Gary Payton was known for his defensive prowess during his playing days.

However, GP was on the offensive front with the ladies, the man known as The Glove was clearly getting it in.

In the clip below, current NBA legend talked about his “George Foreman” moment whereby he named his two oldest sons after him, Gary Jr. and Gary II.

The former Seattle Supersonics star recounted the love triangle he found himself entangled during the time his sons were conceived by two different women.

However, Gary said he’s used that experience as a lesson for his children on how not to handle their romantic situations.

Watch below:

Definitely a George Foreman moment.

It might have been a little less confusing had he given them different names, no?

Like he said, at least his name is being kept on for whatever that’s worth. The Glove was all about that love.
