ORLANDO – It wasn’t too long ago that Elfrid Payton was developing his basketball skills at parks and schoolyards in southeast Louisiana. Like it is for pretty much all NBA players who grew up in the United States, those countless hours out on the court were important for Payton’s confidence and devotion to the game.
Now, Payton is the one making sure today’s children are given the opportunity to enjoy the game he loves so dearly. Payton, along with many others from the Orlando Magic, teamed up with Chase on Saturday to unveil a newly refurbished basketball court at Three Points Elementary School in Orlando.
