GP s on CP3 1 vs 1, both are great defenders and offensive players in their prime with CP3 being the better shooter but GP's defense alone would body him.
- He would make CP3 cry with his trash talking, forcing him to withdraw after 5 minutes
- He would slash Deron's bodyfat % in half with his spin moves
- And he would limit Stephen Curry's scoring, making him look like an ordinary player
- Derrick Rose ? N/A

EDIT : In the le I meant today's top PG's
can't you edit the le from the main forum page? (double click on your thread le)
I could be wrong
I think CP3 would be a bad matchup for Payton. His Hall-of-Fame defense would be negated once CP3 goes into flopping mode. Payton would always find himself in foul trouble whenever their teams got matched up.

yes you are
Tony Parker need not apply, of course.
you think I forgot about him ?
Everybody else has, in no small part to his excellent contest of Ray Allen's game tying three.
yeah. gp woukd honestly make cp3 cry tears.
Rondo is the only current top PG who'd challenge him, IMO. Dude is mentally tough in his own right.
Yeah the guy with no jump shot against the only PG who won DPOY
I would love to see that
Tony Flopper would fake another knee injury instead of facing Payton, tbqh....
To be fair, TP had 1 good game vs GP in the 2002 playoffs
Dude...I usually agree with some of your comments, but for a Clippers fan to call Tony Parker a flopper....that's just....sad.
Payton's game wouldn't translate outside of the physical and less skilled 90s, tbh..he wasn't a great shooter, he wasn't noticeably quick, and he was a low-IQ player, made evident by his struggles to comprehend the triangle offense during his time in Los Angeles..
Payton thrived on physicality on both ends of the floor more than athleticism, skills and IQ, tbh..his post game wouldn't be as effective in today's league, and he would not be permitted to be physical on the perimeter, from a defensive standpoint, tbh..
Less skilled 90's ?
Just the one?
Oh and Magic wasnt particularly quick or a great shooter either; plus he liked s
Bird looked like a guy you could beat up in your local gym
Fact: The league's better now than it was in the 90s in most respects.
Payton was the complete package. Also, Payton was able to guard SG's.
seriously though. double click the gray area just to the right of your thread le from the main forum pageyes you are
No it's worse
Much much worse
Payton would do a fine job guarding today's elite PGs imho. The prime Payton's defensive game was easily top3 of all time of this position, maybe only the prime Kidd would rival him defensively as a PG.
