Payton plays like he came from nothing and is not interested in going back. I love the effort he plays with, his physical gifts are a plus. Very VERY rare to see a kid that comes from money have that type of oncourt demeanor. Impressive
I was at the hornets game and we were chanting “Garry! Garry! Garry!” He also got a standing ovation when he subbed out. Can’t be nothing but happy for this guy.
Haha your awesome man keep being a loyal gsw fan can’t wait when klay comes back gonna be a emotional day and chase finna be so loud when klay gets back for his first standing ovation 👏
Same here! So wanted the warriors to lock him up for a long contract. Energy and defense alone, but Little Glove can shoot and has the best attitude. Exactly who any team should want!
Could be because most NBA Teams are focused on signing Stars, trading for Stars or acquiring known established players to compete against other Teams that are doing the same thing. At a point it felt like Brooklyn & the Lakers were both trading blows on their signings lol
I remember back in my college days (around 2012-2013), GP2 was with his junior college team who made it to nationals that year. After our game, we watched this guy play. Man.......dude was straight up too smooth. You could just tell he was big time even back in a day. If you’re a hooper or have watched ball a lot, you know a real “hooper” when you see one.
@@carolmiller5713 💪🏾 gesh now thats what i call “bounce” smaller player that jump past the rim . We expect that from an 7ft person their 2 inch away from rim without jumping lol
Remember SPUD WEBB ?? He was 5 foot 6...and was in the SLAM DUNK COMPETITION...ok ? So...Im not surprised that GP2 got the hops. The LEAGUE is surprised, though. 😄
GP II is a great weapon for the warriors. A slasher/lob threat guard in the warriors system will be so deadly. The spacing is going to open up the floor for GP II and with his athletic ability, he can sky over any guard that is defending him. If Kerr uses GP II properly we can really see the true power and fit of GP II on the Warriors.
In Myers we trust. The development of these players is due to our coaches and our staff. If you think about it, we have had two seasons that can be considered off seasons. We loaded up and now have developed players and free agent signings that compliment the veterans.
His only mistake was not addressing the Draymond-KD situation but other than that. Even signing Damion Lee, which I thought was a really stupid decision at the time, was Smart as hell. Myers definitely the best GM in the League.
@@ghjk75 competition needs to happen. In hindsight it was stupid, but at the time they needed to see what options they had. They undervalued him, and so did the rest of the league, cause no one picked up GP2. Which was the best thing to happen for both parties. Now we have a potential 6th man, and a player with local ties. Win-win at the end of all of this.
@@joshuacabonce not only was it stupid it was lk disrespect…I hope it works out for the best too and nobody gets jealous of dude and keep forcing him to “prove himself” to get the time he deserves. I was nervous myself when they cut him. Warriors FO need to be thanking God rn someone didn’t scoop him from us. Guess acting like he wasn’t that good worked….shady….but you right it worked out
I think it's moreso the Warriors system rather than the individual players that makes them who they are. They seem to have a talent not just for spotting young talent, but also for helping them focus their game. Often times, we see coaches help players up their [insert whatever they were known for] game, but to the detriment of one or two other core skills (whether due to neglect or under training).
He is electrifying and so much fun to watch. His rookie card has skyrocketed in value on eBay. To be honest, I didn't even know Gary Payton Sr. had a son. GP2 is ballin' outta control.
My guess is that GPII didn't get picked up by other teams because he's a relatively short point guard who is not known for his shooting or passing. That said, he's a great defender and has the jumping ability to play like a power forward in the paint.
Just a helluva defensive player. I enjoy how he is intimidating players as they are bringing the ball up the court From being cut by the Warriors to probably being the Defensive Player of the Year. WOW!!!!
The change in how games are being called fits perfectly into his bag of assets. If the refs let him play he will frustrate a lot of players, especially those that are inclined to cry to the refs whenever things get difficult for them. While they are crying to refs about getting their pocket picked, GP2 is at the other end hanging from the rim after an emphatic dunk.
I was asking people on various RUclips channels to explain to me why GP II was not the obvious lock for the last roster spot for a couple weeks and no one had a good answer. Besides the talent and the hard work, he sees the game like an NBA native, being around so much NBA knowledge his whole life. He doesn't need to learn to lock down on defense, it is second nature.
