NBA Players You Didn't Know Were RELATED

NBA

players

have secret family members that you've never heard of and sometimes they

didn

't even

know

and that's exactly what happened to NBA player Jaylen Rose. See, when he was a kid, Jalen was mysteriously good at basketball, so he always wondered why the game became so popular. Naturally, it turns out that Jalen's father was a star NBA player, but Jalen

didn

't

know

that, so In fact, he didn't even know he had a father. Jalen's family kept all of this a secret for years. Think about your own father being in the nba and you don't even know he exists, why would they hide that from him?

Well, his family knew it would be difficult to hear the truth, so they waited until they felt he was ready and that day he arrived in sixth grade, they told him. Jaylen your dad already had a family before he met your mom and when you were born he chose them over you but that wasn't enough Jalen needed to know who this man was and they finally gave him an answer that he didn't expect Jalen's father was 1968 number one draft pick jimmy walker man family is a complicated thing i mean did you know lebron james chose chris paul to be part of his family?

Yes, back in 2003, LeBron and Chris Paul met for the first time at McDonald's. American game, this is where the two played together on a team and everyone immediately noticed that there was a bond between them, even their coach, Rob Hecklands, had to comment on it saying that on the first play of the game, Chris threw an alley -oop. at Lebron for a dunk and I thought to myself, it seems like they've been playing together for 10 years. It was really cool to see those guys come together like that. You could see the chemistry developing between them as the game and week progressed. and since they both arrived in the NBA they have been seen going on vacation together and Lebron even admitted that Chris was present at the births of my two children, so it is deep, it goes beyond basketball, now that Paul is at the birth Brony's is much more. important than it seems because in that hospital room Lebron officially made Chris Paul part of his family giving him the title of godfather to Lebron's first child, Bronnie James and Chris has not taken this title lightly.

Clips of him appearing at Brony games have gone viral. and advise him like a real father, even if Lebron is not there, Chris would still show up just to support his son, that's dedication man, it's pretty obvious that Lebron made the right decision and now he becomes the godfather of your best friend, that's one thing, but imagine making it to the NBA and then finding out your teammate is

to you, yeah, Tracy McGrady had a blood relative in the NBA on her own team who didn't even know how that's possible Long before entering the NBA draft, Tracy was invited to a family gathering in Atlanta.

This is where her life changed forever. As soon as Tracy showed up, a woman she had never met before approached her and told her she wanted to talk about some sports with Tracy and that's when he asked her if she had left a like. and subscribe to the channel because if you didn't she will kick him out of the meeting, she said you're not family if you're not subscribed, that's in the game now luckily Tracy was subscribed and now that she knew he was part of the gang , she was ready to talk about family, and eventually the conversation led to her asking him if he knew her grandson Vince Carter a little.

Did she know that Tracy and Vince had already been friends for years? They met playing games in North Carolina and this woman. She went on to explain that her father-in-law is Tracy's grandmother's brother. Ah, these family trees get very confusing. This basically means that Tracy and Vince are second cousins, but it gets even crazier. Tracy was drafted in 1997 by the Raptors with the ninth pick and then the following year, Vince was drafted to the Raptors with the fifth pick, so they both ended up on the same NBA team. These two grew up in different states and became star basketball

players

and eventually best friends, all without knowing they were I'm

, how does that happen?

Man, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life. I thought it was the craziest thing I had ever heard until I found out what Lebron had been hiding from the world. He was watching a Lakers and Pelicans game. Recently and that's when I realized that Lebron James and Zion Williamson look exactly the same. I almost died when I realized this so I started searching the internet to see if anyone else had noticed it and not a single person on planet Earth except me had seen it. this just look at these two they have the same eyes the same nose the same smile i even went all out and put sion's lebron beard in photoshop and just look what happens i can't even tell who is who there is only one conclusion that could possibly make sense lebron james is zion's father oh man i'm glad i got it off my chest i need to calm down now no shakespeare i'm, i'm letting people know what's going on now's the time to talk about brother never you knew that Kobe had a friend Gasol.

This is one of the most beautiful stories I will ever tell on this channel and it begins in 2008, when Pau Gasol was first traded to the Lakers. Kobe knocked on his hotel door at 1:30 in the morning. tomorrow and the first words Kobe said to him were: hey, so happy you're here, but now we're going to win a championship, well, think about that, you just got traded to a new team, you're forced to move to a new city and everything Kobe could. Let's say we win a championship, man is a business, but fast forward to 2010 and the two were coming off back-to-back championships together and during this time Kobe built a relationship with Powell that was deeper than basketball.

The craziest part is that this friendship was completely hidden from the world they didn't take selfies together they didn't post about each other but behind the scenes pow became kobe's backbone and eventually the godfather to his children but this is where things get they become heartbreaking january 26, 2020 powell was in spain with his wife he was driving home after dinner when suddenly the news had just reached the world kobe and gianna bryant were gone good afternoon from new york we will be on the air with breaking news time very sad news to tell the sports world the la times is reporting that retired los angeles lakers basketball star kobe bryant died in a helicopter crash phone calls text messages powell's phone completely blew up and when he heard the news burst into tears powell was devastated but knew there was one thing he had to fulfill his role as godfather and went on to explain what this meant to him saying we just booked a flight to california we decided we needed to be there we didn't know if we were going for a week two weeks or a month but we needed to be there, we wanted to be close to vanessa and the kids and be there as uncle pow for whatever they needed and they ended up staying for months doing whatever it took to help the family get through this tragedy at Vanessa and Kobe's 19th wedding. anniversary in April they sent flowers on Gianna's 14th birthday in May a birthday cake even took the family on a boat trip around San Francisco Bay in August and they spent Halloween with the family dressing up as Star Wars characters.

It was amazing that this man actually stepped up to the plate like a godfather should and he wasn't doing it for the headlines I mean just imagine how much power he made that the media never found out about and then at the end of 2020 the power He decided to make the greatest gesture he could. to show how much he appreciated not only kobe but the bryant family when powell's first child was born he named his daughter kobe he said my daughter's full name is elizabeth gianna gasol it's a way to not only honor gianna but to always keep her in mind, see powell was more than a simple uncle or godfather to kobe's daughter, he would support gianna by appearing at her games and being a father figure when kobe couldn't, that's why his death is something that powell will never get over, I already know it.

That's a pretty tough section to get through, so if you need to cheer me up, I invite you to watch the most embarrassing moments in NBA history and in this video an NBA player literally pooped himself on live TV, like this so if you need a laugh just click on that man
