and they just didn't turn out to be good, so, for example, I start with some of the worst, with Michael Jordan's sons, Marcus and Jeffrey Jordan, now Jeffrey is the oldest by two years and he was six. a point guard, while Marcus was a six for a shooting guard and for a couple of years the two played basketball together in high school, which garnered a lot of media attention due to who they were, as three of their games were played on ESPN in 2007, but honestly, these guys weren't great players from the start and I don't know what it was that never worked for them.

Do you think having the best ever over and over again with one of the craziest work ethic as a parent would in turn make them qualify, but to finish their high school careers Jeffrey was the 97th point guard in the country, while that Marcus was the 60th shooting guard the year he graduated and to prove his lack of greatness, Jeffery was only recruited as a preferred walk-on by three schools before choosing. Brooke played quite well during his three seasons and averaged 12 points per game, but decided to stop playing. Subsequent basketball did not have any serious impact, while Jeffery only averaged a point per game during his four-year career before entering the NBA Draft and obviously went undrafted.

the best and worst sons of former nba players...

I mean, sometimes James will want to take a risk on a second-generation player, especially if you're Michael Jordan's son and I guess that's what I expected, but it definitely wasn't worth the risk for any team and these guys aren't worth it. They officially played in the NBA but everyone else in this video I just had to make an exception for them because of who they were even though like I said they were some of the worst but one of the best sons of a

former

NBA player. NBA, as we know, is Steph Curry, who far exceeded expectations and had a better career than his father, Dell Curry, could have ever dreamed of having during his entire career, Dell was a role player and a six-man who In fact, he was by far one of the best shooters in the league and that's why Steph is as good as he is, because it's just in his DNA and because he's been attending NBA games and learning the ropes. in the art of a marksman.

I'm a great NBA level shooter from the beginning because I could pick up a basketball and I don't think that's the only reason. He is as good as he is because many great shooters and NBA players have children but not everyone has what it takes to become an elite player like Steph Curry did and what we are talking about about the Curry family means we have a Seth mentioned . A couple of years ago I would have easily put him in the category of one of the worst children of NBA players because I mean having almost the same things from childhood and many of the same opportunities to become a great player is just It's strange to see how different their careers have been, but he's become a solid player recently, so he's definitely not one of the worst, but one of the best, although he had a brother in a similar situation which we'll get to in one minute.

