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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
The Glove one of the greatest guards ever.
Those old Sonics unis are just the best!
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
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
oh my god I loved the nuggets jerseys
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 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.
Never realized how good he was🤯, he really puts his heart on the court
my favorite basketball player of all times.
Chemistry that Payton had with Kemp is something beautiful to watch. That plays was just so smooth
number 1 got me out of my seat god damn
LOLOL
I missed Seattle Supersonics...
and Ted
Fuck Schultz...
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!
that number one though... god damn
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.
this guy was the quintessential point guard. He had the dopest passes and his defense was scary good.
the last 3 were sick!!
im glad to have witnessed one of these greats...im 30 and i miss that era of ball playing...
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
one of the most creative and fearless players of our time. God I miss 90's basketball.
💯
I never seen any pair better than Shawn and Gary. So much energy and speed and power.
+Hooper Status
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.
+oneyedthing You forgot Shaq. But you are correct.
+Elvis Maduro shaq wasn't anything special defensively. he was good, not great
Gary Payton better then Westbrook? Lmao cut it out
+Malyk Shirley gary payton was a far superior player to westbrook...
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.
Love this video, love Gary Payton. One of the best memory of NBA 's Golden time.
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
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)
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.
my favorite PG ever. them 2 shots for the Heat in the finals were so clutch
Gary “Glove” Payton was so underrated. One top of the top guards of all time
1:33 the most unnecessary flashy pass I ever seen but I still love it
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.
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
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.
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 🙌🏿
how have not seen #1 ever ? wtf. been watching NBA since 92
I'm the goat, I don't give a shit about who says otherwise
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!
That #1 play is one of the most iconic plays in NBA history....man I miss old school NBA.
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
This man was such a great player in the greatest Era of NBA basketball; the 1980's, 1990's to 2010
Gary Payton still looks like what he looked like when he joined the league. XD
Ikr
+ around 50 pounds more
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. 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.
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
Gary Payton is Legendary. This should have way more views.
These were all awesome!!!
watch this in 2022... 😅
Congrats to GP, well deserved HOF entry. Bring back the Sonics!
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.
Worth watching twice....what a player.
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 II got his Dad's stealing ability 🥰
Gary payton and shawn kemp, were like batman and robin in sonics
incredible assists to the right with eyes to the left... great!
GP got that Hof quick reflexes and flashy passer badge on lock
GP was awesome.. great trash talker too
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.
That was one SICK TOP 10!!
Miss the sonics
They don't call him "The Glove" for nothing
Favorite player ever
Gary payton passes are amazing 👏
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 .
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
I love his hustle soo much!
*-*
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!
"GOOD GOLLY, MISS MOLLY!"
One of my favorites of all time. GP was a perfect point guard.
It feels like every highlight starts with the opponent. I love the Sonics Def
wow Payton and Kemp! sure miss those days
Who would've thought lmao, most of his top 10 plays are ASSISTS not defense
Cause he couldn't score worth shit
GP, are you with me? Oh yeah!
lol that old school
Still and forever my favourite player!
his "side pass" alley oops are some of the prettiest passes i've ever seen.
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.
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?
favorite team in NBA JAM payton and kemp with that number 1 assist
SO CLASSIC!! MISS THAT TIME
So good to see some old school GP! And hear some old school Calabro. Dang I miss the SuperSonics.
That last one was dope, that's awareness and ball control for you.
Garry Payton shoes were one of my 5 favorite childhood memories
The glove was a real one.
He's passes is mind blowin!
One of the best top 10's ive seen
mad skills one of my fav players of all time.
every time i played NBA jam i played as payton and kemp. killa
Legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
♥ I love his beetween leg pass! ♥
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.
came here to check where did GP II got the talent
So good😮
I love the defensive end of basketball, and Gary, KG and Scottie Pippen are my inspiration.
Look at the guys face at 0:44 - 0:49 in the background... priceless.
amazing
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.
UNDERRATED. Period.
The 90s era complemented GP 's playstyle of hardnosed defense and while also being great in both half court and transition play.
Gary Payton was such an underrated player!
Loved the way competed.
