We can now see a lot of NBA superstar sons who will follow in their footsteps and try to enter the league to become a professional basketball player, but not all star sons are like this. Just like Michael Jordan's two sons, playing in high school is OK, and when they get to college, they simply give up basketball and choose a relaxed and happy life.
But like Curry, Klay Thompson, Sabonis Jr., Nance Jr., these are all sons who have inherited their father's business and continue to play in the NBA. However, we may see more sons of stars coming into the NBA in the near future. Still, let's take a look at the sons of five of the best NBA players who are bragged about going into the league in the future.
5. Mutombo-Ryan
Mutombo is one of the best defensive players in the history of the league, and his finger-shaking after the block is his signature move, and Mutombo has won three blocks in his career and four defensive players of the year, which also made him inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015.
To carry on Mutombo's NBA legacy, Mutombo's son Ryan promised to play at Georgetown, a school his father played for before joining the NBA. Although he is also a center at 6'11 inches, his defense is not as good as his father's, but his offensive and organizational skills are not bad. His family said Ryan would announce his participation in the NBA draft after his freshman year. That means we may soon see Mutombo's son take over his legacy in the NBA.
4. Wade's son - Zair Wade
Wade is one of the best point guards in league history, with lightning break-through speed, excellent explosiveness and bounces that have allowed him to perform very well on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Wade, who has triple-crowned careers, is also one of the best stars of the 03 Golden Generation.
Although Wade has retired, he is not idle, he has become the small boss of Utah Jazz, and his son Zaire is 19 years old and currently receives invitations from 4 universities, and we all believe that Zaire will participate in the NBA draft in the next two seasons. After all, we've seen videos of Zaire and Wade's private showdown, and it's okay for Zaire to go into the league as a substitute.
3. Iverson's son - Jordan Lowery
Iverson is the leader of the 96 golden generation, he never picks opponents, he is a strong point guard, against Michael Jordan, Kobe, Maddy, Carter, Duncan, O'Neal and other great stars. In 2001, he led the 76ers to the Finals against OK Group, which also made him famous.
Although Iverson has five children, only the youngest son Jordan Lowery continues his basketball talent, 11-year-old Jordan Lowery is already the best fourth-grade basketball player in the United States, although his future is a bit premature at this time, but his technical and tactical ability allows us to see the shadow of Iverson.
2. O'Neill's son - Sharif
O'Neal, the greatest center in league history, has won four championships in his career, and he's almost unstoppable on the offensive end, and what can stop him is fouling him, after all, he only shoots 53% of his career free throws, or let him out of the field with six fouls.
O'Neal's son, Sharif, inherited his basketball talent, although much worse than O'Neal, but Sharif was once the best player of his age, but unfortunately he had a heart operation in December 2018 due to coronary artery abnormalities, and now the 21-year-old is not as powerful on the basketball court as before, and he can't give his all to play his true self.
1. James' son Brownie
James may not need to explain too much, as the greatest superstar of the 21st century, he has won four championships in the 18 seasons of his career. A top star with a place in the debate over the best players of all time, James has always expressed interest in playing in the NBA with his son Brownie.
If Brownies make it to the NBA in the next two seasons, they will be the league's first NBA players to compete in the same game. However, Brownie will have to wait until 2024 until the age of 19, and brownie's explosiveness, basketball IQ and technical and tactical ability are not bad, but his physical talent is much worse than that of young James.
