OP will be shocked if he finds out that Damion Lee is Dell Curry's son-in-law, who is Steph Curry's father, who is Seth Curry's brother, who is Doc Rivers' son-in-law, who is Austin Rivers' father.

Careful, you start googling what a vegetable actually is and you’re in for a world of hurt.

Imagine having 2 kids by 2 different women during the same 1-2 years span, and you give each kid the same name lol.

I feel bad for Gary Payton Jr. The IRS could have a field day with him if they make a mistake.

Hey buddy, why didn't you pay your taxes for your NBA salary? You are born in 1992? You are the son of NBA Legend Gary Payton, no?

That has a derogatory tone. Are you harassing the OP?

Just because you CAN make a thread doesn't always mean you SHOULD.

You dont know how to use google....


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]


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Payton#Personal_life

So Gary Payton has two sons named Gary.

George Foreman approves.


If you search "Gary Payton II father", i dont know how can't you get corect answer....

Here is an old story from Sports Illustrated on why Gary named his son Gary Payton II instead of of Gary Payton Jr.

In 1992, after Kimberly Sparks of Chicago gave birth to Gary Payton Jr. (not to
be confused with Gary Payton II, who was born to Payton's future
wife, Monique, four months later), Sparks sought 20% of Payton's
income in child support. Had Sparks succeeded, her son initially
would have received $35,000 per month, and support payments
would have risen to $208,333 a month in 1996, when Payton signed
a seven-year, $87.5 million contract. Realizing that such an
award would be rejected out of hand by a judge, Sparks moderated
her demand, and Payton agreed to contribute $5,550 a month in
child support, establish a $175,000 college trust fund and
purchase a $1 million life insurance policy naming the child as
beneficiary.

Now that's something, not only did he put two women pregnant at the same time, but he named both kids Gary Payton...

I guess it's better than George Foreman who managed to get to George 6. How does that even work in a house : "Hey 3 can you help 6 with his homework while 4 and 5 wash the dishes?"

What's weird is that Foreman named his 2nd son George 3, while Gary Payton went with Gary 2. I guess there's no rule for the few guys who name all their kids after themselves.
