"This tops it all: Darryl McDonald and his son Derrick played together at the Tigers even spending a few minutes of an NBL game together on court. It was a shame junior blew the alleyoop pass from dad. What a great moment regardless."

That was one of the most memorable failed plays in Tigers history (the other being Warrick Giddey missing a 3 right at the end of 97 Grand final). Wish it had have connected.

Derrick plays with the Tigers NBL1 team at the moment which is good to see

"Mark and Stephen Whitehead"

Mark didn't get much of a chance to play but was a better athlete than his brother. Stephen was just better at everything else

"As far as I know Sam and brad aren't related."

And I don't think they even have the same spelling of last name.

Sam Mackinnon and Brad Mckinnon from memory?

There was also an Opal with a brother who experienced a learning disability. Their parents didn’t realise that there was such an opportunity for him. The selectors/coaches of the men’s team took an immediate interest in him.

My recollection is a bit sketchy, but I think he would have been selected for Barcelona Paralympics (1996). I think he was Vic based, so I never met him.

thinking about this made me realise there are a few father son combinations who've played NBL as well. I wonder if we've had a grandfather-father-son combo yet? I don't think so but that'd be something.

There're also a few brother-sister combos across NBL-WNBL.
