A lot is instinct but a lot is just seeing where the ball is going next. He times dribbles ( once the ball leaves his hand on the bounce he has no control of it that’s when you attack) Gary def taught him a lot. Kobe and KG said they leveled up their defense of a few tips from you. He gone give his son all the game
You know who his father is right? His dad is the greatest defensive PG in NBA history....and he's taught him since he was a kid...a couple things you may not be able to teach but most of it is.
i mean he’s dad did play in the nba so most likely he was built for it, i’m pretty sure he’s dad won a chip and was called glove or sum thing like that

Its not a random reach. He knows when to reach regardless of when he is at. I see a couple poke from when he is entirely trailing and still gets the steal. I truly believe there is a method for that and he mastered it and applying it everytime hes on the floor.
Lower your body for a better center of gravity. Wait for the ball when it is in the air between the floor and the hands of the player. Synchronize your footwork with the opposing player. That's it.
It's not random coz it happens everytime he is defending and on the floor. Definitely, he has his own strategy. Sometimes, I even wonder how and when did he touched the ball. LOL! He's so good at stealing and deflecting the ball.
NBA ball handlers get too cocky and don't protect their dribble well enough cuz they're not used to good hands defenders like GP2 or caruso stealing their wallets. gotta shorten your dribble when those dudes are within arms reach. a great hands defender can strike like a snake with either hand and the ball will be gone before they can blink. source: i do this shit all the time to dudes who let me get too close and don't protect well enough.
This man was really playing good defense on JOKIC the other day too. That’s insane 😹. Edit: He blocked jokic twice more after i wrote this Another Edit: gp2 is no longer a warrior 💔 ANOTHER edit: HES A WARRIOR AGAIN
His timing, his agility, his body seems so light. I always have fun watching him in the court and he became one of my fave Warrior to look forwarsnto every game. And his nasty dunks! Dude, those were fantastic!
players are way faster on possession now than back in the 90s because every team play small ball. It's almost impossible having this much stamina on D today because more often than not, they're just gonna score on your head. The offensive skillset of teams nowadays are so much that it's just way too much for the D to catch up. You'd need discipline, stamina, speed and the other opponents playbook just to get the basics. His defensive court vision is just chef's kiss tbh.
He played a tiny tiny bit last year and this year it’s been so much fun to watch, I tried to get the city edition black gpii jersey but couldn’t find one I trusted
I have to say that GP2 really has some of the best knowledge on passing lanes and dribbling tempo in the whole league. The way this man is constantly able to steal the ball off a bounce or is always in the passing lane at the right time is truly amazing to see
Top of GP2 skill set: always alert, paying attention to the where the ball is and where it's moving, but also to the other players' positions and what possible passes are about to be made. He thinks ahead, plain and simple. I like that qualitya, and I also like how after he steals/recovers the rock he gets rid of it super quick and to the right man. Underrated skill, but all coaches teach it.
I don't think I've ever seen someone with this kind of hand eye coordination with this kind of on-ball defense in my entire ~20+ years of watching NBA ball. Holy shit.
@@GreedyBizznezPop Nah bro. Im not downplaying GP2. To be comparing him to Kawhi in his 2nd year is a praise in itself. They both beast on defensive end.
His timing is impeccable. It's like he has a rolodex of each individuals and their timing. He doesn't gamble, he actually is there when he steals the ball, either in the passing lane or draped all over someone. Unlike his father, he doesn't have to rough up or mug the other players for the possession, he is a much smoother version. Imagine a shorter version of Scottie Pippen on D.
Warriors need him tomorrow and the rest of the finals! This man is a game changer. Warriors like getting out in transition and this man will do that for you🙏🏼
I hope this man knows a lot of ppl loves how he plays.. man is literally an elite defender i’m a hawks fan and we need players like him cuz hawks has no defence but i think he fits the GSW.. THIS MAN IS HUMBLE AND KINDA TOO LIKE BRO THIS MAN DESERVED THE CHIP
As Warriors' fan, I wish he could be resign into a longer contract... He's a free agent by summer... With his breakout season, many teams will want him for sure... I don't know and don't think that Warriors' salary cap can make him stay... But I wish he could...
@@Heie_ calling it now if they stay intact and have no serious injures they will have a 3 peat they have the right nucleus of veteran and young players
You know you did it right when they call you names like "young glove" and put catchphrases after your name like "dribble at your own risk" Much deserved ring for a hardworking journey man.
I wish two things for Gary, (1) that his health last for 20 more years and (2) he never losses his chip on his shoulder to keep on proving doubters he's awesome
You could make a fun video of all the times GPII covers a primary PG on an inbound and that primary PG points to the outlet wanting no parts of trying to catch the ball with GPII near by.....
@@carolmiller5713 .....um no GP Senior is a 9 time all-defensive player and the literally the only PG in history to win defensive player of the year. Go back and watch him defend Michael Jordan in 96' finals to see how ridiculous your comment is. BTW who the hell do you think is teaching GP2?
Hated seeing him go. It wasn't just his defense which is amazing. He set amazing screens, new when to roll and when to get out of the way, hit his corner 3's, could handle the ball, finish at the rim, etc. I'm glad he go paid bu wish Golden State paid him instead of Green and Donte.
He is naturally good and best with it. His ability is so rare!! We missed to know that skill is so beautifull too. GSW so lucky to have this man. DENNGG
I was hesitant when GSW signed his 10 day contract last season. He did show flashes of defense, but it was never enough for me. And then they picked GP2 over bradley, and i was confused thinking they would pick an legit NBA experienced player over a G league player. But boy i don't know sht bout bball 😂😂😂 Gsw really have good eyes 👀
Dude times his swipes perfectly. He knows exactly when to reach, and when he does, the distance, positioning, and timing are all perfect. He anticipates a lot of passes as well. I was a big fan of Gary "The Glove" Payton, so I hope Myers pays this GP2 well next season so he could have a long career like his pops.
Watching gp2 on defense is just mesmerizing. He had worked hard to where he is and he will be in the league for a long time just alone for his defensive impact

