I had no prob with GP2's comments. He's 28 not a young gun, and how much he's offered will have a lot to do with whether he remains a Warrior. I hope he remains a Warrior, but the org will do what's best for the org, and GP2 will do what's best for him personally, and sometimes these don't always align. Let's hope things work out right tho.

Thanks for having the video of these interviews!

It is so much more informative to hear what is actually said in response to the questions and how the players look when the respond. Just reading some sometimes random quotes is not as insightful and interesting.

All I can say is I heard the dad say that and it bothered me. I have no ability to go back to all I have seen in the last 3-4 months to find his exact words. As I said, I did not think there was anyone else on the site and so I went ahead and speculated about Payton and his dad, first from what I observed, and second from this medical professional who treats Gary Payton. I am 77 years old and have spent some time observing human nature. To speculate/comment on human interactions is not necessarily judgmental, but I now understand that it is not something you want in your discussions.

And you are absolutely right, this is your site, and everyone should follow your criteria. I did not know what they were, but now that I do, I will definitely follow them and in the future I will read, enjoy, and appreciate.

Since no one else is here I will say my piece. Sometimes GP2 sounds like a 17-year-old, not a 28-year-old. If you look at the father-son interaction, it almost seems like GP2 is being infantilized by his father. I go to a medical professional who treats GP2 and he tells me that the father is there all the time telling both of them what to do. Who knows?!

So interesting. I previously saw clips with GP implying his son might not be back. GPII ‘s words here are not exactly encouraging. The Warriors seem, I repeat seem, to be a team that is a lot about loyalty. So I am not thrilled by Gary PaytonII ‘s response.
