50 Photos Of NBA Dads Being Awesome

It all started on Tuesday morning, when Dan sent me a link to a picture of Chris Paul with his son, Chis Emmanuel Paul II. After what feels like a million hours spent in Google Images, I’ve compiled a collection of 50 of the best photos of NBA players hanging out with their kids (you can see more on SportsGrid’s newly minted Pinterest board). Something I learned putting this together: getting to ride on your dad’s shoulders must be even cooler if your dad happens to play professional basketball.
