1996-1997 defensive player of the year, All NBA second team, and All-Defensive First Team. The Glove. Gary Payton was born on July 23 1968, in Oakland, California.

He finished the year ranked 12th in assists and 20th in steals and outranking all the rookies in both categories.

All of his stats improved in the rest of the years. In the 1995-96 season he took his third trip to the NBA All-Star Classic. Most of his stats were up to Career highs. He was now one of the worst threats beyond the three point line. He lead the Sonics along with Shawn Kemp to the second best regular season record of 64 wins and 18 losses. By the end of that year he was the leader in steals with 2.85 per game, ranked 10th in assists with 7.5 assists per game, 10th for total minutes, and 12th in minutes averaged per game.

Recently Gary Payton has gotten married. He married Monique James on July 26th. She has been his longtime fiancee. They had it in San Francisco. Many other NBA celebrities were invited to attend the wedding. Many didn?t though because of all they media and newspapers that were going to be there. Nate McMillan was the groomsman. He also plays guard for the supersonics. Shawn Kemp didn?t attend the wedding which made a big story. The reason he didn?t is because he wanted t avoid any meetings with the sonics management. I think he didn?t really like any of the owners. he has been creating some chaos around the sonics lately. What do you think happened, He got traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers a few weeks ago. a lot of Gary’s friends thought it was a great disappointment that he wasn?t there.
