--------
In this clip, Gary Payton recounted his issues with Starbucks founder Howard Schultz who bought the Seattle Supersonics in the early aughts. He talked about the contentious relationship they had and how it led to his inevitable departure from Seattle in 2003 after being traded following the All-Star break to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Met Gary at NBA hall of Fame induction.The one with Kobe nd Tim Duncan.He talked to me like if he knew me all his life.Dude is just a Real Person that happens to be an NBA Legend.point blank period.Cant explain it Any better..if u ever met him?You Know.
I can vouch for this. I used to work at a club in Boston when he played for the Celtics and he used to talk to the staff like we were friends for years. I don't think I ever saw him drink an alcoholic beverage. He would either get a bottled water or a Sprite.
I met him at a hotel I worked at (met a lot of celebrities in the 6 years there). He was just a regular guy, and you could talk to him like it was no big deal. Other guys like that: Jerry Rice, Tony Dungy, Damon Wayans, and Tyson Chandler. All of them just one of the guys.
@@jonathandodd6712 Jerry Rice also very humble u are correct.Keyshawn Johnson NOT Humble met him sorta.weirdo dude
Gary one of the greatest of all time this guy a Legend for real
I have a friend who knew Howard Shultz. She says that he once said to her that if he couldn't have the Seattle Sonics, that he would fix it so that nobody could. I remember Ray Allen refusing to give him 5 during a game once. Howard always struck me as a true and genuine ass.
Lol at the last line 😂
"Howard always struck me as a true and genuine ass."
LMAOOOO
Howard Schitz
i like this guy soo much. he talks in the same style of way my dad does. i be dying at some the stuff he says when its not even intended to be a joke. must be a thing from that generation of people, but i enjoy it. thanx Glad
@Captain Crunch naw. I'm from Modesto. Nvr thought of that cause my dad is from Frisco. Prolly why they so similiar
Gary is one of the most candid persons ever in the NBA. I loved some of his comments. I have.really enjoyed his no BS approach to things. He was probably an underrated player as well.
Underrated?
He super underrated
I don’t know about underrated…he got mad props back in the day. How old are you? Haha
NOT underrated 😂
He's well rated, he's not underrated or overrated either. He definitely got his credit and shine during his time in the league, especially as a HOFer.
Gary Payton is speaking the truth. Howard Schultz is a con man. Seattle deserves to get the Supersonics back. 🏀🙏🏻🤞🏻
The Glove is as real as they get.
How his kids taste
How you know?
I'm at Seattle and when G.P. & Shawn were with The Sonics those two dudes were so out there in on and at the city and the city events that you would just expect to run into them while embarking on the city! They made themselves very accessible for us fans & we loved it & loved them for it! Big Sam Perkins was the same way too!
@@WeThePeepHole333 I remember Kemp shooting hoops in the wee hours at a park since replaced by an Amazon campus. That was back when Seattle was fun.
@@Chicagoan-wv4zf yeah that little court by I think the Seattle Times warehouse!
Howard Schultz is definitely a liar. He promised to sell the Sonics to someone who would keep the Sonics in Seattle and he lied. He knew the new owner was taking the team to OKC.
Or did he just change his mind? Funny how people are called liars when they change their mind. This is just a savy business man.
I haven't had Starbucks anything since 11/2002. Twenty years. Schultz sucks, what he did to a beloved franchise. And Fawk the 27 owners who voted for relocation. Props to Mark Cuban and the late Paul Allen for standing up to Stern and Bennett. OKC is doing poorly this year and I couldn't be more glad.
As real as they come. Respect.
kemp and payton! loved
the sonics. wish they could’ve seen a championship! payton deserved it for sure. great baller!
Naw they definitely didn't deserve no ring in seattle man
They had their chance on a silver platter in 94 an 95 when jordan was gone
Couldn't even get out 1st round either year
@@GORILLA_PIMP Gorilla simp mo' like it.
@@bernitaldown9136
Triggered by them hard facts I see
Good im glad
@Gorilla Pimp Only thing hard about you is your Simpin over pimpin' life.
