Gary Payton once appeared on the "Truth and Basketball" podcast and shared the trash talk his father had told him.

During his high school years, Gary Payton wasn't solely focused on basketball; he was involved in various sports.
"One summer, my dad told me I wasn't a good basketball player," Gary Payton recalled, "Haha, he said I was a poor player... then he told me to find something else in my class or get a scholarship, because he wouldn't pay for my college tuition.

Gary Payton embarked on his journey, and after experiencing five NBA teams and five G-League teams, he achieved his sixth NBA championship this year with the Warriors.
