These two used to really go at it. Fun to watch good competitors.

Payton and Barkley are the 2 players I miss most from when I first started watching

His defense on Kerr at 2:40 is how defense should be taught.

You got that right Jase. He refused to let MJ get anything easy too.
GP did this every night. He was a machine.
I'm not saying he was perfect in every facet of the game, but I honestly think his competitive drive and aggression made up for some of his weaknesses. I think if he would have played in a market like NY or LA in his prime, people would talk about him a lot more than they do.

Here are some more great GP highlights. He could score from anywhere on the court, he was the definition of the word "menace" on D, and you can't tell me he didn't have court vision or playmaking ability. He did this kind of stuff all the time in his prime. He played balls to the wall. That's why he burnt out so quick in the end.

Peyton for a four to five year period was having one the greatest PG seasons that anyone has had. While Kemp got the love, GP was the star. He is an example of a PG who lead his team to the promise land only to come up short.
