lstevens+FollowGP Needed 'Funk' to Rock JordansGary Payton was all about Nike—until he joined the Lakers and Jordan Brand came calling. Even though he used to battle MJ on the court, GP only agreed to wear Jordans if they brought the 'funk' with exclusive, flashy colorways. The result? Some of the dopest Air Jordans ever seen on the Lakers’ super team. But plot twist: he didn’t win a ring in LA, and when he finally did in Miami, he switched back to his own kicks! #GaryPayton #JordanBrand #Sneakerhead #Beauty70Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowGary Payton’s Triangle TroubleWhat happens when an NBA star meets a legendary system he doesn't gel with? Gary Payton’s time with the 2003-04 Lakers was all about this dilemma. Despite his brilliance, "The Glove" chose to play his way rather than embracing Phil Jackson's famed Triangle Offense. In his words, "I didn't want to learn the damn offense." Sometimes, even superstars find it tough to fit into a system that's just not them. 🤷♂️🏀 NBA #Lakers #GaryPayton #PhilJackson #TriangleOffense #Sports1056Share
FromTheLand+FollowBest-Looking NBA JerseyFor me, the best looking NBA jersey of all time is the Seattle SuperSonics classic. The green and yellow just hits different, and the mid-’90s style will always be iconic. There’s something about the Sonics look that makes me wish they were still around. What’s your favorite NBA jersey of all time? #NBAJersey #SuperSonics #GaryPayton #RetroNBA #NBA #Sports 6915Share
