    Watching Step Curry play and his father Dell, I was wondering how uncommon it is to have a father and son both reach the NBA. I’m having a hard time remembering many other duos. Only ones I can think of is the Berry family. (Rick, Jon and Brent) Who am I missing and which duo you think would’ve won a two on two game in both players prime. ( I think the Wilkins family is another one)

    you know, it just occured to me that they included rick barry twice, once with each son. That shouldn’t count for two spots.

    and it more common than i thought. i mean i knew all those guys had fathers that played but its hard to think of more than a few. but when everyone else throws in the ones they remember its like oh yeah his dad did play in the league.
