Si Gary Payton ay isang alamat ng basketball at isa sa mga pinakakilalang manlalaro sa kasaysayan ng Oklahoma City Thunder. Nag-aral siya sa Oregon State. Ang kanyang pamana ay patuloy na nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa mga susunod na henerasyon ng mga manlalaro at tagahanga sa buong mundo.
Defensive Game
The only point guard in NBA history to win Defensive Player of the Year. Nine All-Defensive First Team selections. His ability to bodily contain opposing guards — including Michael Jordan — was historically unprecedented at his position.
Intangibles
Among the highest basketball IQs in the history of the point guard position. His defensive anticipation, offensive decision-making, and trash talk were all expressions of the same extraordinary basketball mind.
Lahat ng artikulo
The Glove. The only point guard ever named Defensive Player of the Year, the heartbeat of Seattle's golden era, and the snarling two-way force who took Jordan's 72-win Bulls to the brink. Why the franchise retired Gary Payton's #20.

Alam Mo Ba?
Payton is the only point guard in NBA history to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award — a category dominated by centers and forwards — a testament to his unique physical and mental defensive gifts.
His son Gary Payton II has carved out his own NBA career as a defensive specialist, continuing the family legacy of elite perimeter defense in the league.
Payton's trash talk was so renowned that coaches and players across the league kept journals of his most memorable lines — some of which have become part of NBA oral history.
He famously held Michael Jordan to below his scoring average in Games 4 and 5 of the 1996 NBA Finals after coach George Karl finally assigned Payton to guard MJ — a tactical decision many observers called 'too late.'
