The Glove and The Reignman are back together again! Alright maybe not like in the video above but those highlights are sick. Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp completely dominated in the 90’s and made basketball look real fun for people in Seattle and Supersonics fans.
Now, fast forward about 20 years and here we are, admiring Shawn Kemp Jr and Gary Payton II in college basketball as they facing off against each other. The young talents played each other as younger Payton’s Oregon State Beavers had their only visit Washington state to play the Washington Huskies and Shawn Kemp Jr.
The Dad’s, in fitting proud dad fashion, enjoyed the game and their time in Washington state together again.

The fans even acknowledged the greatness that is Kemp and Payton being back in the state of Washington.

Great to see these 2 together again enjoying some basketball, and even better seeing them be proud fathers for their sons.
Check out the highlights of the star-named sons facing off.
