Illegitimate children of NBA players, playing in the NBA?

[Cavs1017]

I thought it was generally accepted that his father was Anthony McClellan. Here's a picture of McClellan when he was younger.

And Kendall Marshall and Vlade Divac look vaguely similar in this photo.



One low quality photo is not even close to validation.

Aside from the fact that LeBron and McClelland look alike, McClelland had unprotected sex with Gloria ~9 months before LeBron was born. He's also intelligent (lawyer). So the physical shoe fits, the mental shoe fits, and he pumped his sperm into LeBron's mom ~9 months before LeBron was born.

So, yeah, there's just a weee bit more to the story than that one pic.

Leicester Stovell is the lawyer, the guy from DC who sued LeBron in 2010, McClelland is some random 5'7 ex con that apparently looks just like LeBron.

Very-very tiny chance. As far as I know, you cannot inherit skills, only physical traits. In other words, a 6'4-6'6 average Joe has the same odds of fathering a future NBA player than Michael Jordan has/had.

Roughly 3% of current NBA players are sons of former NBA players. Literally millions of men produced the other 97%. That's very statistically significant, probably being close to a 100% correlation.

It's too bad Griner is gay it would be interesting to say the least to see what her and say AD's offspring would look like.

They'd be ugly as ****, that's for sure.

Calvin Murphy, Andrew Wiggins?

I don't get it. Wiggins' dad is Mitchell Wiggins, no?

And combine the FACT that wilt chamberlin had sex with 20,000 women... did he not have any kids? I find that hard to believe... What do you think the odds are that Wilt Chamberlin has a child in the NBA?

What's hilarious is out of those two things you find the part where he didn't have kids hard to believe.

Physical traits are very useful for making it in the NBA, and it's not just about height. Jordan's kids would have a way higher chance to be really athletic than the kids of an average Joe who is the same height. So they will be much more likely to make it to the NBA. Still a small chance, but much higher than the average.

It goes beyond that. Not only do you have a greater chance to pick up the athletic skills and frame. You stand a much better chance of picking up the mental and behavior processes as well that make people successful in general in life. There has to be a baseline genetics of physical attributes and that absolutely comes from your parents like Wiggins world class athleticism in the NBA. There also is drive and all the other things as well as elite of the elite you have to be to get one of 400 jobs.

I could probably practice every day of my life more than anyone and never play in D1 much less the NBA with out the baseline genetics physicals and that gets passed down a lot. There are certainly a ton of great Legacy players that made it to the NBA, Kobe the Barry's, Jalen etc. Thousands more in college. Even one of Jordan's kids averaged about 16ppg in college. That's still a high level. Saying it's just skills you learn is a joke. There is clearly hand eye coordination that comes with that that make shooters great as well.

Says much about your mother if she truly doesnt know your father.
Whats up with Malone? Didnt know that, seemed to me like a family man.

Yeah, it sure says a lot about those women. That they're comfortable enough in their own bodies to be sexually free and have sexual agency and some stranger will condemn them for it.

Not one woman has ever come out to claim they have Wilt's child, or ask for child support/whatever.

You have to question Wilt's claim here about that number.

it has more to do with the woman (or any person really) screwing a deadbeat (since the dad wasn't there). Also moreso about the type of person they slept with, not how much, Oh and also not using protection.

It speaks about the mother in her youth moreso than it does in totality. People learn from mistakes (usually).

Same with Men who screw "crazy" and gets her pregnant then wonders/complains that he's stuck with that crazy person the rest of his life (as parents)-just dumb mistakes.

rule of thumb: don't **** crazy

A handful of famous racehorses have sired many of the fastest since. A Colt that's traced back to Secretariat.. is big $.

i'd wondered if there REALLY were thousands of sons of Wilt. I suspect there's a degree of myth there.. but who knows? I don't see a big surge in 7 foot guys over the past decade.

That's just not true.

Jordan has a much higher chance. You are underestimating the importance of those physical traits
