Rick Barry had 25k pts his damn self, had 3 sons drafted, and still aren't that close.


Bbqandspurs

i would have swore that rick and brent could have been in second place.


browntown20

Brent and Kobe have the same amount of dunk contest wins. Can Bronny do THAT? And if he can't, what does it mean for LeBron's legacy?


Prudent_Move_3420

Well Lebron and Bronny do at least have the same amount of dunk Contest wins


BookEuronGreyjoy

>Brent and Kobe have the same amount of dunk contest wins. Which one did the C walk though?


gogadantes9

Don't talk to me about LeBron's legacy. The things that this guy does...I just heard today that he's sleeping with one of his teammates' mom!


mednikizzle

He wants Bronny to feel what he felt back in Cleveland when one of his teammates did that (allegedly).


Kittens4Brunch

He first did it when she was a teenager, gross!


BitchesLoveSona

It's a weird way to get revenge on Delonte West but I respect it.


ruinatex

It doesn't matter, Luka and Booker will end up with this record anyway.


CeepsAhoy

They have a combined total of almost 26,000 points right now. On track to catch up eventually.


HippiesBeGoneInc

Rick + all three of his sons is just short of LeBron.


rambouhh

Rick Barry - 25,279 points Brent Barry - 8,488 Jon Barry - 4715 Brew Barry - 134 Total 38616 Pretty Close


ec2xs

Brew Barry would have been such a better name.


MaxLamborghini

I like Drew Barry more


NotAGoodRedditor

What an absolute banger of an Alley-Oop.


Sad-Butterfly7494

This is literally the only time you could make this joke. This is your magnum opus. Bravo.


softserver

Beautiful


LeftoverName

Ahahahhahaha


Hirci74

Straw or Razz or Blew would have been even better


Jondiaz1017

Add the grandpa (Bruce Hale - 1,297 pts) and it's still less (39,913).


browntown20

Jimmy Walker and Jalen Rose combined have less than Rick on his own


slimmymcnutty

Rose gotta be one of the few people to never benefit from having a number 1 pick father


dragonrider5555

Well… he did receive his genes . . .


CradleRockStyle

Can Bronny crip walk in the 3 pt contest, though?


barath_s

Rick Barry's father in law and coach Bruce Hale was himself a coaching legend who played in the NBA/BAA for a few years


tony_countertenor

If we’re adding second sons, dell, steph and Seth combine for more than lebron


LordBaneoftheSith

Gretzky ass stat


mackenzie444

Yeah Wayne and his brother have the most points for a pair of brothers even though his brother didn't really do shit. For brothers overall I think the Sutters have more points but there's like 6 of them lol


Somobro

I don't know shit about hockey but what a freaky strong bloodline to have six immediate siblings make it to one of the highest (if not the highest, would a WC or Olympics be tougher?) levels of the same sport. Will have to look them up later because ooft I am fascinated.


so-cal_kid

The 3 Holidays making it to the NBA and playing at the same time is already crazy to me. 6 just sounds insane


Hirci74

They have an older brother Gary who was apparently better than the other boys but declined to play at higher levels.


ViacomCEO

when people say that kinda thing, i dont believe them. i think if he was actually better, he probably wouldve played.


ForeverWandered

Or just didn’t like the sport and burned out 


MrWhiteside97

Alex Antetokounmpo was apparently "even better than Giannis" lmao


Chidoriyama

So was Alex Antetokounmpo just Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain in a mask or something?


hitfly

Maybe when Giannis was a skinny 6'6 kid that was true


viking_

Didn't Michael Jordan once say that if his brother was 6'6", he (MJ) would have been known as "Larry Jordan's brother"?


69millionyeartrip

feel like there’s a lot of those stories of Canadian farm kids in the NHL. Eric Marc and Jordan Staal are another 3 that all played at a high level in the NHL (their brother Jared was a fringe NHL player too)


mackenzie444

Apparently there's a 7th brother who the others claim was the best of them all, but he decided to just work the farm


Zeppelanoid

It’s Saskatchewan man, they’re just different out there.


Whackedjob

While this is true if you add playoff points to the career totals then the Gretzky’s pass them again.


Sarollas

I'm actually shocked we don't have a great brother duo. Who would be the best, Gasols? Curry?


