The NBA is filled with never-seen-before talent, but some of it should be created to world-class genetics. Some relevant stars in the NBA have had fathers precede them in the league and has helped them form more successful careers in the NBA. Have a look!
Stan Love only played four seasons in the NBA. It was his 6'9" height that helped him be the 9th pick in the 1981 NBA Draft. However, his son, Kevin Love, turned out to be a far better player. Not only is he one of the best shooters but also sacrificed personal accolades to help the Cavs win a title.

Tim Hardaway doesn't get enough credit for his achievements. He is the one player who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and isn't. His son is currently a sharpshooter for the Dallas Mavericks. In this case, Hardaway Jr. doesn't have the ball-handling skills as great as his father.

It is truly rare for a father to be his son's NBA coach but Doc Rivers got that opportunity during his four seasons as head coach of the LA Clippers. Austin flourished quite well under his dad.

Although Mychal Thompson was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1978 NBA Draft and won two titles, his son Klay surpassed him in every aspect. He has three championships, appeared in five All-Star games, won gold medals at the Olympics.

The fascinating thing about the Curry's is that all of them were quite underrated before being drafted into the NBA. However, each one of them proved to have unbelievable talent and brilliant sharpshooters. But without a doubt, Steph takes the cake in being the best.

Joe Bryant was a 6'9" power forward who spent most of his time in the paint. Unfortunately, he was never the brilliant perimeter shooter his son, Kobe was. Kobe became one of the greatest players to ever play the game, naturally surpassing his dad.
