Elfrid Payton Excited to See Former Teammates, Grateful for Magic Organization | Orlando Magic
ORLANDO – Elfrid Payton’s world was rocked so much so on Feb. 6 when his 69-year-old grandfather, Willis ``Meatball’’ Clofer, died that he said he was almost emotionally indifferent to the fact that he was traded by the Orlando Magic two days later. Only now, as Payton returned to Orlando and the Amway Center for the first time since the Magic shipped him to the Phoenix Suns on Feb. 8, is he starting to fully process the life-altering events that took place six weeks ago.
