Legacy Kids Rising With NBA Fathers Coaching | NBA News

The grassroots basketball scene this summer is exploding with talent—and it’s often family-run. Sons of NBA legends like Jamal Crawford and Chris Paul are dominating AAU circuits, coached directly by their dads. JJ Crawford, ranked 1 in his class, already earned U.S. Under-17 gold, while Eric Dampier Jr. and RJ Evans follow in their fathers’ footsteps. These young phenoms aren’t just playing—they’re learning elite-level discipline, game IQ, and mental toughness from the pros who’ve been there. Chris Paul, retired but fully immersed, is mentoring his son with the wisdom of a Hall of Famer. This next wave of “legacy kids” isn’t just inheriting names—they’re inheriting legacies, and the future of the game might just be shaped by this unique, father-son coaching revolution.