It's Klay Thompson, it's strange, although with clay, after hearing Steph's story, you would think that his father, Michael Thompson, was also a great NBA shooter and taught Klay all his light, but if he hasn't already You know, Michael was actually a sinner who only shot 12 total threes his entire career, but that actually helped a lot on clay because, since his father was six foot ten, whenever they played pick-up games, clay had He had to shoot jump shots to score and that started at a young age. Then his high school coach was a guy who had studied shooting forms for years and Clay says he taught him perfect form back then.
I mean, if you watch him shoot, it makes sense, so it was that, plus years of hard work, that he achieved. led him to where he is today as one of the best players in the NBA as far as his brother Michael, although not as much because he is definitely one of the worst NBA Suns we have ever seen, he is a year older than clay, but never It was so good. a player who was a two-star recruit coming into college averaged 11 points per game at Pepperdine University, went undrafted, played five years in the D-League and only five games in the NBA for the Cavs, where he averaged three points per game.
He was no better player than his brother or his father. Kobe Bryant was a much better player than his father, although in Joe Prime Joe played eight years in the league and then moved with his family to Italy where Kobe grew up and of course Kobe had a slight advantage because his father was a professional player, but as I mentioned, it was difficult, that only matters to a point and his legendary career came more from something within him and a mentality, he was simply born with the desire to be the best player possible. and I think it's safe to say that if he didn't have that legendary work ethic, he probably would have been a player who played at a similar level to his father, but since he had a job, every day he really became one. of the greatest basketball players of all time and speaking of the greatest players of all time, John Stockton's son, David Stockton, is definitely not that, he is one of the worst sons ever and it's strange because we're starting to watch a lot of NBA.
Suns legends don't turn out to be great, but random role players, kids, historically, have turned out to be much better and David's is one of these cases, as we know, his father is one of the best point guards ever the times, a great shooter, a great. defender and an even better passer who has many all-time records of his own, but unfortunately none of that transferred to his son. An average high school player came off the bench in his first three seasons at Gonzaga before finally starting as a senior averaging seven points per game, of course, leading the day and going undrafted in 2014 and has since jumped around the D-League overseas and has landed 10-day contracts with some NBA teams and has gotten a good amount of them, teams keep trying. bring him in hoping that one day he will show some resemblance to his father but everyone ends up just firing him within a month but for Devin Booker it's a different story because he is by far one of the best second generation athletes we've ever had . seen in the NBA, well his father Melvin Booker might actually be the worst father in this video because while he was great in high school in college, he went undrafted and then played only two seasons in the league with an average of five points a game and Melvin was only 6 1, but Devin has grown to be 6 foot 5 inches and has become a much better player than his father was and this was the point he understood that in the early years 90 You would have guessed that Michael Jordan's son would grow up to be one of the best scorers in the NBA today or even Kareem's or one of Karp Malone's sons, no one would have expected Melvin Booker's son to be in that place and it's just weird how that works and to further prove this point, Gary Payton a second as another example because like we know this dad is one of the best point guards of all time and one of the best defenders we've ever seen. .
He had a great all-around game and 15 great seasons in the league, so when his son grew to be six foot three and started playing basketball in high school and college, you could only begin to think he was going to continue. followed in his father's footsteps, but he didn't stand out in college, so he went undrafted and has since bounced between the G League and the NBA since 2016 with an average of three. points in one game while assisting while on NBA teams, he's actually started 17 games for the Wizards this year, which is by far the most he's ever had, but his game still hasn't improved at all and will probably never take him to a real NBA level.
On the other hand, the first two picks in the 2014 NBA Draft were two of the best second-generation players, Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins, and their parents, Mitchell Wiggins and Sonny Parker, had a short career of six years and They both had one. season averaging 15 per game, so they were decent players, and while both sons are certainly better than their fathers, both men have also failed to live up to the expectations that have surrounded them since they were drafted, even without that, although there are still two of the best. children we have seen then was going to include Patrick Ewing jr. here because of who his father is and named him one of the worst second generation players to ever play in the NBA, but I mean he didn't really play in the G League for about seven years and only played seven games total for New Orleans Hornets and in those he only averaged two minutes and four points per game, so Patrick Ewing's son deserved a mention for the video, but did not deserve to be formally included on this list.
Although I can't include Luke Walden here as one of the worst because his father, Bill Walton, was an all-time great NBA center,

former

league Finals MVP and two-time champion and much more, and although Luke is also a two-time league champion, that's where his similarity stopped because he averaged a single. digits every year of his career except one was nothing more than a role player and well some people may have expected him to play a little better given who his father was but he never really did while Jalen Rose also had a father who was a great player, had a very different upbringing than mine, so a guy like Luke Walton Jalen became one of the best players of the second generation and his father was a guy called Jimmy Walker, who was the first overall selection in 1967, averaging 16 minutes of playing time in his career. the only difference was that Jalen never met his father, he knew who he was but he never met him and he didn't want to since he abandoned his family when he was born, but knowing who his father was he knew from the beginning that he was going to be athletically talented. and he has a real opportunity in professional sports, so he worked hard to get his family out of that bad situation.
He grew his AE to six feet and not only made it to the NBA, but became a better basketball player than Jimmy Walker and after. Jalen's career spoke to his father a couple of times on the phone, but shortly after he passed away in 2007 before they could meet another of the best, although it has to be Kevin Love and I'm not going to lie in this photo of Stan Sees it. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable, but let's get that off the screen and ignore it and instead mention that Stan only had a four-year career in the NBA, but it really put him on the right path to becoming a great player for If only.
It gave him his height as well as taking him to AAU teams his entire life and it's interesting because Kevin grew up with Klay Thompson in the same area who, as we mentioned, was also a second generation player and from the beginning Kevin was always a standout five- star recruit out of high school, a fifth overall pick coming into the league and has had a long list of accomplishments throughout his 12 year career and now we have no more of the worst second generation players but the four best who remain are Al. Horford, who died, only played two seasons in the Dumont league is a plus whose father, as you probably know, was arvydas Sabonis, one of the greatest foreign players of all time, and Sabonis at a young age has 20 years.
Great job starting to live up to that name while Jaren Jackson Jr. is becoming another top second generation player who already plays much better than Jarret Jackson Sr. and finally, a bit randomly, there is Mike Bibby who She also had a much better career than Hillary, baby, but that will conclude the video that I mostly covered for the entire second. generation players that were really worth mentioning, but if there is anyone that you felt I might have left out, comment below and let me know, if not, don't forget to subscribe and I'll see the next video from them.
