watching his son's passive, almost apathetic approach to the game drove him mad. So Payton got up and left the stands.

Payton sought out Darrel Jordan, Payton II's AAU coach and trainer, and told him he didn't think his son had the attitude to be a good player. Then, back at home, he lit into his kid.

"He was soft. He was really soft," Payton told SB Nation. "I told him, I just told my son straight up -- I don't like your game. I don't think you're good enough to play at the next level or any level. I don't have to waste my time coming here."
