guys who grew up rich and became stars would include grant hill, kobe, forsberg, jagr, however many Sutters there are now, ken griffey jr, bonds and others. you got all those second gen guys at UM right now (t bug jr, big dog iii, etc).

i think its more of a shadow sort of thing. those guys were bigger stars than their fathers. where did jordan's kid have to go? rarely does a big ass star have some decent pros as kids. i guess rick barry would be a notable exception. even guys like pat ewing jr and moses malone iii didn't make it and it seemed like they might.
