Dallas Mavericks: Ryan Broekhoff sitting out World Cup to be with family

Basketball is a great thing and a game that has made some players very wealthy. Although playing to represent your country is not a financial boost, it is something that most players accept with pride and honor. For Dallas Mavericks guard, Ryan Broekhoff, there was something else to be proud of much more than the country he calls home.

I am personally not a father at this time, but I know that it is a special experience with nothing else quite like it. On June 17th, Ryan Broekhoff, aka The Accountant, became a father as he and his wife welcomed their son Jackson into the world.
