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.
Watch this at about the 2:15 mark. Might have been the same game.
He did it a couple of times to GP and was grinning from ear to ear throughout the game.
At least Payton got his revenge later on !
