Sonny na unless you're from seattle like me and everyone does praise him for being one of the best of his time imagine if the sonics hadnt lost to the bulls during 96
***** Look Tony Starks; this is Method Man breakin it down for you. 1988 Isiah 4 Jordan 1 = Beatdown 1989 Isiah 4 Jordan 2 = Beatdown 1990 Isiah 4 Jordan 3 = Beatdown 1991 Isiah 0 Jordan 4 = Luck
Jonathan Blaze It wasn't until constant bitching from jordan about "dirty" plays to the refs from the Bad Boys year after year after getting destroyed that they changed rules to accommodate Jordan. The year after when they swept the Pistons Isiash and Dumars were injured.

My god were NBA jerseys pretty in the 90s. Those purple Jazz, suns, horse pistons...the spurs court! I mean that is straight swag. Hate the uniforms of today, so boring.
As a Jazz fan I have to say the mountain jerseys and the black alternates were the best and they should just bring them back instead of the navy blue they wear today

The description of the video talks about Gary Payton as a player with a great defensive prowess, but at this video we also can see that his game was full of magic. Those assists are amazing.
It's weird his defense is talked about so much that it almost makes his offense extremely underrated. He carried the Sonics whether it was passing or scoring offensively.
I remember learning about The Glove when watching Shawn Kemp in the 90s and asking who keeps throwing all those lobs at him. Next thing you know I'm watching him on the Dream Team at Atlanta and now he's doing it to all of them. Big defense. Big clutch. Big-time passes. Big fan.
0:49 was #1 great vid and awesome highlights, but that shot and then the high glass LEFTY lay up in traffic were two of the clutchest shots of The Glove's career. Kept Miami alive and D-Wade took care of the rest. What a series! Thank you GP #20
Unlike green. That tries to be a trash talker. Especially towards legends off court. Green needs to get his ass taught a lesson. He thinks hr can back it up cuz he literally has back up from curry and klay. Unlike payton and mj theyre game spoke for it self. Not just wins but wins with stats
All time 2-way players 1st Team (DT = All Defensive 1st team, DPOTY = Defensive player of the year): PG: Gary Payton (the only guy that could really give Jordan issues. 9 DT, 1 DPOTY which is crazy for a PG) SG: Michael Jordan (I needn't say a word about him. 9 DT, 1 DPOTY) SF: Scottie Pippen (Elite defender, MJ's partner in crime. 8 DT) PF: Tim Duncan (The GOAT PF, and still to this day an elite shot blocker. 8 DT) C: Hakeem Olajawun (IMO the best all-around center ever to play, 5 DT 2 DPOTY) 2nd Team: PG: Magic Johnson (the best all-around player in history of the sport. Somehow never made a defensive team despite 1.9 SPG SG: Kobe Bryant (his defense will forever be underrated. 9 DT) SF: LeBron James (when he's locked in, he's the best wing defender in hoops right now. Somehow hasn't won a DPOTY yet. 6 DT) PF: Kevin Garnett (A slightly better defender than Duncan in their primes, but less offensive tools, and hasn't aged as well. Still has 12 DT and 1 DPOTY which is insanity) C: Dwight Howard (As sickened as I feel to put him over them, way better offense than Mutombo and Russell gives Howard the edge. 4 DT, 3 DPOTY)
Magic was only an average defender, despite his high steal numbers. His height gave the Lakers opportunities to put him on the opponent's weaker scorers, no matter their position. I can't see having Dwight over plenty of other centers, the first coming to mind being Abdul-Jabbar.
Jesus Alcala Curry absolutely!He would lock him up so bad Curry would cry after the game. Westbrook very possible, healthy Rose would be difficult, nowadays half injured Rose would be held down under 15 with ease. If he he could stop KOBE, he could stop anybody nowadays.
You said KB has trouble guarding him and I'm saying he has trouble guarding Westbrook! So I think Westbrook can take GP he's faster stronger and more athletic
the glove, the rain man, the grand teuton, big smooth, that was a good team and the duo of the glove and the rain man was no joke. nothing but great memories
Nate Davis Except Orlando. MJ was still re-establishing chemistry, granted, but he had already proven he was back to his old self that year and average 31 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, and 2.5 steals in the Magic series. The issue was Orlando's basically conceded SG and SF to Jordan & Pippen while Penny, Horace Grant, and Shaq dominated the other 3 and the Bulls had nobody to guard those spots, which is why they brought in Ron Harper and Rodman later on.
Nate Davis Except you know the Celtics, The Pistons, and so on Isiah might have a lot more rings if Jordan didn't complain as much as he did. He would also have 2 gold medals
a really unique top 10 for sure. He wasn't the best shooter or scorer, but he was one of my favorites, just knew how to play the game. Heart of a lion!
Wasn't flashy like some that are talked about more, but anybody that knows the game knows...most known for that in your face defense, but he was a pretty good offense player & his post up game was just about as nasty as any other player, regardless of position. The Glove was a real one!
If you replace 90's Gary Payton with Westbrook now in OKC, Durant would have already gotten at least a ring. He wouldnt mind getting 10pts and 12-15assists a game, instead of scoring 20+pts in a losing cause. And no, all the ones you have listed are score-first point guards. They all got that one thing in common. Gary Payton would have locked down all of them defensively. GP won DPOY in an era when Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Hakeem Olajuwon & Scottie Pippen were all still in their primes.
