Gary Payton II children: Meet Gary Jr. and Gary II

Gary II was born in 1992, and in high school, he began following in his father’s footsteps.

He played basketball for two years at Spring Valley High School before going on to play at Salt Lake Community College.

His professional career started in 2016, and his father expressed his hopes for him.

Gary Payton Jr. was born to “The Glove” during a brief connection with another lady, the identity of whom was never revealed.

He, like his half-sister Raquel, avoided the limelight on a regular basis.

He has a quite active Instagram account and frequently publishes photos of himself.
