He is the son of Hall of Famer Gary Payton.[2] He is sometimes called "Young Glove" in reference to his father's nickname, "the Glove."[3] His other nickname is “the Mitten”, but he prefers Young Glove.[4][5][6][7] He is also commonly referred to as "GP2".

High school and college career

Payton was born in Seattle to Monique and Gary Payton, while his father was a member of the Seattle SuperSonics. He attended Spring Valley High School where he lettered two years in basketball and one year in swimming before graduating in 2011. He then enrolled at Westwind Preparatory Academy for the 2011–12 season.

Salt Lake Bruins

Payton played two seasons at Salt Lake Community College in Salt Lake City, Utah. He averaged 9.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.9 steals per game as a freshman (2012–13) and led the Bruins to a 29–5 overall record and 14–1 mark in the Scenic West Athletic Conference (SWAC), where they won the Region 18 Championship and outright SWAC title in 2013. Payton was named First Team All-SWAC and made Region 18 All-Tournament Team as a freshman. In his sophomore year, he averaged 14.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.9 steals per game, earning him Second Team NJCAA Division I All-American honors, and was voted 2014 Region 18 Co-Player of the Year and Region 18 Tournament Most Valuable Player. The Bruins finished with a 27–7 overall record and won their second consecutive Region 18 Championship.[2]

Oregon State Beavers

During Payton's sophomore season at Salt Lake CC he signed a letter of intent to play for his father's alma mater Oregon State under coach Craig Robinson.[8] Robinson was fired before the start of the 2014–15 basketball season and was replaced by University of Montana head coach Wayne Tinkle.[9][10] Having lost their top five scorers from the previous season, Pac-12 coaches picked Oregon State to finish 12th in the 2014–15 season.[11] Instead, the up-tempo Beavers finished 7th with a 4–1 record against the conference's top three teams, Arizona, Oregon and Utah. In their game against Grambling State, Payton recorded 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming only the second Beaver ever with a triple-double in a game. His father, Hall of Famer Gary Payton, is the other Beaver with a triple-double when he had 20 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists against the University of Portland in 1988.[12] Following a home sweep of the Los Angeles schools Payton was named the January 26, 2015 Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week.[13] During his first season at Oregon State Payton led his team in multiple categories: scoring, rebounds, and steals.[14] On March 9, 2015, Pac-12 coaches voted Payton to the All-Pac-12 First Team, All-Pac-12 Defensive Team and named him the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.[15]

On February 1, 2016, he was named one of 10 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award for top point guard of the year.[16] He was named to the 35-man mid-season watchlist for the Naismith Player of the Year on February 11.[17]

In Game 2, he fractured his left elbow when he went up for a fast-break layup but fell hard after the Grizzlies' Dillon Brooks chased him down and hit him in the head while he was in the air.[47]

In Game 5 of the Finals, Payton posted 15 points, five rebounds and three steals in a 104–94 win over the Boston Celtics.[48][49][50] The Warriors went on to win Game 6, where Payton played a major defensive role, and Payton won his first NBA championship.
