"The Glove" is one of the greatest defensive guards in NBA history — a 9x All-Defensive First Team selection, 1996 Defensive Player of the Year, and NBA Champion with the Miami Heat. He was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2013.
From the Sonics to the Heat, GP set the standard — and meeting him was a full-circle moment. 🙌🏾

Thank you @gary.payton.20 for showing love and supporting the @womenspba — it means everything to see legends uplift the next generation! 🙏🏾💪🏾