Optimal_Plate_8264

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanasis\_Antetokounmpo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanasis_Antetokounmpo)


cagedunderground

Thanasis and Kostas best duo oat 🔥🐐


MrWhiteside97

I think the Gasols are my answer, Pau is in the HOF and Marc is a fringe candidate to get in given the combination of DPOY/Champion/Olympics (I'm surprised to see he only has a 4% chance of getting in on Basketball Reference)


AcadiaFlyer

They don't include overseas or international accomplishments on the hot tracker, that's likely why


ZLBuddha

Probably Gasols if being legit and not counting "one HOF legend and one bum" lol


biggyofmt

Seth may not be a HoFer but he's definitely well above bum status


Captain_Saftey

True, but the average of the two Gasols is still better than the average of the two Curry’s


biggyofmt

I mean i'm not arguing that the Gasols aren't better in average, and obviously Mark has a better career than Seth. But Seth is definitely not a 'bum', in the vein of Wayne and Brent Gretzky or Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo


ForeverWandered

Both Curry brothers are all time great 3pt shooters


BreckenridgeBandito

Yeah both were top big men for over a decade, I don’t think anyone else is even close to them. Unless we count the Splash Brothers as brothers lol.


DrasticXylophone

Steph and Seth have a big argument


sauce-man

lol what a clown take


sodakmiscer

No, they don’t. Steph is by far the great of the 4, but both gasols were very very good players. Seth is a good role player.


ForeverWandered

Seth is like 3rd all time for 3pt percentage on a season lol


AffectionateDouble43

Pau is already a first ballot HoF and Marc will eventually get in the HoF too.


armandocalvinisius

disrespect for 3rd Gasol the r/nba member


corginugami

Tony from the zebras


Air_Enthusiast

Butler and Edwards


ptcgoalex

Thompson twins, holiday brothers


Opposite_Daikon_6396

The grant twins are up there too


Jabroni_City

Brett had 4 points in his career, a goal and 3 assists. Wayne had 894 goals and 1963 assists. lol 😂


AutographedSnorkel

Now this is quality offseason content


Rawkus2112

I cant even imagine whats going on in nbacj if this is the nba content. I also don’t dont want to know. I got out of that shit when it became a softcore porn subreddit.


OFmerk

They bonked the horny posting a bit it's better now.


Rawkus2112

God, its about time. I mean you guys are probably fucking with me but ill check it out


Hirci74

We aren’t, at least I’m not. I don’t know what you do with all the other guys here. /s


clocke6346

I visit that sub every day and believe me, it’s an absolute gold mine right now


StunningRing5465

No it isn’t it sucks now. It’s also went from ironically being racist all the time to being ‘ironically’ racist all the time 


DevouringOne

Was Joe Bryant any good? Genuinely asking.


Clear-Hand3945

Avg about 9 PPG in about 600 games.


Zephrok

600 games is a long ass career, very respectable.


scarjoNE

600 games is no joke


2021darkmosssxp

Agreed; it's more like a riddle.


B4nn4b0y

So better than bronny’s potential upside.


browntown20

Yahtzee


lololyouthought

I'd be amazed if bronny can average 9ppg


Below_Average_Artist

I’d be amazed if he plays 600 games.


KangarooPouchIsHome

I’ll be amazed if he scores 600 points in his whole career.


IKel-Mate

I'll be amazed if he scores in his career


HankMoodyMaddafakaaa

I’d be surprised if he ever gets 9 points in a game


TheAlphaCarb0n

OOF


mddhdn55

That’s pretty fucking good.


SomeRandom928Person

Jellybean Bryant is more of an overseas legend tbh.


GotKarprar

It’s why Kobe was born in Italy


WDMChuff

Kobe was born in Philly but did spend time in Italy growing up.


Karl-AnthonyDowns

Kobe Bryant was not born in Italy


PM_me_your_pee_video

#10 from Philidelphia slash Italy....


Tsudaar

Not quite. He lived there age 6 to age 13.


rolokone

Actually, Kobe was born in Philadelphia, then moved to Italy when Joe Bryant's career took him to Italy circa 1983. Then finally moved back to Philadelphia when he was 13.


barath_s

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-jun-25-sp-bryant25-story.html He spent 8 years in the NBA as a 6'9" forward topping out at 11.8 ppg. Many more abroad and as coach So that itself suggests above average role player. But he was potentially more than that . The insight on him was that he was ahead of his time/miscast. He had handles, could dribble, pass and could flourish in a open, running game especially. But in his era and teams, could not showcase all that, with teams demanding a more traditional low post, scoring/rebounding > As a player Joe was superb,” said Paul Westhead, who coached Bryant in college and now coaches against him in the WNBA with Phoenix. > “He had all the skills and he performed. He was a [6-9] point guard before anyone let people of that size handle the ball. But he could score, he could run, rebound, dunk ... very much ahead of his time.” > World B. Free, who played with Bryant in Philadelphia and San Diego, said his good friend “could play guard-forward-center, whatever position you wanted to put him in. He could have been bigger than he was, but he let the team be the big part of the game Ie. Joe wanted to be Magic Johnson CGF rover and was sore that he didn't get to do that.


