Ring Chasers: Gary Payton’s Quest To Win A Ring

Gary Payton’s pursuit of an NBA championship ring was not easy.

Gary Payton is one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game.

He was a high-IQ, aggressive defender and a well-rounded offensive player.

He was able to stop the best players in the league and knock down shots in their faces.

This is how he got to be a 9-time NBA All-Star, a 9-time All-NBA player, and a 9-time All-Defensive player.

He also played on one of the best and most exciting teams in the NBA, the Seattle Supersonics.

With Shawn Kemp as his running mate, they led the Sonics to be a minimum 55-win team from 1992 to 1998.

They were also contenders in the majority of those playoffs as well.

But unfortunately, they played during an era that had a Michael Jordan, a Charles Barkley, and a Hakeem Olajuwon.
