Six years later, Hall of Famer Gary Payton is firing back at Michael Jordan, and making it clear that while Jordan can say whatever he pleases in his own doc, in which the Bulls legend’s production company was involved as a partner, the numbers tell another story...

“It’s his documentary,” Payton said on Run It Back. “He can say whatever he wants to. But as we look at the numbers, he was averaging 30, and then he started averaging 23. So if he had no problems with me, I surely didn’t have any problems with him because he couldn’t guard me as well. We’re competitive, and he said what he said. That was his documentary, and that’s good, fine, whatever he wants.

“I wouldn’t even respect him if he didn’t say nothing less than that; I’m going to say the same thing. I’m not going to laugh because everybody know the outcome of that. And it was funny because if you look at the numbers, it did change after game three. So, I don’t have no problems with that.”