That is super disrespectful to Holiday to instantly rank GP2 ahead of him based off a tiny tiny sample size. Talk about being a prisoner of the moment. GP2 is certainly making the most of his opportunity and has pretty much immediately forced himself into the rotation. He's super exciting to watch and most interestingly the questions many warriors fans had about his passing ability haven't proved to be an issue because of offense he's just not playing the role of facilitator. Instead he's being used as an undersized forward. Jrue though deserves everyone's respect, for years now the very best offensive players in the league have pretty consistently named him as one of the best defenders in the league.
i agree… but gp2 hasn’t just been doing this for two-three games. he been like that, he just hasn’t had the opportunities to prove it and now that he has the opportunities, he’s gonna show people why he’s gary payton’s son. still respect jrue a ton, he for sure one of if not the best perimeter defender in the league. just think gp2 with more opportunities will raise many eyebrows!
@@chikushodiz91 the Bucks are having a championship hangover for sure. Already plenty of injuries. It's early days yet they have time to get it together. But the team struggles are a separate issue to Jrue's legacy as an all time great perimeter defender.
Imagine if GPII was a teammate of leFlop? The whole world would be hyping him right now. But he is on the most hated team by the brontards so he gets very limited exposure.
Lebron is the goat and that is not debatable … 3 championships with three different teams and he also beat the best team to ever after being down 0 - 3… so shut up with your bullshit … to many warrior band wagon fans
@@Asteczz they just hate warriors bc it to overpowered especially when they signed kd, the lebron fans just didnt like it no hate pls im just saying facts
It's also the fact that steph rarely misses so players aren't expecting to rebound. Add the season moves forward it will be interesting to see how teams adjust. He's young and not yet established so he's playing his heart out and he's on The GSW, so yea.... there's that lol
When Klay and Wiseman come back they will be the best offensive team… the bench depth when those two comeback gets ridiculous Wiseman, Poole, GP2, Belly, Iggy, Porter pretty stout bench with defined roles… scorers, defenders, rebounders, 4 allAround good bball minds, shot blocker… they will be able to keep the scoring pace when Steph takes his seat and probably push it a little. Good look
I suspect the defensive rating comparison to the early 2000s has a lot to do with the lower scores/rule changes this season, and really puts into perspective how the game has weakened due to officiating over the following 15+ years. I LOVE IT!
it's too early to rank GPII over Jrue Holiday, but he surely has the potential. also unpopular opinion: addition of Wiseman may not help the offense/defense, he hasnt figured out his fit in the system yet. as for Klay, I think we ought to give him some adjustment period and not to have such an expectation given the fact that he hasn't been playing since 2 years ago.
I really wondered why the dubs dropped him last season after a couple of successful (to me) 10 days contracts. This guy may not play the game we used to watch these days by but his will, energy and hunger are above charts !
How did no one sign him? Because he joined the league at a time when EVERYONE has to be a 3 pt shooter... I'm just glad he finally got a chance to prove his value... Go Beavs!!! ;-)
@@augsworthprice565 yessir. The only thing I’m worried about is how Poole is gonna feel about coming off the bench when klay come back. Basically telling him to take a seat back after having big games like he’s having now, gotta see how it’s gonna work out
The collective wisdom of the organization becomes a substance of the players he will embrace that role and take it to another level that's his maturity
Noticed that the Golden State warriors do not have problem players or eagle maniacs they are blue collar about to grab the League by the collar and put them in a choke hold
Warrior fan here. I would like to think that they let Avery Bradley go so the Lakers could pick him up for their 15 spot! If they had let Payton go the Lakers would have taken him....Smart....In my mind at least...
The Lakers prefer players with years of NBA experience and GP2 doesn’t fit that description. Occasionally they luck up and find a diamond in their draft (Caruso and Talen-Horton). As presently constituted they want quick fits.
As a ling time Dubs fan, I put a $1k bet on the Dubs to win it all three weeks before the pre-season at 22-1. I'm loving this team and the system with all the new guys buying in. No team can beat the Warriors 4 out of 7 games.
All things happen in their right time. The planets lined up + Warriors had a telescope = whoa, wait a minute💥Gary Payton II ... secret ninja killer... I love him because his soft voice contradicts his court behavior (bring the salts) but also he will take lots of pressure off Klay this season...& looks like Klay just gave his stamp of approval...💙🏀💛
This also goes for the 2 GSW rookies, Kuminga and Moody, things may not be smooth in their early career but you got to bet on yourself. If you think you have the talent and drive to be successful in the NBA, you have to bring it everyday, on and off the court, then everything will fall into place.
