan with a game winning steal...highlights like that are rarely seen against MJ & that's a testament to GP's greatness as a fearless 1on1 defender, in every clutch situation he's ever been in on D he always guarded the go-to guy

[@nymphopath9816]

Agreed. I seen Payton play live in 2000 Olympics, versus Australian team. They had a breakaway layup in transition, and Gary SPRINTED from halfcourt covering SO MUCH GROUND to catch up to the PG on the open fast break, and just as the PG went to lay the ball up, Payton STRIPPED the SHIT out of him! The PG was astonished and layed up AIR, as Gary had swiped the ball clean out of his hands from behind. At that moment, I realized how FUCKING BRILLIANT Payton really is! Had privilege's to see Payton, Kidd and Vince Carter play. Up close and personal, the DEFENSE of Payton is something else. From the front row, it makes me realize how HARD it is to play against these guys. (Now I know why scouts helped Sonics draft Payton as 2nd Pick, primarily for DEFENSE. This guy Gary is a SUPERSTAR!)

[@Armando316]

Payton would be looked at different had he been able to get a ring earlier in his career. He was a special talent.

[@pacejames7115]

He does have a ring

[@philipconte5732]

There was no MJ in the way in 94 when Seattle was the overall #1 seed with the best record in the league and the chip was there on a platter waiting for them. That was their best chance and the year they should’ve done it but we all know what happened. For some reason they couldn’t get out of their own way in the playoffs those 2 years where MJ wasn’t a factor and then they finally get it together just in time for him to be back with a vengeance and formed the most unbeatable team in nba history. Ugh.. great timing Sonics

@@to3sted248 Easily top 5. Name another PG who could give you 20-25 points, 10 assists and slow down MJ on the defensive side. Gary being the best 1-on-1 defender of MJ in that era instantly makes him top 5. If not in relation to helping you team win a championship in that era, what else really matters when ranking these players?

[@legoman911]

Payton was the man in Seattle alongside Kemp and Schrempf, but he didn’t have enough for MJ

[@HondaAccordPerformance]

Bulls had 3 hall of famers and a super team of sorts. If the Sonics had one more superstar player things could have been different.

[@amare1cro]

A rare loss in that 72-10 season for the Bulls. There is no Dennis, i guess he was suspended. He ofc was the key to the finals, after Gary started hounding Michael into 6-19 shooting performances. Too bad that the Sonics lost mcMillan to injury and went down 0-3 before GP, his ankle also hurt, stepped up and DEMANDED to guard Mike, after which they nearly tied up the series. It would be unrealistic to expect a team with MJ to lose a 3-0 lead, but still..... No matter how great Mike is and how watered down the competition was in the 90s compared to the 80s, i think a 4/6 finals would be a more realistic outcome, had the Suns not taken an equally slow start to their 1993 series and had Utah closed out some of the damn games in their b2b finals. So if the Suns take game 2 as they should have, we might have a diff scenario: 1991 Bulls 1992 Bulls 1993 Suns 4-3 Bulls - Mike doesnt retire 1994 Bulls 4-2 Rockets -Mj retires now 1995 Rockets 4-2 Magic 1996 Sonics 4-3 Knicks -Mj comes back 1997 Jazz 4-2 Bulls 1998 Bulls 4-2 Jazz No breakup or last dance 1999 Bulls 4-1 over Spurs in a lockout season 2000 Bulls 4-2 over Lakers, Dennis contains Shaq with his mind games Mike retires 2001 Lakers over Sixers.... and so on, like IRL.

[@rafaelmeza725]

[@jjwhat260]

I like what you said and I feel like gp and sk were an under rated duo but the bulls didn't have any big men to dominate the offensive end and no big men to stop gps easy drives to the rim until Dennis. Pippen was a dominant player but I didn't see too many of his highlights in this one.

[@seveneleve7-11]

Jordan could have won the 1996 Finals with a sweep, but he wanted to finish up the series on Father's Day

Strange to not see any flopping, was this really the NBA? I heard they protected the greatest player ever, they gave him all the calls.

[@lamefart8831]

That's just the revisionist version. MJ has been underappreciated to uplift the poster boy of the current cupcake league. Of the 3; MJ, Kobe, and LBJ, MJ got the most foul called against him in the same amount of games. LBJ the least. Heck everytime LBJ lowers his shoulder and bulldoze his way into the midsection of his defender he should be called an offensive foul! Queen flopper.
