YES! He is a huge part of the warriors

Absolutely

Definitely he's a defensive menace!!!

My only question is can the warriors keep bjelica, porter jr and gp2

@@gregorysamaniego36 I think they can do away with porter jr

Except Kelly Oubre 😂😂

@@ninosplvsh maybe Westbrook should make a quick stop there and take a trial run.

@@MK-qs6os 🤣🤣

Its has a name: stephen curry

Players comment that they have freedom to play "their" game instead of putting round peg in square hole like a lot of teams do or else sign the big names & clearly don't fit the team. Warriors do the opposite - here's what kind of player we need - who plays like that?

debatable but he’s definitely up there

Poole actually

When talent is not on his side hard work kicks in. Just like how Kobe did. His not talented as MJ but his really hard working player putting huge amount of effort to improve.

him and poole fosholy

@@waynesun4052 I mean, I know you wanna praise the late Kobester but saying he had no talent or debatable talent, that such a huge huge laid egg from your side. If you say Kobe did not have the physical attributes MJ had, now I’ll give it to you. But man, Kobe was drafted as a high schooler precisely for his immense talent, that put way above his contemporaries and above a great chunk of already established NBA ballers. It was his body that broke down too early, and went that far in his career because his talent, hard work and will power. Players with less injuries retired earlier or underperformed.

He's a true warrior and belongs on the team. Makes a difference every time he's on the floor.

It's weird. He's the antithesis of his dad as far as $hit talking goes. And he's far more athletic. But that GP I defense runs through his veins.

@@carolmiller5713 hopefully warriors can bring him back. He is due for some biggggg money in free agency

Santa Cruz warriors stay getting chips

That's exactly what GP2 said.

@@carolmiller5713 Come to think of it, "Just a chance and miniscule opportunity to show what they can do." Is what 99.9999% of the people I know need to show how spectacular they can be at something they put their mind to.

That’s what it’s for to develop raw but good talent

Thats like the whole fucking world...

We glad to have him up in Portland.

Thank you for your story! Warriors have a unique way to play and allow players a lot of freedom where GP2 clearly shines. As a Warriors fan, not paying attention thru summer, not knowing who he was (I grew up in WA state but didn't follow Sonics in his dad's time) but when I saw his first game the universe was on fire, then he made those dunks! 😳 he's so fun to watch, so much energy, talent & heart - clearly a true warrior. I hope he stays with us but if not, NBA is now properly introduced to Mr Payton II. 💙🏀💛

@@carolmiller5713 Well said!

What other players are you rooting for who are not very known?

Really enjoyed reading this! Best wishes to GP2 and GSW!

​@@marksvids1156 Well, again, this sounds very self-serving, and only my wife, who watches every game with me, can back it up, but I spent the last couple of years claiming that Jordan Poole was going to be something special when so many were saying he was a bust. Again, it was because of my experience as a middle and high school teacher in the black community. I hope I don't offend anybody by saying this, but I can spot a good, well-intentioned, hard-working black kid when I see one because I taught so many. Jordan just stood out to me as a nice young man who would embrace the opportunity to learn and grow from the teaching of Steph Curry. And you can so clearly see it in his game now. The first year when Steph was hurt, he had a tendency to run down the court on offense and just stand around waiting for something to happen. Now, he is running around and cutting all over the place, making things happen- just like Steph! I loved the kids I taught, and I think it is pretty safe for me to say that they loved me too. There was lots of fun in Mister T's classroom and a lot of healing, too. My wife and I have kind of an unwritten agreement: She watches every Warriors Game with me, but we only (for the most part) watch the other teams during the playoffs. So I don't really have a lot of sleepers that I can point to that are generally underrated on the other teams. I will say this, every player on the Warriors, 1-15, has tremendous potential. I think this is one of the deepest teams in BB history. My wife and I loved the Larry Bird Celtics back in the '80s, but they had almost nobody who could come off the bench. Darren Day comes to mind, and that is about it. These Warriors are loaded! My tip - don't underestimate Chiozza! I am not predicting superstardom, but he has some intangibles and will have a longer career than many might now think. One last thing - I never want to hear any self-proclaimed Warriors fan ever again ask hypothetically if we should trade Draymond. Asking that just proves to me that this person doesn't know anything about BB. I will say this to balance out my claims of uncommon BB knowledge - I was not a believer in Kevon Looney when he first started. I kept hollering at the TV, "don't throw him the ball; he can't catch it!" Boy, was I proven wrong about that! Kevon has developed into a quality center with great hands. So, while I trust my judgment and intuition a whole lot, I am willing to admit I'm not infallible.

I love crazy! Especially on Warriors. There's already an extra spark & steals from teammates so maybe it's started. Outside the Box is one reason Warriors are so great.

I`ll check it out.

His size is actually an asset as he moves quick & low to floor (low center of gravity) while using less energy. Work, talent, heart.

You are so right, tenacious "D" seems to be infectious.

Thanks for the kind words Julian 🔥🔥🔥

Agree 100%. Also the way he carries himself when guarding people is remarkable, while going after them with quite some physicality he doesn't talk dirty or do dirty tricks, and behaves like a gentleman, for example helping CP3 up after fouling him or tapping JaVale on the shoulder after some contact

not dialing back what I said about GPII being my fave new NBA baller, but I'm disagreeing w/ all the folk declaring he may do for D what Steph has done for 3s GPII is a great defender; but it isn't as if his D is some new phenomena for this team the Dubs have been committed to great team D since Mark Jackson was coach and let's not forget or dismiss what their underrated young bench did during their 15-5 finish last season it's also way cool that GPII has folk remembering his dad again. GPsr was also a helluva lot of fun to watch

Andrew Wiggins is an All-Star. If he should have been a starter is debatable, but he deserves this selection. He really pulled up his reputation by the bootstraps. Draymond is an All-Star as well, as he should be.

Right. MJ’s kids, Patrick Ewing’s, John Stockton’s and so many more would disagree with you, I bet. Living up to expectations set by a legendary parent is different from selling dope at 12 yo in order to support your family, neither dangerous nor tragic, and there’s a level of financial security that comes with having a parent like Gary Payton. Yet don’t underestimate what children of all-time greats have to overcome, most of them are doomed to fail reaching the heights their parents have, right from the start

He even plays that position! He plays inside, Beli plays outside ! 😻
