By the time it took to create this thread, a quick Google search would’ve answered this in half the time.

Just going by the odds should have been plenty enough. What are the odds that another Gary Payton called his son Gary Payton II and that that random Gary Payton had great enough genes to pass to his son to make the NBA?

If something has to be 99.99% true, maybe don't bother researching.

By the way, Tim Hardaway Jr is the son of Tim Hardaway. No need to create a thread.

I did a quick google search and it says Gary Payton II has a sibling called Gary Payton Jr, but when you click on that link it shows the same person, so I question how accurate google is on the Payton family.

They even share the same middle name (Dwayne).
And basketball-reference says his nickname is "The Mitten".

Lol really? Does he realize that the mitten was what people started calling Payton after that disastrous 2004 finals with the Lakers? And we need to start bringing back the nicknames of the 80’s and early 90’s instead of using initials or a shortened version of a players name. Davion “Off Night” Mitchell is bringing the classic nicknames back.

Is Thanasis related to Giannis? I might have thought so at first blush, but Antetekounmpo is a very common last name (in a tiny village in Nigeria), and there is absolutely no resemblance between the two in basketball ability.

Payton is the son of Al and Annie Payton. He married Monique James on July 26, 1997. They later divorced. They lived in Oakland and Las Vegas and have three children: Gary II, Julian, and Raquel.[32] Payton also has another son named Gary Payton Jr with a different mother.[33]

So Gary Payton has two sons named Gary.

George Foreman approves.
