His father Gary Payton is considered one of the five greatest defensive players in NBA history — a Hall of Famer who earned the nickname 'The Glove' for his suffocating man-to-man coverage and won Defensive Player of the Year in 1996.
Payton II went undrafted in 2016 and spent years bouncing through the G League and short contracts before emerging as one of the best defensive guards in the NBA — one of the most remarkable late-bloomer stories in recent basketball history.
His 2021-22 shooting efficiency was remarkable: 69.5% on two-point attempts, one of the highest marks in the entire NBA, reflecting his philosophy of only attempting shots he can genuinely convert.
He has played for multiple NBA franchises across his career, but has always found his ceiling in Golden State's championship-caliber culture where defensive excellence is celebrated.
