"Gary Payton: FIRST BALLOT OF HALL OF FAMER!!!!!"


  

          

CONGRATULATIONS! So deserving, to me this guy is the best point guard whose career I have seen from start to finish. I dare people to find a hole in this guy's game. Efficient scorer and distributor who was capable of dominating a game either way. He could shoot the ball from the perimeter or punish guys on the box. He was always smooth, but never flashy, he found style in function. He was equally comfortable on the break or in the half court. Defensively, he was probably the one hyped up perimeter defender whose reputation was entirely deserved. He had a tremendous motor, too, never ran out of gas. If that doesn't sell you, he once came up to then rookie Steve Francis at tip off and licked the side of his face. Welcome to the league!

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
