A handful of players in the 2007 NCAA men's basketball tournament will wear jerseys bearing familiar names, as they are the offspring of professional athletes of some acclaim.
And it's not just basketball players begetting basketball players. Among the retired athletes to look for in the stands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sweating out their sons' performances as the tourney opens, are a former international tennis star and big league slugger.
"It's in the genes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], obviously,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Tracy Hackler,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], associate publisher for Beckett Media, which in 1999 published a book featuring famous professional athlete father-and-son pairs.
But Hackler quickly added that on top of nature's boost these players also enjoy a nurturing that prepares the teens more effectively for performing on a national stage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"You see a lot of kids that come up in that heritage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and they're exposed to all of these things tied to being a big-time athlete," Hackler said. "Even if the parents don't know they're teaching them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they're teaching them."
There certainly are enough examples to fill a book. A father handing down his profession to his son, whatever it may be, is as old as mankind.
Professional athlete father-and-son royalty includes families like the Griffeys in baseball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Mannings in football, the Earnhardts in racing and the Hulls in hockey.
In the current college game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], much has already been made of Joakim Noah,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a colorful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], headliner talent on the defending champion and No. At 6 feet 10 inches, son Al Horford may not be quite as tall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he's starting to get some attention,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], scoring 13 points and grabbing 10 boards a game.
Fellow junior Taurean Green also averages 13 points a game as a Gator guard, enough to make his NBA journeyman father,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Sidney, proud.
