Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gary Dwayne Payton (born July 23, 1968) is a retired American professional basketball player. He is best known for his 13-year tenure with the Seattle SuperSonics, and holds Seattle franchise records in points, assists, and steals. He has also played with the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat, the last with whom he won his only NBA Championship. The only point guard ever to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award, Payton is widely considered one of the greatest of all time at that position. He was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team nine times, an NBA record he shares with Michael Jordan. His tenacious defense also earned him the nickname "The Glove". As the story goes, Payton''s cousin called him during the 1993 Western Conference Finals series against Phoenix and told him, "you''re holding Kevin Johnson like a baseball in a glove," and the nickname was born.
