It was Throwback Thursday at Bank of America Arena in Seattle Thursday night, where the Washington Huskies took on the Oregon State Beavers. There were two high-profile attendees sitting court side — two guys who now happen to double as proud papas. Gary Payton II currently plays for the Beavers, while Shawn Kemp Jr. plays for the Huskies. Due to some lack of creativity when it comes to naming their kids, it’s easy to figure out that those two are the offspring of the most exciting duo in Seattle sports history.

Kemp still calls Seattle home, and runs a successful restaurant just blocks from his old stomping grounds, KeyArena. Speaking of the Key, here’s an obligatory highlight reel of the two, back when they were much younger, slimmer and not as gray.
