Gary Payton’s Triangle Trouble

What happens when an NBA star meets a legendary system he doesn't gel with? Gary Payton’s time with the 2003-04 Lakers was all about this dilemma. Despite his brilliance, "The Glove" chose to play his way rather than embracing Phil Jackson's famed Triangle Offense. In his words, "I didn't want to learn the damn offense." Sometimes, even superstars find it tough to fit into a system that's just not them. 🤷‍♂️🏀 NBA #Lakers #GaryPayton #PhilJackson #TriangleOffense #Sports
