Happy Father’s Day to all of you in Dub Nation!
In celebration of the holiday, we took a dive into the NBA record books to find Warriors’ father-son combinations and if they land on any all time lists. There are more than just a few basketball families who do!
Take a look and see if you recognize any names:

The apple, especially when it comes to scoring, does not fall far from the tree.
And here is a factoid: Out of all the father-and-son combinations that appear in these records, there is but one that includes a father AND son who played for the Warriors. Did you catch who that was?
That honor actually goes to one father and two sons: Rick Barry (with Warriors franchise 1965-67, 1972-78) with Jon (1995-96) and Drew (1999-00).
Wishing all of Dub Nation and safe and happy Father’s Day.