Julius Petraitis just cause they are better doesnt make it so you cant compare them. people compare kobe to jordan when jordans better. they are both the same position wise, shawn kemp is a althetic pf and griffin is the same and they both get their points in similar ways. chris paul one of the best defenders at point guard like gary was, both throw oops, both are good all around, both are fierce competitors, both trash talk. chris pauls better than gary though, kemps better than bg. at the end of blakes career he will probably be just as good as kemp if not better. they are a very similar it more ways than not. the clippers should move to Seattle since theirs 3 freaking teams in CA and that whole donald Sterling issue.
I've watched Gary since he came into the league and hes got way more better playes than the ones you selected. Nothing should be shown in a Miami heat uniform
The funny thing is he has so many plays better than a lot of these. I actually made more than 10 highlight videos covering his time with the sonics because his legacy is so overlooked and he is so misrepresented nowadays. This is a guy who dominated the game in a way very few players have ever done (on both sides of the floor). And people (who played against and watched) John Stockton, Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash often say they'd want Gary on their team. Charles Barkley even called him the best basketball player in the world in 1999. He even came literally one play away from beating the 2 seed Utah jazz (with a terrible team around him) in the 2000 playoffs. And I think if Kemp had managed to keep focused and stay in Seattle they probably win atleast one title from 98-02, Gary probably retires a Sonic and they probably stay in Seattle. Either way, I'm happy I got to see it the way it went down.
They didnt get enough national tv coverage even if they had some games. He was very crafty with passing and defense. Quick and sly on offense. Shot pretty well and knew how to play all around basketball. Too bad Reign Man couldnt stay clean. They had a lot of good pieces in Seattle.
Samuel The Squirrel if you mean beating the sonics in the Final the' yes. but if you mean Mj destroyed Gp then you are wrong. Gp did a good Job on defending mj
Would rather Hardaway to Sprewell from the GSW days. Stockton and Malone only beat GP and Kemp in 1 series and they were really young then. Marbury to Coleman Strickland to Webber at Was 👍 Luv it
it's about time NBA puts up some highlights of The Glove ! Gotta pay respect to one of the strongest competitors of all time. he revolutionized passing in the sport
That's actually a false statement I believe bob cousy revolutionized passing he was the the first player to bring flash to the nba played in the 60s in Boston with bill russel he was way ahead of magic
not just cause stephen a said it. i knew someone was going to fireback with that. cause stephen a said it. cause lebron james is lebrick quoted by skip bayless and everyone follows and say it too? whats the difference between that?
Howard Schultz traded Payton to the Bucks for Ray Allen, then he traded the Seattle Supersonics to Oklahoma for a shi#! ton of cash. What a smart businessman, enjoy that $$$ Howie. Congrats GP on induction to Hall, long live the Glove!!!
He actually Didn't sell the supersonics the OKC douche bag owner had promised he would keep the team in Seattle, he's a fucking slime ball. Watch the 30 for 30 on it, it just shows how fucked up OKCs owner is.
Jakob Krebs I blame Howard Schultz and the Seattle politicians. It's all about money, Schultz complained that he was losing money by owning the Sonics. Rich people don't own sports teams to make money, it's a hobby for them. Schultz is really that dumb, selling to an out of town buyer, and trusting that he wouldn't move the team. Bennet is a liar, but he could do what he wanted, it's his team now. Schultz made a tidy profit from the sell, and owes the city of Seattle, but like most rich guys, only cares about himself and his money.
On the 30 for 30 they obviously claimed the stadium was the problem so Bennett proposed some ridiculous multimillion dollar stadium that would've taxed the city way too much, so Steve Balmer (current clippers owner) was like hey I'll throw 30 million to help that stadium. & Bennet fucking denied him bc it was all about moving the team, makes me sick. What's even worse is most supersonics fans I talk to mainly say "I don't wanna take someone else's team" it's pretty sad.
Always loved some Glove. He was the first guard I noticed who would jump off the wrong foot on purpose, ie, lay it up off your right foot with your right hand. Nash does it well too. Always catches people off guard.
One of the most underrated players ever. This guy deserved so much more praise than he ever got
In Washington almost everybody knows him here... And when we get the sonics back we are retiring his and Shawn Kemp's numbers
lol hes not underated
+The God Of Niggas i'm saying I don't think the media ever gave him the attention he deserved. The way they carried on about Jordan and now Lebron.
+Sonny na u mean now Curry
Sonny na unless you're from seattle like me and everyone does praise him for being one of the best of his time imagine if the sonics hadnt lost to the bulls during 96
Those old Sonics uniforms were so dope.
As opposed to the new sonics uniforms?
Too soon?
+anonomyous65 You get the biggest L in my bag of L's
+whiteflash1323 The ones without the red stripes right? Because I think you are out of your mind if you liked the red ones.
@@HawkingRegime13 95-01 Sonics uniforms were the greatest imo . Those with the red stripes actually.
Yes they were
Payton, Stockton, Hardaway, Penny, Kidd, Isiah, Magic. What a class of pgs from 80s and 90s.
Kevin Johnson was no joke too
***** So what? Bird and Bad Boys sweap MJ and he is one of the greatests
***** Not Isiah. Isiah whipped Jordan's ass year after year after year, until Jordan could finally beat a old Isiah.
***** Look Tony Starks; this is Method Man breakin it down for you.

