OT: The Glove going to the Hall

[mobes23]

Seattle sports talk radio is reporting there are strong rumors that OSU great Gary Payton is on his way to the HOF. Good stuff.

Edit:

When I first saw the thread title I thought it was Michael Jackson.

His 58-point game against USC in 1990 is still the greatest college basketball game I've ever witnessed.

Ralph Miller and Gary Payton sure seemed like a strange combo at first blush, but dang did that ever work out well. I still wonder what kind of player Payton would've been, if Ralph hadn't been there to guide him in the early going.

Good recent article on Payton: http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-t...st-john-stockton-and-the-art-of-talking-trash

When he was still in Seattle, I used to kayak near his yacht on Lake Union. It was pretty swanky, but more like a dinghy by Paul Allen standards.

GP will always be one of my favorite players. He could do it all.

Sweet deal, just bought a basketball signed by the new HOFer for $99. Not sure if anyone else is interested, but here's an attempt at the link:

FWIW, the place offering it is legit.

Every time I see this subject I read it as The Glove going to hell. Good for the Glove though.

Looks like my title is messing everyone up...I almost went with "Smell the Glove" as a title, but tried to go descriptive instead. Bad choice on my part lol

GP will always be one of my favorite players. He could do it all.

one of my very favorites as well... I just loved GP. Seeing him and Terrell Brandon square off at Mac Court was epic

a favorite quote from him responding to a question about if he felt humbled being drafted #2 overall, when the two highest guards drafted in recent years were MJ & Magic. "Players like Michael Magic and MYSELF aren't available very often".
