Is the best current counter-example to the "coach's kid" stereotype Austin Rivers?

Seriously.  Austin plays like he grew up in Rucker park.

Just curious, but did KO's father leave out defense when he coached?

Did Bird regularly bring the ball up the court, like Pippen, or did he just initiate the offense when already in the half court?

Sometimes he did.  Usually though DJ brought it up.  But he was marvelous to watch on the break.   All respect due to Mr. Pressey, Bird was a way better passer.

please watch the games. There might not be many highlight reel blocks but KO is a very good defender. Just look at how inefficient every guy that KO defended was during the summer league games. Also same story during college ball play.

It's his dad's fault he has short arms and no "blow you away" athleticism
