Gary Payton is my hero

I went out to dinner with my family yesterday and guess who I saw? That's right, the Glove- Gary Payton. You may not know him. He's a little bit of an older basketball player, but my dad says he was always his favorite player. He was really good at defense and was really tough. He had quite a swagger to him and would always steal the ball from other teams.

The reason my dad liked him was because he had so much hustle and heart. Also, he chewed the gum out of the side of his mouth- which was pretty cool and a little funny.

Anyways, I saw him eating at the table. And he didn't look that big on the court. But in person he's HUGE. He is a giant. I think he at first didn't see me and almost stepped on me! Ha! But then I got his autograph. Yayyyy!!!!!
