His ability to time people's dribble is what is most impressive. He literally has seconds to read and react and he does it an extremely high level. Great pick up for the warriors
Looks like he's been watching film, and has been reading the other teams' plays. Also, very active hands, and isn't being hesitant on trying to reach for the ball (1.3 steals/game, 1.6 fouls/game. both career highs).
@@100briancooper respect for telling the truth, which I'm sure hurts for you... I hope they improve even though I'm not a fan, it's more hype when the Lakers and LeBron's team are good in the league.
Gotta love this kid..a son of a legend., doesn't have a big head,works hard every single game he plays..hope he can keep his motivation for his whole career..
@@FreePlay15 I think he will stay till end off career he is one off the best guard defender in the league,and very good role player maybe more,hr never got chance as starter and hr is very athletic.

How can you not enjoy watching warriors when they have a guy that shoots the ball anywhere the court then this guy that does impressive out of nowhere steals. Its nice to be a steph fan this year, finally he’s surrounded with new and good teammate he can rely on unlike last year.
I'd eat sleep and scat basketball if I had the chance to have my job be what I enjoyed most in life! Add 6 zeros to your bank account anyone would have the energy of a child locked in the jelly belly plant for a day!
Warriors bench has been sublime. Love the energy from GPII, Toscano, Porter Jr., and Poole! Not to mention Damion Lee and Bjelica! Let's go Dubs! #strengthinnumbers
Shheeesh!!! Plus, with all of the early success that GSW had has this season, it’s given them a lot of minutes on the floor. It’s like their getting battle-tested before anyone else.
I think he predict other teams play and try to steal the ball everytime they pass.Another thing is he's stealing balls without fouling.That's gonna be a big part of GSW success this year.
Quick hands and uber athleticism make him a great off ball and on ball pest. He’s been a Gem for this Warriors team and his presence is always felt when he’s on the court. Would love to see them get the chip. Still remember when Gary was at at Salt Lake Community College this man has had quite the journey.
Finally a young player that wants to play defense Thank God GP you helped create a special one he will get better get paid and be around a while he is a HEEL OF ATHELETE AND A GREAT PLAYER HE IS WITH THE RIGHT TEAM NOW THE WARRIORS WILL BE IN IT IN JUNE
He's got the fastest hands in the NBA. Must've trained with Manny Pacquiao. Amazing how he can pick the best guards in the NBA regularly without fouling.
He has great hands, along with great awareness. Ive noticed he knows where to put himself, to be in great position for alot of 50/50 balls. Really hope he comes back from injury, & plays as well or better than last year. Really great guy on top of it all.
Gary Payton 2's defense could be the secret sauce that makes the Warriors win the Championship. One clutch defensive play can change the outcome of a game. One game can change the outcome of a series and that series can decide who wins a Championship. Warriors should give him a 5+yr contract.
checking GP2's stats in basketball-reference, his numbers are at their career highs while still on bench minutes (16.8 mp/g this season at the writing of this comment). He's been a great addition to the 2nd team, and a bargain for the Warriors, that's definitely still a title contender.
With GP2, Iggy, Draymond, and Wiggins on the wing, Looney deal with the bigs, and even Steph is not a weak spot this season, the warriors are so scary on the D.
I like the way he shades the player at times. He gets kinda sideways but force them to go to their offensive weak side. They commit anyways and he'll either pick it, grab it or bat it! "I can watch him play defense all day." - Klay
This is some good content 👍👍🏿

more like centiseconds
it becuase his reaction time is just gentically gifted😭
True dat but he risks the foul on sum

@@DuelioTheFoolio well no highlights without risks, and I think he does it consistently enough that it’s worth the risks
he has more defense than the whole lakers roster
I agree

and the nets
And brooklyn they barely even move their feet defensively
too bad he was on the roster before
Gotta love this kid..a son of a legend., doesn't have a big head,works hard every single game he plays..hope he can keep his motivation for his whole career..
Im just sad cause he is already 29.I thought he is 23 or something and that we will watch him for next 10 years.
@@kaisersose2735 Damn. 😔
@@kaisersose2735 he's been in and out in the g-league hopefully he stays in the NBA for good, he seems to be flourishing in the warriors team.

I can watch him play defense the whole day. His defense is as entertaining as Curry's offensive highlights.
im about to say that
Dude be popping outt no where on some of them passes, very entertaining 😂
Strongly Agree!!!
Seems like since the Kuminga Show GP stats n minutes kinda went down
I totally agree
Can you imagine playing him one on one? He’s got more defense highlights in these limited minutes then some guys get in 5 years in the league. Yeesh.

This new glove is amazing. He had like 30 steals and deflections in five minutes and seven seconds.
LMAO
Amazing record to break
Havent seen a true defensive player for a very long time. He is so fun to watch.

