Gary Payton II has a straightforward warning for teams that are not treating the Warriors with reverence as the NBA playoffs begin in 2023. In conversation with 95.7 On Thursday's "Steiny and Guru," Payton succinctly offered his views on Golden State's critics. "I'll see you in the postseason." "We'll figure it out in the playoffs," Payton said when asked what he would say to those who believe Golden State should not be feared in the postseason. "All I can say is that we'll figure it out in the playoffs." "I don't know what to say if you're not there." With a record of 40-37, the Warriors are presently the sixth seed in the Western Conference, one game behind the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers and one game clear of the seventh-seeded New Orleans Pelicans. Throughout the 2022-23 NBA season, the Warriors have hovered around.500, which is uncharacteristic of a reigning winner. As a consequence, it's understandable why some teams believe the Warriors can be defeated this season. Golden State hopes that with Payton's return to the Bay Area, the Warriors can recapture some of the charm that carried them to their fourth title in eight years last season.

And should that be the case, Payton certainly will have kept the receipts when the time comes.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
