The two met in the 1996 NBA Finals, and even though Payton lost that series, he believes that his SuperSonics had a strong chance to beat the Bulls coming off their record-breaking regular season run. Payton didn’t guard Jordan until Game 4. Gary Payton won the Defensive Player of the Year that season and he was also named to nine All-Defensive first teams in his career. #nba #nbafinals #garypayton #michaeljordan #chicagobulls #seattlesupersonics
