In this clip, Gary Payton detailed losing the Finals against the Detroit Pistons and how badly Kobe took the loss. According to Gary, Kobe didn't talk much at all afterward but the loss wasn't entirely surprising to Gary. He said he knew the Lakers weren't equipped to beat the Pistons after Game 1 and it was even more apparent when they traveled to Detroit. Later, Gary recounted rejoining Shaq, only this time in Miami alongside a young Dwyane Wade and what it took for that team to win it all in 2006.