@@GORILLA_PIMP you never heard of Hakeem?
One deal I remember was that when they sold to Oklahoma is that they couldn't take the sonics name , giving a chance for a Seattle Sonics comeback! Let's get em back!
I've never purchased a cup of coffee at Starbucks since he sold the team. The thought of him selling our Sonics turns my stomach to this day. I think he's completely aloof and out of touch with normal everyday people, and that makes for a bad team Owner in any sport. Because sports teams are more than just a business. They are a LABOR OF LOVE to good owners who expect to win some and to lose some. Both on the court, and on the books. Teams are more than just a profit margin to fans. They are family, they are BELOVED. If you don't have that passion for sports, you shouldn't be buying and selling teams!! It was only about money to him, simple as that. Just an investment. A person with that mentality should never have bought our beloved Sonics in the first place. He recently said it breaks his heart to see kids wearing Sonics jerseys. That doesn't break my heart at all! In fact, it makes me proud, because their parents have taught those kids how awesome it was to grow up with the Supersonics! How amazing they were! What breaks my heart is to see Seattle-area kids wearing Warriors jerseys, and Lakers jerseys, because they don't KNOW the Sonics! That's what kills!!! He still doesn't get it! ....not even a clue. I gurantee you, he hasn't relayed the awesomeness of the Sonics to one single child. Guarantee it! Because Schultz doesn't know people. He only knows his bottom line.
Payton says Schultz would try to engage them and I bet it came off very patronizing
If u drink Starbucks and claim to be a Sonics fan ur lying to urself. Don’t claim Seattle nothing if u still drink that CRAP… Don’t wear nothing Sonics EITHER…!!! This is coming from a real Sonics fan…!!!
🤜🤛
@@bernitaldown9136 🤜🏾🤛
Got damn right!
Gary was to real for Howard.
Shulz as grimy as they get
Muhfca sell his own kids for a good deal
Ghetto isn’t real
@@ssj-rose4572 Yeah, holding someone to their word isn't "ghetto." That's called having integrity.
In my late teens we used to sneak in to the games at key arena. GP is a Seattle legend and a real one.
Born and raised in Seattle!
Gary Payton is ours!!!!
he kept it funky!!!
Payton should’ve left Seattle back in 2000. As much as I like Bibby, Kings should’ve traded Williams for Payton. Payton, Christie, Peja, Webber and Divac man what a lineup.
I do like me some Payton, but Bibby could make those clutch shots in tight games.
As great as this sounds, they probably would’ve still lost to the Kobe and Shaq Lakers 🤷♂️
@@cactusjack2264 naw if they lose in 7 with Bibby Glove put them over the top that crazy game 6 would’ve went different
@@peejaythegreat1704 bibby played big in that series not sure Peyton would of put them over the top.
@@johnsmith-ko8vq think about the caliber of players we comparing. The best defensive PG ever 9 time allstar who master the pick and roll(him and Webber would’ve been crazy) compared to Mike Bibby a solid PG who never even seen a allstar game all nba team or nothing
Howard Schultz talked about how selling the Sonics was a huge mistake.
About how Schultz handled the franchise, the Glove is right.
Man!! I never knew the real story behind me guy leaving Seattle! It hurt my heart back in '02! The GLOVE is a true legend!
Gary payton is awesome
$5 for 1 chocolate croissant at Starbucks? That’s a con. That only cost them $0.10 to make.
One!!!!! Of the most underrated ever
One of the best...
My first job was at Starbucks in Georgetown where Howard would make regular appearances, even I knew something was off with dude.
Those people are usually in Elite circles and secret societies. You have no idea what’s going on there
Can watch the Glove talk all day.
Man I just dislike the guy for moving the Sonics....everybody loved the Sonics
Bring back Seattle supersonics 2022
Seattle need a team bro
I always respected Gary Payton as a player and I like the interviews that I have seen on Vlad TV. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017.
Look up Real dude in the dictionary there is a picture of Gary Payton.
