If you wanna fight me after I say sorry then we can deal with that later on.'” – Gary Payton on trash talking. I’m going to say sorry to you and say it was just part of the game, so don’t worry about it. And then after the game, the would be like, ‘Ah, we’re going to fight after the game.’ I’d be like, ‘Listen here man, you really don’t want to fight me.