It wasn't until constant bitching from jordan about "dirty" plays to the refs from the Bad Boys year after year after getting destroyed that they changed rules to accommodate Jordan. The year after when they swept the Pistons Isiash and Dumars were injured.
that #1 play was sick
Imagine that in a game winning situation
Jeffrey Riley Omg....Just oh my god.
Nope 2:46 was
Pop
number one was one of the greatest clutch moves I have ever seen. I can't believe he executed that pass between his legs backwards while jumping out of bounds to save the ball.
in insane!
Has to be one of the greatest assist in NBA history!
It already looks crazy, but reading the breakdown you wrote makes it even crazier.
Fantastic save and assist
Most underrated?
The Glove one of the greatest guards ever.
Those old Sonics unis are just the best!
The reason i fell in love with NBA.... Payton and Kemp and supersonics..... So many plays in NBA countdown..... Ah memories
Me too.
Detlef was another who complemented the team well....
#dagoodolddays
Just wanna be reminded on how good GP was because his son is killing the game today! 😂😁
Ong the way he played last night I had to do my research again😂😂
ikr exactly
No doubt about that.
Woooooord
Well, GP2 will never be as good as his father tho. GP was a superstar in the 90s, while GP2 is a roleplayer.
My god were NBA jerseys pretty in the 90s. Those purple Jazz, suns, horse pistons...the spurs court! I mean that is straight swag. Hate the uniforms of today, so boring.
crunchshark87 Not all of them are boring.
crunchshark87 yea, everything is too generic these days
As a Jazz fan I have to say the mountain jerseys and the black alternates were the best and they should just bring them back instead of the navy blue they wear today

