On “FOX Sports Live”, the new flagship program for Fox Sports 1, former Lakers and Sonics legend Gary Payton argued that John Stockton was harder to guard than Michael Jordan.
You can see Gary Payton make his case below.
Why are we talking about this? Well, this is a NBA heavy site. (Well, certainly at times there’s a lot of NBA content here) and this is as slow as it gets for NBA news. All the free agents you actually care about or have heard of are long signed. And we still have a ways to go before training camps open up.
So we’re showing video of The Glove bringing up yet another “MJ was as good as/not as good as/worse than player X” argument.
And it’s not like anything else of consequence happened in the world of the Utah Jazz and the Chicago Bulls today, so Gary Payton faux-debate it is!
Smell the glove!
Well, at least Gary Payton isn’t bringing up another MJ vs Lebron debate. We’ve had enough of those.