Facts The Glove 2.0
Toughness is the family business i guess
I honestly think he is a better defender than his old man. Plus, he routinely does something GP Senior never did: dunk with real authority!

If i hear one more thing about 90s basketball ima scream dawg😂
90s defense was more physical and intense(everybody takes pride on their defense) but also less skilled than defenders of today
Stop it 90s don’t play defense they just physical you obviously don’t know defense right 😂
@@marka1000it's the rule changes....it's not that they much more athletic that's fallacy.
How long has this dude been playing as warrior and he already got this 9 mins video doin his thing
He played a tiny tiny bit last year and this year it’s been so much fun to watch, I tried to get the city edition black gpii jersey but couldn’t find one I trusted
Less than a season.
Not that much playing time too! Imagine his contribution! Man i love gpll bringing energy to the team
2nd season, 1st contract in career this year. What a diamond in the rough. This gives you some idea of the gold waiting to be mined in the g league.

Maybe you haven’t seen how GP2’s dad played? They didn’t call him “The Glove” for no reason.
His dad. He got his defense from his dad
He's like a missile that is locked on a target. He never loses his focus on the ball
A true hustler💯 Got a nose for the basketball at all times
He is a unique lockdown defender because he doesnt look tense when defending. Very wise defender!

Nice to have GP2 back
GP2 is so Fun to watch‼️There's No boring moments when he's on court 🏆🏀💙😻
GP2 is one of those players that OTHER players mention when they asked who gave them a hard time playing against, love his effort and attitude

There is a rhythm to his pick pocketing. After the second dribble your ball is gone 😂
lmfao noticed that too
He analyzes their tempo and handling style on the first bounce and then the second is when he strikes. It’s definitely a science 🤯
Just like his legendary dad. Same name, same game. It's such a delight to see him in action.
His defense is a joy to watch, its not every day you see a Guard pick pocket players like in a video game
"Pickpocket" would be such a good nickname for gp2. Guy's defense is effective and insane.
Gary ‘Pickpocket’ Payton
We are truly lucky to have him on the warriors!
Who's out here because of the trade? Btw, welcome back GP2 🙌🙌🙌

Yea it would suck if he gets traded but it hopefully won't happen
He’s coming back he was a huge help to the warriors winning this championship they all coming back to repeat

GP2 is by far my favorite player!! Get well soon my Brother!
We need this version of GP if we're going to win a chip.
He gives us this version every time he hits the court.
He just did... 2022 Champs
He is a menace against the opposing team, love how he works very hard.👍
Great highlight for GP2‘s amazing defense!
This makes me emotional knowing we got this back :')
His father is the only point guard in
NBA history to ever win defensive player of the year.
And now is Marcus smart but GP is the Best DPOY
I wish two things for Gary, (1) that his health last for 20 more years and (2) he never losses his chip on his shoulder to keep on proving doubters he's awesome
that steal and alley oop to kuminga is so satisfying
Welcome back gp2! Warriors looking to repeat after beefing up the defense even more to pair along donte divencenzo
Payton lives in the passing lane, it’s beautiful really.
This dude is great!
He not only 1on1 lockdown defender but do pretty well on team defense, what a awesome defense textbook
Name a prettier thing in basketball than a defender stripping the ball and rushing down the court for a bucket
You ain't ever lie chief that's facts

Same vibes as LeBron making a face when Kawhi stepped on the court in one of the Heat Spurs finals
His picks across the dribbler's body is so perfectly timed! How???
that sneaky left. 🔥🔥🔥
Refreshing memories after the trade!😂 missed him❤
Being in Seattle, I watched his Dad's career. It is so cool to see GPII play such sweet defense!
