In a groundbreaking moment for the NBA, a legendary player and his talented offspring are poised to make history together on the court. This dynamic duo is set to break new ground as the first father-son teammates in league history, with the potential to become the first father-son pair to participate in the same game.
As they kicked off their season with media day, the proud patriarch couldn’t help but share a heartwarming anecdote about his wife’s secret gaming skills. Apparently, she surprised everyone by practicing with their son in NBA 2K, even though she’s not a gamer. The proof was in the pudding, as he later shared a video on social media of his wife shooting hoops with their young star.
Throughout the day, the father-son duo stole the show with their playful interactions. They posed together in their matching uniforms, and the veteran player even crashed his son’s interview with a prominent sports journalist, jokingly labeling it the “worst interview of the day.”
Earlier this year, the elder statesman revealed that he’s drawn a clear boundary in the workplace – his son isn’t allowed to address him as “dad” during games. When asked about this rule, the young player shrugged it off, saying he’ll simply use whatever term comes naturally when speaking to his father.
As the team gears up for their preseason opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, fans are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to witness this historic father-son duo in action.
