TOP 5 SERIES: 3 Reasons GARY PAYTON Had To Ring Chase! Stunted Growth

[@stuntedgrowth]

Should older top tier NBA players be allowed to ring chase at the end of their career?

[@KhiryTheKonqueror]

Yes that was his only option I gave them passes

Yes. Especially if they have been a franchise player for multiple years and the team ain't put shit around him Ala KG. How would we look at KG if he had 3-4 rings instead of one

[@AguilaDeOnix85]

Yeah, especially guys in the 90s. Chicago and Houston ran shit in the heart of it (1991-1998), Detroit was in its last year of its peak (1990), and the Spurs were just beginning (1999). What are you gonna do lol

I was happy Gary Payton got that ring. He was so great that not having a ring wouldve been a travesty. Nobody ever guarded Jordan better than The Glove, not even Mad Max.

[@terrancewoods3463]

Joe Dumars

[@alecsanderhamilton9224]

I know. Stupid ass Rockets fans think Mad Max was even top 15 or 20 SG foes vs M.J. Dumars, Starks, GP , R all way better foes vs M.J. than Mad Max. Nd we only mention these guards is because they were on the defensive vs Mike. They were never meant to or never could outscore M.J. so they had to work non stop on D vs him. Nd thus why they even have a category to fall under as, "Jordan checkers." They were never "Stoppers." Guards like Reggie Miller, Allan Houston, Sidney Moncrief, Drexler, Richmond could actually make Jordan work on both ends. So by the time Mad Max is even worth mentioning, there are so many SGs that were on Mike's radar b4 little pathetic Mad Maxine.
