NBA second generation: Boozer twins, Bronny James and others carving their own paths

Every few years, one or two players pop up on the high school circuit with familiar last names. Shareef O'Neal, Shaquille O'Neal's son, was a four-star power forward who originally committed to UCLA before transferring to LSU. Zaire Wade, Dwyane Wade's son, played alongside Bronny James at Sierra Canyon High School (Chatsworth, California) before joining the Utah Jazz's G League team for a season. In 2019, Scotty Pippen Jr. (now playing for the Los Angeles Lakers' G League team), Scottie Pippen's son, and K.J. Martin (Houston Rockets), Kenyon Martin's son, shared the court at Sierra Canyon, with both dads watching from the sideline each game.
