Gary Payton: My First NBA Game was Against Jordan, I Scored Zero Points (Part 5)

--------
In this clip, Gary Payton spoke about his first-ever NBA game, where he says he faced off with Michael Jordan for 8-minutes and scored no points. Gary admitted that he was partying and not taking his NBA career seriously because he thought that he had made it. He went on to speak about how his mindset changed, and Gary also spoke about having his first son, Gary Payton II, who is now an NBA player.

I was a huge Gary Payton fan as a teenager plus he was hanging out with too short he was locking people down it was awesome to watch . Now his son is balling out with the warriors and I've become a huge fan of his too

"Everybody I got the youngster." 😂😂😂 I can hear Mike saying this

[KexiGina]

Your first game against MJ & he’s taking it personal. That’s gotta be rough.

“I never had a problem with the glove”
Jordan, Jackson, Tyson

[gilbertnicholas]

EVERY player from the 80's and 90's has a story of getting murked by Mike

[jasonjenkins]

“Everybody I got the youngster” that is absolutely terrifying coming from Jordan lol

Gary Payton shows how you always have to work on your game. Someone is always in the gym trying to get better. Hustle like your head is on fire.

In his 17 years inna league GP missed 17 games. That’s a feat. That should be a record. Especially as tough as it was to play in those days. The competition was tough as nails bacc then.

GP is being humble. I remember when he got drafted and told the interviewer, "Once I get my jumper straight, I think I'll be alright." He was more than alright! The Glove shut everyone down! Well, except that one guy in Chicago! Lol!

Man that era was sooo special. I think what made it special was because there was a superstar on almost every team. Nothing against the super teams of today but that 90s era was so special.

"The Glove didn't fit."- MJ

[amazinglife]

Gary Payton is the TRUTH! I like listening to GP.

[zerofifty]

He must be so proud of his son these days

Gary is misremembering. His 6th game was against Jordan. Gary played 21 minutes and scored 2 points.

Jordan had 33 points, 7 steals in 27 minutes.

GP has to be the realest NBA player ever

Just like Marshawn Lynch, Gary Payton has that Bay Area, - Oakland twang when he speaks. Love it!
