They will definitely run this lineup at some point during the season.
Golden State Bootstrappers
Nepo babies 1 and all.
Why didn’t you list Gary Payton’s dad, how am I supposed to know who he is?
Because it's fucking obvious? Everyone knows Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton.
Nepotism team /s
Whoa I had no idea Trayce was Dale Davis’ kid
Who's Gary Payton II's dad?
Sean Payton, duh
Kevin James?
:\ shrugs
gary the snail Meow
Gary Payton I
No way
I, Payton
Walter Payton
Golden Spoon Warriors
Wait, how did the Warriors end up with Trayce?
He was pick #57
He fell way further than he should have. They actually traded up to get him, IIRC.

Surely the whole NBA can trace their lineage back to Wilt Chamberlain.

I remember Dale Davis on the Pistons. Dude looked like a grandpa even while he was playing, even though he was in his thirties.
Talk about Great Genes. The Warriors run makes even more sense now thinking about it. Clearly they have a type and the results speak for themselves.

Not really. Sure. They all had a huge leg up but if you replace Steph with Seth, they don't also have this success. What isn't that surprising is how many NBA players had dads that played. But becoming a dynasty has little to do with that.
Gp2 doesn’t have a father?
Somebody call Christian Cage
During the 2022 finals this was brought up in an interview and Steve Kerr said it was definitely an advantage in terms of making it to the NBA: obviously doesn't guarantee anything but seeing the work ethic required at an early age helps
Genes definitely help. The funniest to me is the offspring of Horace and Harvey Grant. Horace was the better player but his kids didn’t get the athletic talent. Harvey had four son play in college, 2 in the nba

You're just not going to tell us who Gary Payton II's dad was?
Nepo Bay-bies
Nothing like a San Francisco based organization to hand out jobs based on nepotism
Gotta be the first time in NBA history where five 2nd gens are on the same team? Maybe even in pro sports history.
Who is Gary Payton II’s dad? You didn’t mention him
I believe it’s The Glove, but apparently a glove wasn’t used.
the 2022 Pheonix Suns also did this, even more impressive their entire starting 5 had the same father

You didnt tell us what Gary Payton II's dads name was though
And who's father has clearly had the worst career outta this pack?
Fuckin' generational health
The Trust Fund Team
Playing in the 70s and 80s wasn’t exactly profitable like it is today. Especially non all stars.
It was a joke haha but if we were to look at it seriously then saying it wasn't profitable during the times these guys played is simply not true.
Every one of those players except Wiggins made millions of dollars which is more money than 99% of people will make in their entire lives.
Career Earnings of the mentioned players with current US dollars adjusted for inflation in parentheses.
Dell Curry / $19,296,000($37,499,691)
Gary Payton / $104,367,619($190,905,929)
Mychal Thompson / $2,422,000($5,498,422)
Mitchell Wiggins / $670,000($1,480,595)
Dale Davis / $77,281,958($136,891,413)
Even the guys like Wiggins and Thompson who weren't All Stars made a good amount of money in the context of how long they were in the league which was only 2 seasons each.
Wiggins who made the least of the 5 both in total and per year still made 335,00 a year more than most doctors and lawyers make but nobody would say being a lawyer of a doctor isn't profitable.
Now is that trust fund money? No clearly not haha but it was still profitable it's not like Mychal Thompson had to moonlight as a garbage man to support his family while he was in the NBA.

Back when GS played Cleveland in the finals something like 6 starters were second gen pro-NBA, WNBA, and overseas.
Who is Gary Payton’s dad?
Bring back Luke Walton to coach!
I like how you didn’t feel the need to put GPII’s dad in parenthesis
Who’s Gary Payton II’s dad though?
If Wilt Chamberlain really made love to over 10000 women, I bet this already accidentally happened.
