Who is Andrej Stojaković's NBA dad?
Andrej Stojaković is the son of one of the more fun NBA players over the last few decades.
One of the biggest catalysts behind the Illinois men's college basketball team's run to the Sweet 16 has been Andrej Stojaković. A first-year transfer from California, Stojaković has helped pace the Illini with 13. 5 points and 4.
5 rebounds per game. If Illinois is to eventually make a Final Four run, Stojaković will undoubtedly play a huge role in such success. As it turns out, excelling at high-level basketball runs in the family.
Because of course it does. Stojaković is actually the son of former NBA All-Star Peja Stojaković. The senior Stojaković played 13 seasons in the NBA, made a few All-Star teams, and won the 2011 NBA title with the Dallas Mavericks, his final year in the league.
Throughout his professional playing days, he made a name for himself as a career 40 percent 3-point shooter at a high volume. His son hasn't shown he's the same sort of sharpshooter, to be clear, but he does appear to have a similar quality of game sense. The Illini are certainly very lucky to have the Stojaković's around.
