<div class="entry"> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>With the almost absolutely final word that Gary Payton has retired, ring on hand, pundits have begun guaginghis career against that of another Oakland-born point guard,Jason Kidd. The two, whogrew uponan Oaklandplayground, are classic West Coast point guards, more pass-first, less dribble-happy than their New York counterparts.</div></p> </div> GP feeling free, retirement plans 'kind of definite' - J. A. Adande - ESPN Missing the point: The Glove doesn't get enough love - John Hollinger - ESPN Insider Oakland’s All-Time Greatest Point Guard(The Kidd vs. Payton Link) - Oly Sandor - Hoopsvibe</p> I grew up watching the great Payton-Kemp tandom in Seattle (Kemp's my all-time favorite player). This is an impossible decision to me, I can't even choose between the 2.</p>
Kidd is better, because He led a bad team to the final for two times. And he is the Mr.Triple-Double.</p> By the way, Kidd is handsomer than Payton.</p>
^ I disagree Jarkid.</p> Payton's sleek African features and high muscle tone make him a shoe in. Kidd's head looks wrinkley like a package of hot dogs. Oh that Payton, what a dreamboat.</p>
Me, too. The main thing Payton has over Kidd is his defense which Kidd isn't too shabby at either. Of course Payton had that badass intimidation thing going for him which really affected opponents. I'd take Kidd over Payton eight times out of ten.</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GrandKenyon6)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> I don't think it's a very tough choice, and this isn't homerism talking.</p> </div></p> </p>
