I remember Iverson making him look foolish. Never seen that before.
Payton had this done to him by Tony Parker.
Crossed him up with a big ol' grin on his face.
I still to this day can't stand TP though.
He needs to get punched in the face IMO.
I believe you but I couldn't find video of that. I did find several videos of GP "shutting down" Parker in the 2004 WCSF. When Payton was 35 years old.
He was one of the all-time great defenders. I wonder if the Sonics would've won the 96 Finals if they'd put Payton on Jordan a couple games sooner. He really made Jordan work for his points and the Sonics took a couple games after that switch.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
