Gary Payton tells epic story of the time Michael Jordan shut down his trash talking

Posted Dec 27, 2017
Gary Payton told stories about his childhood and his time on the Seattle Supersonics for a Players’ Tribune piece that published on Thursday. One of the best stories he included was about the first time he faced fellow Hall of Famer Michael Jordan as a rookie and made the mistake of talking trash. At that time in 1990, as Payton explains, Jordan wasn’t a legend yet. (USA Today)
