Though, that is not the case with every NBA player.

In a fascinating twist of fate, an NBA legend’s daughter has taken the MMA scene by storm. She has also ignited a striking resemblance to none other than UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones. NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s son has also confirmed the same.
