Damn, 2K sending out the glove to steal our money
[Deleted]
underrated? lost respect? Most people don't realize that in his prime he was one of the best defenders??? What are you talking about..
First off, he is not underrated, the glove is in the Hall of Fame for a reason. Just look at his accomplishments. People that know basketball know the glove is probably the best point guard defender of all time. Him or Walt Frazier are close to the best. GP is still a top 20 point guard of all time
Yeah but he is only known inside the basketball community. Unlike MJ, Kareem, Wilt, Stockton, Malone, Lebron, Steph. Certain guys have star appeal. Gary doesn't have it. So I would say he's not under rated but rather under appreciated
Show 1 reply...That's because he played in a small market and was overshadowed by the fact that he had an amazing team! During that time there were many exciting point guards in bigger markets. He played on the only team in history(at the time) to have 5 players that each scored 1000 points or more in a season! Himself included. He was very much under appreciated by the non basketball world.
People don't talk about him anymore and he deserves to be talked about
He underrated AF
This man is the reason I started watching basketball. Back in 1996, Game 5 of the NBA Finals, (we moved to Illinois, we lived in Seattle before, how ironic.) I literally am like 3 feet away from Gary at the end of the game, I don't know what to say by that point and then I became a Sonics fan. He is my favorite player of all time. This is such a late comment but he is indeed a very underrated legend, the best defensive PG ever imo. #GiveTheGloveSomeLove
Don't let him near your girl or she will be stolen by the end of the night....
99 Steal means i still have a chance
The only thing you have a chance with is catching these mother fucking hands you fucking cunt bag. Russell westGOAT is the best player of ALL TIME do you see the triple doubles. IDK about you but I would rather have a trip dub than a ring bitch. HE would put his nuts on your fucking face and fuck your girl at the same time. He has more trip dubs than gary has steals. And your YT channel is shit so just go KYS m8.
Show 1 reply...99 steal is too low for him lol
When you see sullinger finishing off that 7th bag of potato chips
@ShawnKemp40 looks like we're officially a duo :))
This man needs a Home where him and the Rain Man can have there jerseys in the rafters. #BringOurSonicsBack
If I play against this guy the amount of dumb charges i'll get called for will be insane.
99 steal, HOF pick pocket badge, never playing blacktop or MTO ever again lmao
How the fuck does he not have Hall of Fame Lob City Passer???!!!?!??!?!!! 2gay go and fucking kill yourself.
They finally fixed Kemps Speed With Ball. Now it is time to fix Gary and give him Hall of Fame Lob City Passer. How can anyone have this badge over Gary. Come on 2K you know what to do.
Now 2K you've listened to my first 2 comments. Now the 3rd. Give Gary Hall of Fame Lob City Passer already?
Since I'm wayyyy to lazy to write a review, here's my mini review:
Defense: Incredible
Midrange: GREAT
3 Pt: HORRIRRIRIRIRIIRBBELELELELELE
99 Trashtalk too
Say goodbye to your starting PG
Fr, I quit 2k
That block is godly
when you said the block was godly i was like no way 2k... no they didnt thank god
Same
Have u seen the standing dunk it's amazing
Best there is.
Dudes better than My diamond moncrief. And he had 99 DEFENSE on his GOLD 2K16 CARD.
there are literally just 2 defensive stats of his that are under 95.
Yep. That is SCARY good.
And they are what you would expect from a PG
And 70 post defense is still pretty good.
3 that are under 98, like wtf?
99 steal holy....
he's the glove for a reason
yeahhhhh
99 stealing is a gg
99 steal, holy shit.
It's unreal but if anything my one complaint would be all the 98s. He was called "The Glove" for a reason, how are they not all 99s except low post D, block, and shot contest. I mean Gary Payton only a 98 defensive consistency? Please
Why tf are you complaining that he doesn't have a 99?! His stats are freakin godly!!! I swear every time a card comes out, y'all have to find something to complain about. It's so freakin annoying like damn.
If you had an even moderate understanding of the rating system you would understand why I said that. They only give 99s to someone who is considered to be the absolute best at that category. So please, tell me who has better defensive consistency than him? And every single perimeter defensive category, who is better than him in NBA history? I'm not saying the card isn't good but unless they come out with a pink diamond Payton then the ratings don't make perfect sense. Come on use your head, same to all the other idiots that down voted and don't understand the rating system. But it is the 2K community so not like you guys actually know anything about real basketball anyways...
Trust me I know about basketball players. Stop complaining and just appreciate this amazing card we got. His stats are amazing so just accept it. People downvoted because they are tired of people like you complaining about EVERY card that comes out.
You're acting like I trashed the card, I said I had one minor complaint which is valid and accurate. You might not agree with it but I'm sorry I don't get on my knees for every card 2K gives us like its god sent when there are things that could be improved. God forbid I hope for a better MyTeam experience.
Altiro knows exactly what he's on about. All these idiots obviously don't know The Glove.
It's one fucking attribute point lmao
I see your point bro, game breakers are called game breakers for a reason. Should be representative of the best defensive PG of all time.
And a 94 open 3pt? Since when had GP that kind of shot?
Since when you never watch him actually play.
Please give some of your infinite knowledge. His best shooting year was 00-01 when he shot .375 on 3.4 3s attempted per game
And whats wrong with those stats? He has made 8 threes in a game before. You can take your lazy smart ass comment and do some study on YouTube.
It's not worth a 94 3 pointer rating, you know this year they upped everybodies shooting stats, that's what I have a problem with
Yeah exactly and if everyones stats are up defence included doesn't that balance everything out? Like when they brought out the new rating system not to long ago for normal 2k....
I think it takes out the poor realism 2k had left. Hakeem, Garnett, Ewing with a 3pt? I don't care everyone else's defense is up, this ratings make every player turn into a god
I don't understand how nobody ever talks about players Tendencies, look at these players 3 point shot tendency, it's low its not just a calculation of a players attribute that dictates how they can score.