There is one reason why the supersonics are not in Seattle and that is Howard fucking Schultz.
The Glove keeps it real all the time
I spoke with the Sonic's contract guy at the time, and he pretty much stated what Gary said... "Coffee Shop"
I'd love to see him have like a Manning cast type situation with the NBA.
He is right 100% plus off topic but Starbucks coffee is soo addicting its a shame, Its like being a legal drug dealer he was quoted saying he wants people to only go to 3 places Home, Work, and Starbucks... SMH
I agree y’all need SuperSonics back with same logo and colors to come. Now okc when they had Durant showed up in attendance but they could have been a new team and leave sonics alone. I wish they never touched the final bound team.
If Howard Schultz was just the “Spokesperson” for the Team, then why’d the rest of the Owners, allow him to have leeway as far as having Gary Payton to be traded?
He's the spokesperson because he was probably the majority owner and the others were minority owners
They thought he knew what he was doing
Even if he was a minority owner, he is still a major player in the industry and especially Seattle. No one was checking him.
Majority owner. He had final say on all decisions
@@ShamsiaK he was majority owner.
Gotta love GP for standing up all day mane
GP is a true OG👍
GARY WAS ABOUT TO PUT THEM PAWS ON HOWARD!!! LOL
Bring back the Seattle SuperSonics
So when a player gets traded it's more than what we know.
Bring back my Sonics man
The Glove 🤨. I ..I had no problem wit the glove 😏~MJ
Schultz is not a con man, He is a business man. All legitimate.
True...I understand it...good bad and the ugly...as long as I'm not hustling you... you signed it
Born and raised in old school Seattle. LOVED the Sonics. Hate Howard Schultz. NEVER patronize evil Starbucks. BUT....I agreed with the governor when she refused to let David Stern jack up the taxpayers for a new arena. Now there is a new arena and a new commissioner.
Give the Glove Love
200 mill for a team , ridiculous low price. Payton is right though. THAT DUDE is a bluff blower.
That’s actually pretty high for 2001
@@pandabear1576 not really. I think because of economic imbalance it look high. But over all. That's very very low even in 2001..Today that club would be 500-700 mill to buy. Still a great bargain n Please keep in mind, inflation would push to about a billion or not 2 billion or so.
This era of basketball is about to get a lot of nostalgic interest, if it isn’t already
Get kemp in here
Great 😃
The Best...🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Why does Vlad start videos with “ok..” all the time? 🤔
This is the first time, you hear someone talk about one of the richest people in the world. And have easy access to him. This is so weird. A whole movie of itself.
When you lie and betray me. I'm nothing nice at all.
I love how OGs is explain fucked up relationships wit ppl, it’s like they get to a certain age & learn how to explain fucked up situations in a way that’s less confrontational
The Glove baby
Not surprised, dealing with a jew.
Millionaire vs The Billionaire
GP: “Howard is a con man”
Vlad: “really??? (Slightly chucking) Ok” 🤣😅😂 Vlad just love it when guest talk wild and reckless about others on his platform
Mustache black, goatee white…. WHAT DA!!!
Howie wasn't the founder of Starbucks, he only bought the place out. See a pattern here?
They really need to bring a team to Seattle. 🙄
Michael Jordan and mark Cuban very hands on and accessible to all staff
You dont make hundos of mils by not being a con man.
Gary Payton is the con man here. First you don't negotiate with the owner personally, you have a agent who works with with people behind the scene. Unless you are Jordan, Lebron, Magic, Kobe, Shaq level that's a different story.
I feel like Gary is lying not just this part of the interview but part 19 also, which is confirmed now that he lied. In part 19 of the interview Vernon Maxwell claimed he was the one with the weights and hit Horace Grant. Gary Payton is giving a different story from what Vernon Maxwell is saying and calling Gary out on his lies.
Everybody in the comment section is all hyped, riding for Gary narcissistic lies, but just think about it. Unfortunately Gary is conning the audience and it could be because he is suffering from narcissistic personality disorder.