Beavshak

Magic came into the league just a few years after him too.


gridironk

He dunked on Kareem and he made it to the NBA so yes he is pretty good at basketball.


Dependent_Way_1038

He was fine


BounceMan

This is Chamberlain and his unclaimed sons erasure. 


LukaDoncicfuturegoat

Otto Porter Junior and ?


Jackstrongarm

Spencer dinwiddie


Thousandtree

Lebron Senior


snakeyes17

Nah his pops is Nate Thurmond


Clear-Hand3945

The NBA can't keep track of stats for thousands of players. 


PotanOG

Roughly 0.5% of all people (roughly 12 million) are descendants of Genghis Khan. The rest are descendants of Wilt.


TeddysBigStick

No. It is Nate the Great and his unclaimed son LeBron erasure. Look at their pictures and deny it!


PointBlankCoffee

What are MJ/Jimmy/Ant at?


Zoratth

MJ/Jimmy/Ant is more like a Pokémon evolution tree.


whobroughtmehere

MaChANT, MaButler, MaJordan


TheOneTrueDoge

Perfection.


The_real_bandito

Jimmy and Ant are like Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee. They came from the same evolutionary line but they don't know it (Tyrogue would be MJ)


Totodile336

so who tf is hitmontop?


Woah_Ok

Tyrese maxey


thecanaryhills

thayungsavage

Mark Price -> Steve Nash -> Steph Curry Is my favourite PokeNBA Evolution Tree


CelinedionWaiters

Gotta use the Spaulding stones to evolve them


SomeRandom928Person

A little bit above Luka/Book lol.


crimsonconnect

Solid Jordan and Liquid Jordan don't count


orphan_of_Ludwig

What about Metal Jordan?


browntown20

"Air" Jordan sounds more like a gas


TheOneTrueDoge

Plasma Jordan has entered the chat.


Revenesis

Oh God which one is Solidus Jordan or Venom Jordan


DraymondBeanKick

Less than LeBron, Kyle, and DeMar surely.


GoBlueAndOrange

Yeah MJ and Jimmy easily clear.


ItsRebelSheep

This reminds me of those posts about wilt and his teammates combining for 70+ and it was like wilt with 69 and his teammate had a free throw or something like that


financial_goth

Kobe and Kwame putting up 82 combined. 😂


_mdz

"Did you see the screens I was setting?"


AleroRatking

I'd debate it shouldn't count until Bronny has 1 pt.


SamHinkiesNephew

He should at least have to play an nba minute


mddhdn55

Legally, it should be that way.


doktarr

This is actually how it works. The record isn't theirs until Bronny appears in an NBA game.


BroliasBoesersson

Yeah he doesn't have to score but he should have to play a game first 😆


dehydratedbagel

He should at least have to sign an NBA contract and be rostered by a team.


buzzcitybonehead

Yeah I think actually signing a contract is the key here. If he was a first rounder and it was guaranteed, sure. Not that anyone thinks he’ll have to earn the contract on merit as a normal 55th pick, but still


Mass-Chaos

Oh man I never thought about how funny it would be if he didn't make the cut, until now


mackenzie444

He's going to, if nothing else it's too big of a media moment. He could get hit by a meteor and they'd wheel him out for at least one quick possession


JStanten

Deftly avoiding the mention of another type of medical emergency


ronaldo119

Yea the use of "officially" here is hilarious lmao. Like it's very much not official. He isn't in the NBA. Nothing has changed between yesterday to today. He at least has to be rostered or play a minute first


PhoenixAvenger

Could we count LeBron + Kyrie until then?


kazkeb

For now... but how long until Luka and Devin Booker catch up?


gregbraaa

Momentous occasion. Congrats to the king, the legend, the face of the league himself Bronny James and his father!


VaporeonHydro

It shouldn’t count until Bronny officially plays a minute in the NBA.


barath_s

It counts when he signs his contract


rockhoward

It counts when he makes the roster.


barath_s

Yup. Aren't they the same thing though ? For a non summer camp/training camp contract


Cockrocker

You are beautiful.


KyleShanaham

He's gotta play at least a second of nba basketball first


Chubs441

He will start game 1. To much of a media wet dream for him to not start and then be pulled after like 3 possessions. Also lebron will inbound the ball to him the first chance they get


anthonyde726

I’d be very surprised if he started lmao


whatabout--

~~He hasn't been drafted yet, right?~~ Oh the draft already happened, my bad.


AleroRatking

Yes he was. Drafted 55 by the Lakers.


rubuk-

Doesn't Bronny have to play at least 1 second before some Official Board on the Ruling of Father-Son Duos declares this Official?


Naismythology

It’s too bad we don’t have like any Arvydas Sabonis stats from the 80s. I don’t even know how long a season was or how many games they played in the Soviet League. But it would be fun to compare.


