OT: Will there ever be another Gary Payton "The Glove" in the NBA?

In his prime, this cat was dropping 20, dishing 8 assists, 2 steals and 5 boards. Also getting an amazing 23 PER with being the best defensive PG in the league.

The only other player I think is somewhat similar is Rondo.

I would trade Sly's left nut for an opportunity to grab a player like him. Always loved his game.

I don't know, but I gave my doctor the same nickname.

last season westbrook averaged 22/8/5/2 with a PER over 23.
He COULD be good defensively, but doesn't seem to care anymore.

I think Wrotten will be Glove light? Maybe the Mitten?

maybe one of those gloves with the fingers cut off?

yeah Westbrook is definitely that type of player. Possibly a much better scorer too.

LeBron James is a bigger and better version of GP, and James does play great defense.

27ppg/8rpg/7apg/2spg/1bpg this year. His assist numbers in Cleveland were even better, but he shares the ball with Wade no in many offensive sets.

except as he has started to look for his shot more and moer, his assists have dropped a ton this year.

But James isn't a PG anymore. Hasn't been one for over 5 years. I'm talking PGs. James is like a Jordan. It doesn't matter the position, he's just one of the best.

James is basically the PG in their offense.

Maybe. I'll have to think on that instead of getting my TPS reports done

Oh, very nice!

Okay I concede. He is definitely their playmaking wing.

Did you get the memo?

Just a great movie. We actually have a good sense of humor here at my work and have the actual TPS cover sheet we send on all reports

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

No there will never be another PG like Gary Payton. One of a kind... and a former Beaver!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Chaz Bono was also a former Beaver

I have the DVD and I usually watch it like every 3 months. I can't believe I still laugh at the funny parts. My favorite scene is when he asked the construction worker "Does anyone at your job every tell you that you have the case of the Mondays?" and the construction worker has this bewildered face and replies "No... No man... No way... I think you get your ass kicked for something like that."

Payton was the most dominant defensive guard we may ever see. I remember watching him just destroy teams in Gill - and then turn on the offense when it was needed. His 55 point game in '90 against USC is still the most awesome collegiate performance I've ever witnessed.

Damn Mags, what's with always wanting to trade my left nut?!?

haha. Oh that scene. I love that scene. Gotta love Michael Bolton

 

[jlprk]

I've learned that non-Sonic fans who didn't watch him overrate his NBA career, and that he made a good movie.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Gary Payton without the handcheck wouldn't quite be the same guy ...

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Chaz Bono was also a former Beaver

Then she went through that nasty procedure and became a Duck.

Gramps...

So you agree that Beavers have no penis? Smart man
