    I remember the Fab 5 documentary of how Jalen Rose hated Grant Hill for all the opportunities he had. Grant Hill's mother was Hilary Clinton's roommate in college. His choice in going to Duke never helped me. He was like Baby LeBron before LeBron pre injury.

    And seeing all the NBA sons making the league and earning their own multi million dollar paychecks just makes me want to scream how unfair life can be.

    Why does it matter? Is there some rule that states that in order for you to make it in professional sports your parents must be deadbeats?

    JR Smith came from a well to do background.

    Most of the 2nd/3rd generation players should have too.
