Gary “The Glove” Payton was recently elected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. I saw a clip right after the announcement and Payton said a couple of interesting things. First, he said he thought of the current crop of players, John Wall had the most potential to equal The Glove defensively. Yow!
Second, Payton said he’d actually been dong some work with Wall. Never quite know what that really means, but it’s a good sign. And I think it’s starting to show in Wall’s game.
