Dad was trying to be the next Lavar Ball
This just came across my algorithm.
Honestly, you'd be a fool to place your eggs in a basketball basket with young kids. You never know how tall they are going to get, especially with their genetics:
5'4 father at best
5'3 mother who is clearly mostly indigenous(short).
You get two normal-sized kids, and thats fine, but you dont have any shot in the NBA as a normal-sized person.
I mean they probably could have cooked in soccer(daughter especially), but on a sport totally depended on size? No chance.