Chemistry that Payton had with Kemp is something beautiful to watch. That plays was just so smooth
1:22 Shawn Kemp dunks then strikes a pose. Classic swag
Poster town
gary payton was the only player who could hang with jordan defensively
+Logan Andrews rodman?
+MZC 23 true, he locked jordan tf up when his piston bad boys days.
Penny
+Domini478 are you stupid(
Vernon Maxwell could also hang with him defensively.
the last 3 were sick!!
number 1 got me out of my seat god damn
LOLOL
this guy was the quintessential point guard. He had the dopest passes and his defense was scary good.
I remember learning about The Glove when watching Shawn Kemp in the 90s and asking who keeps throwing all those lobs at him. Next thing you know I'm watching him on the Dream Team at Atlanta and now he's doing it to all of them.
Big defense.

Big-time passes.
Big fan.
im glad to have witnessed one of these greats...im 30 and i miss that era of ball playing...
that number one though... god damn
one of the most creative and fearless players of our time. God I miss 90's basketball.
💯

Difference between Payton and other trash talkers is he could back it up.
+Jason C. To be fair, the best trash talkers back up their talk. Otherwise, we wouldn't really care or remember them.
Bird,Mj,Gp
Mj?
Unlike green. That tries to be a trash talker. Especially towards legends off court. Green needs to get his ass taught a lesson. He thinks hr can back it up cuz he literally has back up from curry and klay. Unlike payton and mj theyre game spoke for it self. Not just wins but wins with stats
Bird!
I never seen any pair better than Shawn and Gary. So much energy and speed and power.
my favorite PG ever. them 2 shots for the Heat in the finals were so clutch
I missed Seattle Supersonics...
and Ted
Fuck Schultz...
Love this video, love Gary Payton. One of the best memory of NBA 's Golden time.
Gary Payton is Legendary. This should have way more views.
Gary “Glove” Payton was so underrated. One top of the top guards of all time
All time 2-way players 1st Team (DT = All Defensive 1st team, DPOTY = Defensive player of the year):
PG: Gary Payton (the only guy that could really give Jordan issues. 9 DT, 1 DPOTY which is crazy for a PG)

