In the history of the NBA, there are many father and son players, such as Stephen Curry and his father Dale Curry, Klay Thompson and Mitchell Thompson, Rivers father and son, Wharton father and son, etc., these are already relatively well-known in the league, and there will be more such father and son files in the future league, including James, if Brownie enters the NBA, it will be his greatest achievement. However, if you want to say that the most basketball family in history, perhaps it must be the Barry family, which is the most famous family in Rick Barry, and a total of 5 people in three generations have played in the NBA.
5. Bruce Hall
Bruce Hall is Rick Barry's father-in-law, the father of his first wife, as early as 1948, Bruce Hall has been engaged in professional basketball, he used to play for the Detroit Pistons' predecessor Ford Wayne Pistons, unfortunately his NBA career is only 3 years in total, and the average score per game is only 9.1 points.
Bruce Hall's playing career is not brilliant, but he has had a major impact on Rick Barry, after Hall retired, he had coached the University of Miami and the Oakland Oaks in the ABA League respectively, coaching the University of Miami, Barry was his disciple, and during this period, Barry met his first wife; later coached the ABA Oaks, Barry was in the NBA, because his father-in-law and mentor were in the ABA, so Barry insisted on jumping to ABA. This led to the first job-hopping lawsuit between the NBA and the ABA, and eventually Barry successfully went to the ABA, but unfortunately Hall was already out of class at this time.
4. Rick Barry
Rick Barry is undoubtedly the most accomplished in the entire family, and fans generally refer to him as "Old Barry", and his "peeing pot" free throw action is still impressive.
In addition, the old Barry's career is also very brilliant, as the 1965 top talent, he has won the leading score in the NBA, ABA and NCAA, the only one in history. Barry's career total exceeded 25,000 points and has won championships in both the ABA and NBA, and his jersey still hangs over the Warriors' home court.
3. Joan Barry
Joan Barry, the second son of Barry Sr. and the first of Barry's five sons to enter the NBA, was selected by the Celtics with the 21st pick in the first round of the 1992 draft before being sent to the Bucks. In 14 years of his career, Joan bari played for a total of 8 teams, averaging only 5.7 points and 2.2 assists per game, which is far from his father.
Domestic fans will probably have a bit of an impression of Joanbari, who was traded to the Rockets in the 2004-05 season and was a teammate with Yao Ming for more than a year.
2. Brent Barry
Brent Barry is the third son of the elder Barry, and the best of several sons, in the 1995 draft, Brent Barry was selected by the Nuggets with the first round of 15 picks, and then sent to the Clippers, the Clippers he once averaged 13.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, but he is probably best known for his performance in the dunk contest, in the 1996 All-Star Dunk Contest, Brent Barry's free throw line jump won the championship, "white people can fly" is still very classic.
Brent Barri's career also lasted 14 years, averaging 9.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, and he played with the Spurs for four years and won two championships. Coincidentally, in the 2008-09 season, Brent Barry also joined the Rockets like his brother and was a teammate with Yao Ming for a while.
1. Drubari
Druberry is the fourth in the family, compared to the two brothers, his NBA career is more miserable, as the last pick of the 1996 draft, Drubari only played in the NBA for a total of 3 years, averaging 2.2 points and 1.9 assists per game. He was an uncompromising water dispenser player who played just 60 games in his entire career.
In addition, the old Barry's father is also a basketball coach, his other two sons who did not enter the NBA are also professional basketball players, the eldest son Scott Barry did not enter the NBA, but the NCAA period once led the team to win the championship, the younger son Ken Yambari participated in the draft last year, unfortunately lost. Three generations have been closely related to basketball, and such a basketball family is really very rare in the league.