Hi, i'm from the future :D, what did you just say it's become true, Warriors win the finals NBA and becoming NBA Champion, GPII still growing and become a good defensive player, yeah, and i think every single players who signed by Warriors, they becoming a very good player, even the bench :D
It has never happened that a small guy who dunk like a power forward in NBA. No teams signed me, maybe because of the skills or height. He can still make some improvements on his skills, he will definitely be a great player.
Wiseman was a negative on the defense last year....Klay will take time and once we keep winning. When he returns we may sacrifice a few game to get him ready...and the team in tune with him. We need him in the playoffs
@4:44, notice how he looks at the person behind him and instantly made an adjustment on how the ball rotation he thinks will be.. he anticipated that the person who catches the ball will pass on someone behind him and instantly pounced for a steal..
WOW!!!! How prophetic this video has become ✅ Your analysis have been on point the entire season watching the warriors ride Winning It All Again 😂😂 Enjoyed this Journey My Friend. You're the Best Covering The Dubs Hands down!!!!! ( Yes They Will Repeat As Champions 🏆) More Debt... Every one healthy, The bench Will Get More Regular Season Time Giving "Curry" and the Stars rest until Playoffs 🙂
GP2 brings a lot to the table and seems to blend and gel really well with the Warriors! If key players can stay healthy their is no reason to believe they can’t win a 4th championship this year.He also enjoys playing the game and seems like a humble young man!
Kelly oubre has that insane wingspan also which makes gp2s dunk more bad ass! He went off again against the hawks but fouled out late in the 4th! Let's go dubs!
Let's not forget that Wiggins is still trying to be consistent. If he gets his efficiency down, and Klay, Steph and Poole do the same that's automatic 80pts between them considering they be conservative with their scoring 20 pts per game. Then there's the rest of the team.
I'm seeing GP2 as a pat bev that is stronger, peskier, younger, have shooting, have hops, doesn't run his mouth when playing defense(but I hope he gets it eventually like his dad use to trashtalk), what else do I miss?
He needs to remain his own man, true to himself. The trash talking was just part of his Dad’s personality. GP2 seems more reserved in that respect and doesn’t need it to play his game.
I think even other team sign GP2 it will depend on the team lets say lakers sign this guy but the question is ... if the lakers will let this guy play like he want to play. Now the safest team for the upcoming rookie who wants have a name in the nba is the team that they will let them play like they use to.. gsw n spurs for me is the best destination for the rookies
It also depends to the style of play of a team. By now we can assume that the warriors system fits GP2 style of play (or they need GP2 in their system to be more efficient)
@@carolmiller5713 his dad Gary Payton Senior is from Oakland,Ca and played for the Sonics and it was when the Sonics were good in the 90s and they gave his dad the Popular NickName "The Glove" there are also Nike shoes they payed the Gloves. So that's why they call him "The Glove" cause he had the hands to dunk and to steal n block the basketball. That's why they call GP11 "The Mitten aka the Young Glove"
U can't be successful and be FOOLISH too. And the GSW organization is HIGHLY successful...because they're WISE. Signing GP2 was PERFECT wisdom. He is gonna be a KEY element in GSW's 2022 championship campaign. Excellent pick-up by the GSW front office. 💎💎💎💎💎
I’m a warriors fan too but bro u got to chill with these crazy takes. Jrue Holliday picked devin booker to win the finals and is a multiple time all nba defender u can’t just say gp is better then him after a few regular season games against bad teams
I mean, they need to be true on their "Strength in Numbers" thingy. Not just a big3 type beat, nah. Remember, they were just okay back when they only have Draymond, Curry and Thompson. With Poole, Payton, the guy who I cant spell the name, Wiseman, Kuminga. There will be troubles.
See, Look what Spud Webb, Allen Iverson, Brandon Roy, Nate Robinson, John Wall, Monte Ellis, and D Rose started. They created a monster by bringing in the 2.0s. And these are all small players who can finish at the rim with ease.
Can GP2 win the NBA Defensive Player Of The Year Award?
It's hard, but if he keeps playing like this he can easily
Impossible he doesn't get enough playing time 1st of all and 2nd no hell naw
Mos definitely!!!
if he's playing like this? HELL YEEEEAAAH

Let's not forget that Wiggins is still trying to be consistent. If he gets his efficiency down, and Klay, Steph and Poole do the same that's automatic 80pts between them considering they be conservative with their scoring 20 pts per game. Then there's the rest of the team.
Ig you gotta make a one more video on gp2 😂💯💯
Bruh, this team has the best shooter in NBA history and still lands the best defensive team spot. This is getting real scary.
You should've added the recent highlights vs NOLA. Maaaaan he's soooo gritty!
