Here are things you will hear ad naseum from Mike Tirico, Marv Albert and the like:
- Matt Harpring has a football mentality because he played QB in high school, and a lot of his family members played college football
- Ronnie Price played his college ball at Utah Valley State, which is located 45 minutes south of the Tox Box (formerly Delta Center).
- Jarron Collins has a twin brother, Jason Collins, who also plays in the NBA.
- Mehmet Okur is from Turkey and is married to the former Ms. Turkey (tons of Thanksgiving and stuffing jokes go unrealized on this one).
- Kyle Korver comes from a family of basketball players, and everyone of their first names begins with the letter "K."
- Ronnie Brewer's father, Ron Brewer, also played at the University of Arkansas and was drafted by the Portland Trailblazers. Ronnie also has an unorthodox shot because of a injury resulting from a childhood water slide accident.

I hate the Harpring-football comments. How many NBA ballers DID NOT play high school football? Harpring has a football mentality because he's a thug, not because he played the daintiest football position for his high school.
Really useful information, lots of thanks for your post.
