Gary Payton is a hybrid strain bred by Powerzzzup Genetics in collaboration with Cookies, created from a cross of The Y and Snowman — both Girl Scout Cookies descendants. Named after the NBA Hall of Fame point guard, the strain plays defense on stress and offense on flavor, delivering a sharp, gassy, cookie-forward terp profile with an undertone of diesel and spice that separates it from the sweeter Cookies crosses. THC levels consistently test between 25–30%, and the high hits like a franchise player — a fast, focused cerebral onset that builds into a full-body calm without putting you on the bench.

Gary Payton
Gary Payton is the headliner — a hybrid from Powerzzzup and Cookies crossing The Y with Snowman, both GSC phenotypes, that delivers one of the loudest, most complex flavor profiles in the modern Cookies catalog. The taste opens with sharp fuel and pepper, transitions into earthy cookie dough, and finishes with a savory, almost herbal bite that keeps your palate guessing. The high matches the complexity: a quick-hitting cerebral rush that sharpens focus before easing into balanced, full-body relaxation. It’s a strain that demands attention and rewards it.

Gary Payton #2
Gary Payton #2 is a secondary phenotype selection that dials back the gas slightly and lets the cookie sweetness push forward. The hybrid effects are similar to the original but with a touch more body relaxation and less of the sharp cerebral edge — think of it as the fourth-quarter version of GP, when the intensity settles into smooth control. The buds are dense and olive-green with a heavy trichome coat, and the nose is earthy sweetness with a fuel finish.

The Glove
The Glove is a Gary Payton phenotype or derivative named after Payton’s legendary NBA nickname. This hybrid leans into the defensive side of the genetics — heavier body effects, deeper physical relaxation, and a sedative finish that the original GP keeps at bay. The flavor stays in the gas-and-cookie lane but with an added earthy depth that makes the smoke feel thicker and more substantial. If standard Gary Payton is the fast break, The Glove is the lockdown that follows.

Point Guard
Point Guard takes the Gary Payton genetics and crosses them with a sativa-leaning strain to push the cerebral, focused effects to the front of the lineup. The flavor keeps the gassy, peppery base of GP but adds a brighter, almost citrus-tinged top note that lightens the profile. The hybrid high is energetic and clear — a productivity strain that borrows GP’s intensity without the body-heavy second half. It’s named for the position for a reason: fast, precise, and always running the floor.

Collins Ave
Collins Ave is a Cookies collaboration strain that shares the same genetic universe as Gary Payton — built from proprietary GSC family genetics with a focus on bag appeal and terp complexity. The flavor profile is sweet, gassy, and slightly floral with a minty finish that distinguishes it from GP’s sharper fuel notes. This hybrid delivers a balanced high that opens relaxed and stays there, making it a smooth complement to the more intense Gary Payton experience.

Gary Payton Strains in NYC
Gary Payton is a hybrid strain bred by Powerzzzup Genetics and Cookies from a cross of The Y and Snowman, both Girl Scout Cookies descendants, delivering a gassy, peppery, cookie-forward flavor profile with one of the most complex terp expressions in the Cookies catalog. From that base, the GP family expanded — Gary Payton #2 softened the intensity into a smoother phenotype, The Glove pushed the body effects into lockdown territory, and Point Guard rerouted the genetics toward sativa-driven focus and energy. Crosses like Grenadine introduced fruit-forward sweetness, while Collins Ave explored a more floral, minty angle within the same Cookies universe. Parent strains Snowman and The Y anchor the lineage and also connect Gary Payton directly to Cereal Milk — same parents, different phenotype expression. Broader Cookies family members like Cheetah Piss and Runtz share the genetic DNA and illustrate the extraordinary range of what the GSC foundation can produce. At IGNYTE Cannabis Dispensary in Whitestone, we carry the best of the Gary Payton lineup in lab-tested flower and pre-rolls, with fast cannabis delivery and pickup serving Whitestone, Flushing, Bayside, College Point, Fresh Meadows, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, and surrounding NYC areas — the full roster, available near you.