SF: Scottie Pippen (Elite defender, MJ's partner in crime. 8 DT)
PF: Tim Duncan (The GOAT PF, and still to this day an elite shot blocker. 8 DT)
C: Hakeem Olajawun (IMO the best all-around center ever to play, 5 DT 2 DPOTY)
2nd Team:
PG: Magic Johnson (the best all-around player in history of the sport. Somehow never made a defensive team despite 1.9 SPG
SG: Kobe Bryant (his defense will forever be underrated. 9 DT)
SF: LeBron James (when he's locked in, he's the best wing defender in hoops right now. Somehow hasn't won a DPOTY yet. 6 DT)
PF: Kevin Garnett (A slightly better defender than Duncan in their primes, but less offensive tools, and hasn't aged as well. Still has 12 DT and 1 DPOTY which is insanity)
C: Dwight Howard (As sickened as I feel to put him over them, way better offense than Mutombo and Russell gives Howard the edge. 4 DT, 3 DPOTY)
Duncan over Robinson huh???
Magic was only an average defender, despite his high steal numbers. His height gave the Lakers opportunities to put him on the opponent's weaker scorers, no matter their position. I can't see having Dwight over plenty of other centers, the first coming to mind being Abdul-Jabbar.
Stockton and Malone?
Don't mean that Duncan was a better defensive presence
***** he would be tied with Robinson I reckon.
how have not seen #1 ever ? wtf. been watching NBA since 92
The Sonics team with Payton and Kemp was very exciting to watch and having Kevin Calabro doing the play-by-play made it even better.
That #1 play is one of the most iconic plays in NBA history....man I miss old school NBA.
UNDERRATED. Period.
Glove would keep any pg nowadays under 10 points any game
Don't lie to yourself!! Your telling me he could keep D Rose, Russell Westbrook and Curry under 10 pts!?
Jesus Alcala Curry absolutely!He would lock him up so bad Curry would cry after the game. Westbrook very possible, healthy Rose would be difficult, nowadays half injured Rose would be held down under 15 with ease. If he he could stop KOBE, he could stop anybody nowadays.
Kobe has difficulty guarding Westbrook sometimes even in playoffs
Jesus Alcala wtf does that have to do with GP
You said KB has trouble guarding him and I'm saying he has trouble guarding Westbrook! So I think Westbrook can take GP he's faster stronger and more athletic
the glove, the rain man, the grand teuton, big smooth, that was a good team and the duo of the glove and the rain man was no joke. nothing but great memories
I'm on here cause I really want to make sure if Gary Payton Sr. had dunking genes in his DNA. Cause his son is just going off 🙌🏿
Worth watching twice....what a player.
1:33 the most unnecessary flashy pass I ever seen but I still love it
This man was such a great player in the greatest Era of NBA basketball; the 1980's, 1990's to 2010
I'm the goat, I don't give a shit about who says otherwise
Dam, how I wish I could of actually sat at watch a 90s basketball game. So much development in both the shoes and the game. Crazy iconic.
Congrats to GP, well deserved HOF entry. Bring back the Sonics!
Smoking on some GP right now watching GP highlights I’m lit
Legendary. That steal from MJ should be 1st.
Eh, Payton wasn't even the one who caused it.
***** Noobs? No one could get past Chicago, not Seattle, not Utah, not Cleveland, not ANYONE
Nate Davis Except Orlando. MJ was still re-establishing chemistry, granted, but he had already proven he was back to his old self that year and average 31 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, and 2.5 steals in the Magic series.

Statalyzer Editing myself - they already had Harper in 1995, but didn't play him much that series for whatever reason.
Nate Davis Except you know the Celtics, The Pistons, and so on Isiah might have a lot more rings if Jordan didn't complain as much as he did. He would also have 2 gold medals

i hate it when people get caught up in stat sheets
you make a great point that he won dpoy with those other defensive legends playing. dont sleep on the glove, he was a beast.
incredible assists to the right with eyes to the left... great!
chris paul and blake griffin remind me of gary and kemp so much
Don't ever compare them again
MapleMan119611 why not? its very similar. i dont see how its not similar really???
You can't compare them because clearly GP20&SK40 are better than Blake and Chris .
thats an excellent comparison i was thinkin the same
Julius Petraitis just cause they are better doesnt make it so you cant compare them. people compare kobe to jordan when jordans better. they are both the same position wise, shawn kemp is a althetic pf and griffin is the same and they both get their points in similar ways. chris paul one of the best defenders at point guard like gary was, both throw oops, both are good all around, both are fierce competitors, both trash talk. chris pauls better than gary though, kemps better than bg. at the end of blakes career he will probably be just as good as kemp if not better. they are a very similar it more ways than not. the clippers should move to Seattle since theirs 3 freaking teams in CA and that whole donald Sterling issue.
Gary payton passes are amazing 👏
I've watched Gary since he came into the league and hes got way more better playes than the ones you selected. Nothing should be shown in a Miami heat uniform

