And finally, here’s what former nine-time NBA All-Defensive Team selection Gary Payton had to say to Ed Odeven of the Japan Times about the mindset of current NBA players regarding playing defense, and the possibility of starting a camp to teach defensive skills to current players: ” ‘I can get 35 and you get 30 and I won. It doesn’t equal out to me,’ (Payton) told Hoop Scoop. ‘To let somebody get 30 points on you, and you feel good because you got 35 on them, that’s not good for me, you know what I’m saying? If I get 35, I want him to get 12 or 14 because that means I’ve done something. I’ve done my job. I went out there and played hard and did what I had to do. I’ve been thinking about doing that and I think guys would come to the camp, and I think I would get the guys who have that tough mentality to say, ‘yeah, I want to buckle down and do this.’ It would be good if I can get it started but my main concern is I would have to have guys who want to be dedicated to do that. I don’t want to waste my time.”
