If you didn't rock the GP's back in the day, you weren't shit. Those who weren't ballin back then get a free pass.

YES, YES, YES!

the 'gloves', word son. Those were the shit. Zips on the mother f()ckers!

The gloves, the Pippen's, the Pumps... everything was just better back then. Shoe companies these days have no outside the box thinking. Throw an jordan logo on it and a few color options and watch them line up on release day. If the same designers were around today that were around back then, nikka's be walking around with aquariums in their shoes.

don't think those were the original release colors back in the late 90's when they came out - the white pair with the neon green was hot fya - nevertheless, definitely a must cop if you could back in the day

The Glove!

I've always thought Payton's game-winner to cap off the big comeback in Game 3 of the 2006 Finals vs the Mavs is one of the most underrated Finals moments/shots of all time.

I'll never graduate high school due to the black guys bullying me

[feyki]

Second or third best perimeter defender and one of the top 40 GOAT .

[IllegalD]

That would make you 24 now, and still no highschool diploma.

Hold this eternal life L, Simon, baby boy.

When it comes to combining scoring, passing, and defense, I think GP is the best PG of all time. And to top it off, he could defend PG, SG, and many SF's in his era. Peak wise, I think he's in that top 5-6 level for PG's all time.