@@TAJY26 He’s got some helluva genes. His mom was an Olympic track athlete for Canada.
@@TAJY26 That’s why he’s so athletic
Safe to say dropping Avery Bradley for GP2 was one of the best decisions GS made
Almost up there with letting go of Monta for Steph. And I got love for Monta.
Like father like son
Yep. "The Mitten." Except, this Gary Payton is more athletic
This dude is a gem to the NBA. A ballhawk extraordinaire
4:00 was especially nasty 💪🏽
dudes a straight ballhawk

ain't nobody scoring when draymond, GP2, wiggins and klay are on the floor
Im really sitting here watching defensive highlights. Love it. Gp2 a beast
sometimes I wonder where GPII gets his energy, I love this guy!
From uncle Malone
he drinks steroids
I'd eat sleep and scat basketball if I had the chance to have my job be what I enjoyed most in life! Add 6 zeros to your bank account anyone would have the energy of a child locked in the jelly belly plant for a day!
@@gregorysamaniego36 not Simmons though
From he's genes The Glove
deserved in all defensive team
Yea seriously. He’s been absolutely locked in on that side of the ball
@@R711 idk how he got all that steal he has talent for that
That's some 90's defense the glove passed down and it still works. I wonder why not much of them play defense anymore than the warriors or suns does.

And now Kuminga! Moody! So much talent!!!
Nice to see him develop. He had no confidence a few years ago when he was on the Bucks
important to have a better coach
Payton with the steal! (+ potential dunk)) My favorite pest. Sneaky, fast, rarely fouls & always ShowTime under the Bright Lights..💥💛💫💙
I love watching gp II play defense
I was just thinking I'm looking forward to watching warriors next game partly for gpII defense
The fact that he's Gary Patron's son and people act so surprised is a head scratcher 😭
We haven't seen defense like this man shit makes me tear up
Who is Gary Patron? lol
Patron 😭😭😭
@@ronelz999 the only Point Guard that won DOPY and one of the greatest perimeter defenders of all time The Glove
GP2 is very smart! He always waits for the opponent's ball to bounce into his hand to steal the ball!
I love Gary Payton 2 man he’s so fun to watch
I think he predict other teams play and try to steal the ball everytime they pass.Another thing is he's stealing balls without fouling.That's gonna be a big part of GSW success this year.
yeah, beautifully done...compare to other so called defensive play often ends up with dirty skills...
honestly this guy has been making defense look more fun this season
GP2 is the NBA's Mr Excitement, generating exciting moments in the game
Payton’s leg movement is really quick. Great talent. I hope that he’s able to get another contract after this one.
I like that he doesn't like to switch. He fits well with the Warriors because of how elite their help defense is, especially with Draymond
He plays hard and smart, hope he gets a good contract and stay in the NBA, I'm rooting for him to succeed!
His timing is almost IMPECCABLE!!!
He Deserves an actual contract..
Rooting for GP2 as he plays heart out every time. He reads and anticipates the offense at a really high level.
This guy is a future all star
This guy is my new fav in gsw 😇
Definitely a Payton
Warriors got a steal with GP2
Best comment ever. Very underrated comment. Should have everyone's 👍.
his reading and anticipation is really off the charts
dude has the unique ability to look like he's guarding someone at a distance but be able to disrupt the dribble directly
Quick hands and uber athleticism make him a great off ball and on ball pest. He’s been a Gem for this Warriors team and his presence is always felt when he’s on the court. Would love to see them get the chip. Still remember when Gary was at at Salt Lake Community College this man has had quite the journey.
It's good to see defensive highlights usually it's always scoring
How did he keep stripping and stripping the ball without fouling!? Amazing hand!
Finally a young player that wants to play defense Thank God GP you helped create a special one he will get better get paid and be around a while he is a HEEL OF ATHELETE AND A GREAT PLAYER HE IS WITH THE RIGHT TEAM NOW THE WARRIORS WILL BE IN IT IN JUNE
He's 29 years old
He is so fun to watch. His defense is impressive.
the hustle of this man is unreal, like dennis rodman but tiny :)
Like father like son, the Glove Jr!
Warriors became more exciting to watch because of this guy :-)... Ya always waiting for him to get a steal in every game 😂😂😂
He deserves to be an all defender. And we still in the first half of the season 😤
I ❤GP2!
Defensive Player of the Year!!!🏆and we only halfway through the season #TheMitten🖐🏼
Like father like son.
I love this video!
Mad I’m just now seeing this on here tho. Great posting! I’ve been watching him put the 🔒’s on Damn near every game he plays.
Freakin amazing.
I was amazed by this player
Love watching pure grind works.

Bro if GP II is starter everygame i thing he's in DPOY candidate
Yep no Doubt. He would average 4 to 5 steals a game and 3 blocks.
Love what GP2 has been doing, my favorite steal is the one from Ish.
Man i love watching defense! Gp II's art
GP2 is the real life version of the 2k22 Ball Hawk build nah fr 🤣💯 he is a stealing machine 💪🏾
The fact that he is so good in defense and offense too
I’m glad this is here 🤎
U gotta admit, future DPOY incoming 🔥 Nasty defense!
even the 3rd unit of the warriors team plays better ball than the starters of some other teams 😅
Great highlight reel of GP2! Just like Rodman used to grab boards for the Bulls, GP2 helps to change the momentum in the Warriors favor

dude is crazy

Defensive of the year right here

Defensive player of the year I’m calling it now

Strength Speed Vision ...max effort undeniable
Gp2 is star level player but hes play to win for his team. Respect

Wow! What a great addition to the Warriors roster.
He's the second Glove for sure both hands are covered now.
