Payton says that, if inducted to the Hall of Fame, he would choose John Stockton and George Gervin as presenters.

Badass.

Badass.

There is a youtube video where Payton just goes off about Stockton. In a good way. Toughest to play against, toughest PG, smartest player...something like that.

I heard his son plays ball at Salt Lake Community College. I'm not sure how true that is, just something I heard.

3 Finals appearances with 3 teams. 1 title in limited role. One of the best defensive players in history. One of the best trash talkers in history. He should be first ballot, but I also thought Reggie Miller should be first ballot.

Gary Payton was one of my favorite non-Jazz players to watch. The Jazz/Sonics battles in the mid-90's were fantastic. Payton once said that the only player he wouldn't trash talk was Stockton, simply because he had too much respect for him.

I love in that video how Payton describes Stockton's hard picks, "He'd set you up 'bleep', set you up like this 'bleep".
Haha awesome.

He lives in the 702. See him in the burbs all the time.

I love how now theses guys give him respect now. Back then John had a hard time getting any respect from his peers.
