Gary Payton

**Gary Dwayne Payton Sr.** (born July 23, 1968 in Oakland, California) is an American retired professional basketball player. He started at the point guard position. He is best known for his 13-year time with the Seattle SuperSonics, and holds Seattle franchise records in points, assists, and steals. He also played with the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat, the last with whom he won an NBA championship. He was nicknamed "**The Glove**" by his cousin during the 1993 Western Conference Finals against the Phoenix Suns when he held his opponent Kevin Johnson defensively "like a glove" on the court.  He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on September 8, 2013.  Payton is considered by many to be the greatest defensive guard of all time and one of the greatest defenders in basketball history.  He used his quick feet in order to master the art of staying in front of his opponent on defense.  He was also one of the best at guarding Michael Jordan, although in the 1996 NBA Finals the Sonics largely used Hersey Hawkins to guard Jordan.  Payton's best teammate for many years was All-Star Shawn Kemp, and the Sonics had many deep playoff runs including playing in the 1996 NBA Finals.

Payton is widely considered one of the best point guards of all time and is the only point guard who has won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award, which he won in 1996. He was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team nine times, an NBA record he shares with Michael Jordan, Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant. He was also a nine-time NBA All-Star and a nine-time All-NBA Team member.

Payton ranks fourth in steals, eighth in assists and 32nd in points among the NBA's career leaders.  Payton is also considered one of the greatest college basketball players of all time and ranks among all-time leaders in assists and steals.

Payton is also known by the much lesser used nickname **GP**, an initialism for his first and last name, which he even at one point had as a license plate.  One of his sons, Gary Payton II, has played in the NBA as well.
Walt Frazier

**Walter Frazier Jr.** (born March 29, 1945 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American former basketball player in the National Basketball Association.  Frazier is very well known by the nickname **Clyde** as well as the much lesser known nickname **Mr. Cool**.  He was raised in Southern Illinois.

As their floor general, he led the New York Knicks to the franchise's only two championships (1970 and 1973), and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987. Upon his retirement from basketball, Frazier went into broadcasting. He is currently a color commentator for telecasts of Knicks games on the MSG Network.

Frazier is thought of as one of the greatest point guards of all time, and particularly one of the greatest defensive guards as well. He was noted for his very quick hands, and it is claimed that he once stole the ball on eight consecutive plays in a 1971 game against Atlanta (steals were not an official statistic at the time).

At one point Frazier held the single-game championship round record for assists when he scored 36 points, had 19 assists, 7 rebounds (and a claimed 6 steals) in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals.

Frazier is also a spokesman for Just for Men hair products, often starring alongside baseball player Keith Hernandez.