GP was awesome.. great trash talker too
One of the best top 10's ive seen
GP II got his Dad's stealing ability 🥰
Favorite player ever
The greatest point guard of all time
Charlene Simmons woah slow down gp was amazing but magic best pg of all time cmon now
I agree 100%
I did highlight videos of his entire time as a Seattle sonic on my page if you wanna check them out
even gary payton would tell you your wrong .
It feels like every highlight starts with the opponent. I love the Sonics Def
Gary Payton still looks like what he looked like when he joined the league. XD
Ikr
+ around 50 pounds more
I love the defensive end of basketball, and Gary, KG and Scottie Pippen are my inspiration.
Miss the sonics
So good to see some old school GP! And hear some old school Calabro. Dang I miss the SuperSonics.
GP got that Hof quick reflexes and flashy passer badge on lock
I love his hustle soo much!
*-*
I love how he steals the ball from jordan and after he dunks it he gives jordan the look like fuck outta here lol.
I love too, and if anybody don't like it then...fuc em
Cameron Ortiz lol talked trash to MJ and MJ made him pay in the finals
Samuel The Squirrel fuc mj, this is Gary Payton's video page
Samuel The Squirrel if you mean beating the sonics in the Final the' yes. but if you mean Mj destroyed Gp then you are wrong. Gp did a good Job on defending mj
+Samuel The Squirrel lol MJ shot 30% on Gary Payton and scored under 30 points. I'd hardly call it making him pay
Best PG of all time.....yes I have heard about Magic Johnson...
I have over 10 highlight videos on his entire career with the sonics if you ever feel like watching some old Gary footage
Payton to Kemp
Stockton to Malone
Kobe to Shaq
Hardaway to Mourning
The 90's & early 2000's in a nutshell
Would rather Hardaway to Sprewell from the GSW days.
Stockton and Malone only beat GP and Kemp in 1 series and they were really young then.
Marbury to Coleman
Strickland to Webber at Was 👍
Luv it
jus copped a q of gary payton and wanted to recognize how good of a player he is and cheif on some gp
They don't call him "The Glove" for nothing
wow Payton and Kemp! sure miss those days
"GOOD GOLLY, MISS MOLLY!"
I loved using The SuperSonics on Sega Genesis Lakers vs Celtics. Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp were beasts. Payton was the quickest player in the game.
I miss Seattle
That last one was dope, that's awareness and ball control for you.
watch this in 2022... 😅
that last play might have been the greatest example of heads up basketball I've ever seen. the glove has eyes in the back of his head!
it's about time NBA puts up some highlights of The Glove ! Gotta pay respect to one of the strongest competitors of all time. he revolutionized passing in the sport
That's actually a false statement I believe bob cousy revolutionized passing he was the the first player to bring flash to the nba played in the 60s in Boston with bill russel he was way ahead of magic
Who would've thought lmao, most of his top 10 plays are ASSISTS not defense
Cause he couldn't score worth shit
Gary was the truth man. Old school PG play is still golden
you dont see these type of passes anymore....ricky rubio probably the closest one to doing this but that guy aint at gary payton level at all
agreed, but i dont think these times of basketball are over. there are so many talented players.
Chris Paul, Steph Curry, Rubio, Rondo can all make these passes.
far more avg players than star players now. even stephen a smith said so himself. and i totally agree
Calvin Wong Oh well, if Stephen A. said it...
not just cause stephen a said it. i knew someone was going to fireback with that. cause stephen a said it. cause lebron james is lebrick quoted by skip bayless and everyone follows and say it too? whats the difference between that?
mad skills one of my fav players of all time.
every time i played NBA jam i played as payton and kemp. killa

First career top ten I've seen with so many assists. Shows what an unselfish and skilled point guard he is.
Here because of GP2!!! His son is going to be a problem for the league!! I'm a huge fan of both!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Me too
SO CLASSIC!! MISS THAT TIME
This was/is my DUDE! I remember growing up in Philly when the Sonics had Kemp and Payton, everybody in school 🏫 was talking about them.
Yep, my fav player all-time.
wow!!!! number one was crazy!!! THE GLOVE!!!
♥ I love his beetween leg pass! ♥
i love that most of these started out on the defensive end in the form of steals. the glove was one of the GOAT defenders.
Always loved some Glove. He was the first guard I noticed who would jump off the wrong foot on purpose, ie, lay it up off your right foot with your right hand. Nash does it well too. Always catches people off guard.
These were all awesome!!!
