I had no problem with Gary Payton.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Bulls went on to win the 1996 NBA Finals in six games. Michael Jordan averaged 27.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 42.0 minutes, shooting 41.5 percent from the field. MJ was named NBA Finals MVP.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Payton recently shared a story about Michael Jordan in an article he wrote for The Players\u2019 Tribune. His SuperSonics were facing the Bulls in the 1990-91 preseason. The Pistons still had the Bulls\u2019 number and Payton said: <em>\u201cAnd so I\u2019m coming in there, preseason, second pick in the draft. I don\u2019t care who the hell Michael Jordan is. I\u2019d seen him when I was coming up. To me it was like, O.K., he\u2019s good&#8230; but he\u2019s not all that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Payton explained that Jordan was on the bench most of the game since it was a preseason game, so B.J. Armstrong had him and Payton scored 19 points against him.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAnd I\u2019m a rookie, so of course I\u2019m talking crazy. I\u2019m talking sh*t to B.J. I\u2019m running by the bench, saying sh*t to MJ. I\u2019m staring guys down. I feel great,\u201d<\/em> Payton explained.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks later, the SuperSonics played the Bulls for the first time in the regular season. The game was in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve been working for it, waiting for it, I\u2019m ready. And of course, everybody\u2019s talking about how it\u2019s the Bulls \u2014 how Michael\u2019s coming to town. I\u2019m like, O.K. I gave them 19. I know I can get down on MJ, no problem,\u201d<\/em> Payton added.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSo we go out there before the game, and everybody is shaking hands at the circle. MJ wouldn\u2019t shake my hand. He turns to B.J. and he says, \u201cLeave the f*cking rookie to me,\u201d so everyone can hear it. Sh*t, O.K., I\u2019m thinking. Well f*ck it then. Bring it on.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The game got going, Payton explained and he\u2019s checking MJ, and seeing Phil Jackson start calling plays for Jordan \u2014 four, five, six straight times and Jordan scored every time.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMichael is on a different level than I knew there was. In a matter of minutes, I\u2019m in foul trouble. K.C. benches me. I didn\u2019t really go back in the game much more after that. I remember I finished with no points \u2014 played about seven or eight minutes. MJ ended up going for 33,\u201d<\/em> Payton added.<\/p>\n<p>According to Payton that wasn\u2019t the end of it: <em>\u201cNear the end of the game, I\u2019m sitting on the bench, and MJ comes over to our bench \u2014 comes right up to me while the game is still going on. Coach is standing right there. Everyone on the bench is staring at him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Looks right at me. \u201cThat sh*t you talking in preseason?\u201d The wild thing is, MJ isn\u2019t even mad or nothing. He\u2019s chewing his f*cking gum. \u201cThis is the real sh*t right here. Welcome to the NBA, little fella.\u201d\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Bulls won their first NBA Championship that season, and then five more before Jordan left for good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018The Last Dance\u2019 featured several raw, earnest reactions from Michael Jordan.