Never like starbucks no damn way
Howard Schmuck, sold the Sonics to a guy who says he was going to keep the Sonics in Seattle after he bought the Oklahoma arena? Then Schmuck says he told me he was going to keep the team in Seattle.... he is worse than Joe Biden....
Maybe he'll change the name of the team to the Seattle baristas
Gary keeps it real but I belive there may be more to the story. Gary was at the end of his career when Schultz took over and perhaps Schultz felt that Gary was asking for too much. I'm sure Vlad has reached out to Schultz to get his side of the story and he will post the story soon.
Goat
Bring the Sonics backkkk
If Kevin Durant couldn't save the sonics they don't deserve a team!
Sonics had KD
Drafted westbrook
(Thus he was TECHNICALLY a sonic)
Right before that dumb azz city let some hik steal the team
And before that they lost kemp cuz they wanted to give the money to some sucka
Drafted pippen and immediately traded him for a way worse player lmfao
That's just all dumb chit I can remember they did off the top a my head
How could he save them with the roster being gutted around them and him being only a rookie? If he had more time maybe, but the bitch ass mayor took a payout and ended the arena lease 2 years early.
@jo@gmail.dinghy uu rdff Wtf r u talking about? Durant played his rookie season in Seattle.
LMAO. Did you just tell someone they should feel dumb when you didnt know something that is common knowledge?? 😂
You probably ought to delete that comment to save yourself anymore embarrassment.
@@StuUngar yeah! I guess you showed him who's the dumb one 😂
Still gotta give Schultz props for helping Vin Baker get back on his feet after his battle with alcoholism
Robber Barons don't do things for love.
He talkin’ about my former CEO. Don’t be disrespectful, sir
It was him! But blame on the athlete.
Payton describing Schultz as a con man is truly believable, from everything I seen from the Sonicsgate doc and other interviews I now him a professional waffler, personally I have no idea how someone that stupid can be successful.
Nobody gonna say your are future when your 34 years old in the NBA
Howard got drunk at the wedding and started making promises.
The city of Seattle always has been on some punk ish in one way or another. Lotta weak men on power trips here. Like when they made the call to give Russel Wilson the glory instead of Marshawn Lynch
It's a white thing. White, well some whites are simps with generational money or power.
Seattle is the Headquarters of the W.S. thats why!!!💯
@@bernitaldown9136 it's politics. but not a white thing. it's a liberal thing. passive aggressive liberal behavior
@@Zo_1987 the what?
@@jaylee6769 Nah, its a business thing, that happens to be controlled by white business males.
Lol vlad didn’t like the coffee jab.. “idk” lol
Sounds like sour grapes the owner owns the team you are a employee.
Not really
Vlad be milking his video interviews smh lol
Howard turned the glove into a pair of mittens
LOL
Because he bought the Sonics we now have the OKC Thunder I'm from Oklahoma city so I'm good with it
Lil Duval wasn’t lying
"You're not that guy" - GP
Lob city baby

Probably was drunk or high talk lol n u took it all personally
Gary Payton didn't give no fuck 😂😂😂😂he ain't scared of nobody
Payton my all time favorite player, DMX my all time rapper, both speak the truth... and look alike
the funk is a supersonic?
The reason the Seattle Supersonics went bankrupt is because the state of Washington reflects the Canadian economy for sharing borders. So when the U.S. went to war with Iraq in 2002, it caused our country to go into inflation and the bordering cities of Canada took a major blow because the lost of its profit margin. The Toronto Raptor was able to hold on because Toronto's buying power. But eventually still lost Vince Carter and Tracey McGrady because of contracts.
U wrote all that for nothing
War world 3 boy
Lot of people don to own that he was turned down by 256 banks trying to borrow money to create Starbucks ..... 256 😳
Starbucks founder is a conman, $6.00 for a cold brew?
Shits good though
You can make that shit at home!!!
What is vlad talking about? Owners deal with players all the time
Starbucks is overrated.
That coffee business is better than your nba career
Hall of Fame career vs unionization of Starbucks. I will take the Hall of Fame career.
Nasty and overpriced coffee
