The thing about all of them, is that they maybe had one or two games where Kobe shoot poorly and boom, their kobe stoppers

I wouldn't say shut down... But he'd be able to contain them better than most players today.

No.

I wish these old heads who have been out of the league for 5+ years would just @%%@ & stop sounding so bitter. Kobe & LeBron would have their way w/ him.

dont forget about tony allen 

and yeah payton's always had a big mouth. he'd bother kobe and bron on the perimeter but the size mismatch, especially against lebron, would be a joke. no coach in their right mind would assign payton to guard either of them man to man.

coincidence that he says it after LeBron had his worst game as a pro?

the thing about gary is he would go the extra mile to shut lebron down. he would do all of the game plan preparation and studying and have immense knowledge of how to stop lebron. i'm not talking about reading up on his tendencies as a player, rather i'm talking about gary would have sex with lebrons mom simply for the purpose of getting in his ear about it. you know lebron is missing a fadeaway when payton is screaming about getting in glorias guts during his release. the glove does what ever it takes.

Basically.

None of the top perimeter players can be shut down, these guys are way too offensively talented these days.

Not to forget ive seen my boy Nick Van Excel give GP the bizness a few times......GP is 1 of my fav players ever though.

It only took George Karl three games to realize that maybe he should put his best defender on Jordan. It was too late by then, but GP did hold Jordan to his worst averages in all of his Finals appearances. Another reason why Karl sucks.

You don't shut down guys like Kobe or Lebron. At best, you can hope they have bad shooting nights or are disengaged (see Lebron Game 4).

He would, however, make it a lot tougher than what they're accustomed to. Gary Payton was no joke fellas.

[westcoastsfinest]

to be fair, kobe learned a thing or two from gp. check 2000 all-star game. kobe always credits gp for his defense.

he wouldn't actually shut kobe or bron down but he'll make them work hard. players like bron and kobe will get theirs, they'll just have to adjust to gp's defense. for some of you guys saying gp will give bron fits, do you guys realize the weight and height difference between bron and gp?

 you can be a great defender all you want but when  you're overmatched in size, it'll catch up to you. mutombo was one of the greatest defending big men out there but shaq was just too much for him to handle.