This man is Good either offense and Dfense, I like this guy
Klay will be the first player in NBA history to go 12 for 12 from the 3 point line this year...
I'm seeing GP2 as a pat bev that is stronger, peskier, younger, have shooting, have hops, doesn't run his mouth when playing defense(but I hope he gets it eventually like his dad use to trashtalk), what else do I miss?
gp2 is 28
I would say he's a smarter defender. Pat's defense is almost entirely based on him being a pest and an irritant. While GP2 has defensive IQ.
He needs to remain his own man, true to himself. The trash talking was just part of his Dad’s personality. GP2 seems more reserved in that respect and doesn’t need it to play his game.
I call him Gloves. Since he the second Glove when you got two it's plural. Lol
Young glove is cool too though.
Golden state has a knack for harnessing and grooming talents
I couldn't believe WHEN the warriors let GP2 go.
I LOVE TO WATCH HIM PLAY.
You high, he still playing
awese content🤩👍
I think even other team sign GP2 it will depend on the team lets say lakers sign this guy but the question is ... if the lakers will let this guy play like he want to play. Now the safest team for the upcoming rookie who wants have a name in the nba is the team that they will let them play like they use to.. gsw n spurs for me is the best destination for the rookies
He definitely deserves his last name ✊
I'm so glad they picked GP2 over Bradley
See warriors GM is genuis
thats why the dirty Memphis just has to hurt GP2
Payton plays old school ball in my eyes!! Physical and aggressive both on defence and offence. Late 80’s 90’s ball. ❤️
Since 20 years ago, I've never seen any crazy defender in NBA. Missing the good old era
Wow!!! GP2 what an NBA player. GP2 you find your niche. 👍👍👍 please take good care of the opportunity.
I want the warriors to win the championship, just so that I can say that KD is replaceable and his rings dont mean anything
Caruso is definitely a frontrunner for DPOY so far, but GPII is on the same level
they're both so entertaining to watch
It also depends to the style of play of a team. By now we can assume that the warriors system fits GP2 style of play (or they need GP2 in their system to be more efficient)
Always had the work ethic and grit.
The Warriors is a team of second generation players. The live action set of major 2nd.
It's like they finally let this guy carry on the glove legacy. Defense is going to be key for warriors to win.
I'm thinking he's more of a hammer than a glove...
Power Glove or The Gauntlet, but he likes Young Glove.
@@carolmiller5713 his dad Gary Payton Senior is from Oakland,Ca and played for the Sonics and it was when the Sonics were good in the 90s and they gave his dad the Popular NickName "The Glove" there are also Nike shoes they payed the Gloves. So that's why they call him "The Glove" cause he had the hands to dunk and to steal n block the basketball. That's why they call GP11 "The Mitten aka the Young Glove"
@@mickeyt9190 He's not a fan of the Mitten. and it implies kid size & soft. He's neither of those - more like the Hammer.
U can't be successful and be FOOLISH too. And the GSW organization is HIGHLY successful...because they're WISE. Signing GP2 was PERFECT wisdom. He is gonna be a KEY element in GSW's 2022 championship campaign. Excellent pick-up by the GSW front office. 💎💎💎💎💎
Kelly Oubre done caught so many bodies in his career he had to get got eventually ... He'll live... But GPII is his daddy's son! lol
What's going on with the other guy that was doing the voiceovers'!?!? I miss him.
its more abt gsw they let anyone shoot if they can... your free to take your shots so ppl can show their talents..they are just unselfish
If they miss, we have others who'll make it. And it they make it = Bonus!
I’m a warriors fan too but bro u got to chill with these crazy takes. Jrue Holliday picked devin booker to win the finals and is a multiple time all nba defender u can’t just say gp is better then him after a few regular season games against bad teams
He's reminding me of JRich of the warriors with them dunks!! Just electric
I mean, they need to be true on their "Strength in Numbers" thingy. Not just a big3 type beat, nah. Remember, they were just okay back when they only have Draymond, Curry and Thompson. With Poole, Payton, the guy who I cant spell the name, Wiseman, Kuminga. There will be troubles.
Just okay? They won a championship in 2015 and went 73-9 with just those guys.
Gp2 is a guard that plays low post and also do rebounds awesome for such size
See, Look what Spud Webb, Allen Iverson, Brandon Roy, Nate Robinson, John Wall, Monte Ellis, and D Rose started. They created a monster by bringing in the 2.0s.
And these are all small players who can finish at the rim with ease.