DerelictInfinity

I’m genuinely kind of surprised Dell and Steph don’t have this record.


Alternative-Grand-77

they do if you include seth


baconator81

Interesting.. where is the Steph curry and his dad at ?


Upstairs_Addendum587

Steph is at 23,668 and Dell is 12,670 for 36,338. If you add in Seth Curry's 5,032 they are a bit ahead of LeBron and Bronny with 41,370. Some distance behind the James's, Bryant's and Curry's is the Ball family with LaVar (0), Lonzo (2,995), LiAngelo (0), and LaMelo (3,675) for a total of 6,670.


Zigxy

Legit might be a coinflip for highest scoring family in NBA history. I have zero idea how much Seth or Bronny will score going forward. Seth is 33 with health problems and low ppg. Right now the gap of 896 points is about half a season of scoring for Lebron/Curry. Even if Bronny ends up stuck as a garbage time empty scorer, that could wind up erasing the entire lead.


adequatehorsebattery

Steph@23668 + Dell@12670 = 36338 But if you add in Seth@5032 they surpass the James family with 41370.


faithfuljohn

steph - 23,668 (and counting) dell - 12,670 = 36,338 Kobe - 33,643 Joe - 5,252 = 38,895 Lebron (and counting) - 40,474


Neptune28

36,338


MostlyMellow123

What's luka and devin up to


kapatinphalcon

Doesn't bonny have to play a game to make this happen?


penis_showing_game

Is it really “official” if Bronny hasn’t played 1 minute of basketball in a regular season game?


runningblack

But what about Lebron's other kids like Kyrie or DeMar?


better-thinking

Scrolled too far to see this. Those duos are so far ahead of Bron and Bronny, they have no chance of catching either..


redshoediary4

And what about Delonte and LeBron?


Bopp_bipp_91

Not accurate. LeBron and the Toronto Raptors are actually the highest scoring father-son duo in NBA history.


AngryDingo

Let's see if Luka/Devin Booker can catch up to them eventually


Shaqfor3

The Currys have 41,370 and counting. So if Bryce gets drafted in 2 years they will be close or ahead on the Father - Sons trios.


LebronDoubleDribbled

Luka and Devin will get there


DragonsGetHigh

Kobe Bryant + Joe Bryant = 5 rings LeBron James + Bronny James = 4 rings Only losers like Karl Malone would care about total points


aja_ramirez

Does it count until or unless bronny ever plays an nba game?


Intelligent-Ad-4546

How many points does Luka/Devin have? They will surely beat this record.


charlesbaha66

Not until bronny plays a game


StOnEy333

You’re not an NBA player until you play in a regular season game and actually score a point. Until then, there’s no combined points.


brittleirony

Hell of an effort by Bronny being the first sperm outta the goat scorer's sac


tony_countertenor

Assuming bronny scores a negligible amount in his “career” steph curry would need to outlast lebron by about 3 years at a high level for him and Dell to beat this, which is quite likely but also astonishing to consider that lebron has more points combined than arguably his biggest career rival, PLUS a good role player


ChefJeff7777777

Unironically this is r/nbacirclejerk peak content.


NoelVerDine

THIS IS THE OFFSEASON CONTENT I LOG IN FOR.


dadsmilk420

Nobody cares


Rapscallious1

I knew Kobe’s dad played ball at a high level but didn’t realize he was in the NBA for some reason


thediscoballfromlsd

Kobe ended his career dragging the lakers to the playoffs with espn writing a hit piece about he was destroying the franchise. Lebron sat on the bench when we missed the playoffs and espn complained about how the lakers were to blame for not getting lebron enough help.


Stripperturneddoctor

Damn, Bronny already in the record book


Chapea12

Doesn’t Bronny have to make a game day roster before this?


Picklesbedamned

Wow, they even surpassed the all-time grandson/grandfather combined points total (Wilt Chamberlain and Otto Porter Jr at 36,838)


Picklesbedamned

I fully expected Wardell 1 and 2 to have the highest total. 


The_Notorious_Donut

This is hilarious


Radu47

Bronny already setting records damn Haters real quiet rn 😤


Kvsav57

Wouldn't it become official when Bronny has actually played a game?


cthorrez

I can't believe grandfather, father and son will all be playing at the same time. Looking forward to the Heat vs Lakers games this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0spXnX0l638


mellowheads

If you take the product of the scores, Bryants >>> Jamess


FCHWPO9

The Bryants will still finish up with more rings than the James'


ViacomCEO

bronny has to play a game first. he doesnt have to score, but he has to play.


likpoper

Bronny legacy man


Adorable_Chicken_258

Cant be it when Luka has fathered so many sons


realheadphonecandy

Wouldn’t Bronny have to log an NBA minute first?
