Why NBA All-Star Dads Don't Have NBA All-Star Sons and Vice Versa
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2019 2:30 pm
I was talking to my own dad about Tim Hardaway Jr. and Steph Curry and their respective fathers. That conversation led to the thought that it seems NBA All-Star dads (Glen Rice, Tim Hardaway, MJ, Stockton, Ewing) often don't produce All-Star sons. And All-Star sons (Steph, Kobe, Klay) had fathers who were not quite All-Stars.
Is there a reason for this? Multiple reasons? Is it just very difficult to be an NBA All-Star and thus the chance that any two members of a family (who aren't Gasols) makes an All-Star game is very low? Is it purely coincidence? Discuss.
