Press Maravich & Pete Maravich--the first father-son combo in NBA history( **) + (***)

(*) Ewing Jr. as of the date of this edit has not been on a NBA regular season roster. He was only on a NBA pres-season roster.

(* *) This is not correct. Press Maravich played in the National Basketball League [1944-46] and Basketball Association of America [1946-47] but not in the NBA. In 1949 the NBL and BAA merged to form the NBA. By the time of the merger Press was no longer playing.

(+) The BAA is considered the NBA. The NBA was founded in June of 1946 as the Basketball Association of America. The league adopted the name, National Basketball Association, in 1949 when it merged with the National Basketball League. All records from the BAA are NBA records. The senior Maravich played in the NBL during the 1945-46 season and jumped to the BAA for the 1946-47 season, playing for the Pittsburgh Ironmen. Only his 1946-47 season are recorded in the NBA record book. This answer is correct!

For further proof, in the annals of the NBA, the BAA game played between the Toronto Huskies and New York Knickerbockers in Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto on November 1, 1946 is considered the first game in NBA history.

To (+) Press never played in the "NBA". At that specific time in history while Press Maravich played it was not called or considered the NBA.

Tomorrow the NBA for whatever reason can decide to consider the records from the NBL or earlier seasons from BAA or they may decide that Blake Griffin is not a rookie. It does not change history. During the exact moment in history from 1946 - 47 while he played it was considered the NBL and the BAA not the "NBA". Unlike when the NBA absorbed the ABA into their fold the two leagues merged and came up with a new name and thus a new league.

Look, you can claim that Press Maravich didn't play in the NBA all day long, but just because YOU say it, doesn't make it so. The Basketball Association of America is The National Basketball Association. No less authority than the NBA claims this. But I guess the NBA has to bow down to your "expertise." Just admit your wrong, Comu, because I will guarantee you the NBA does. Ask any NBA historian and they will tell you the Maraviches were the first father-son combo in NBA history!

And while you're getting technical, the Ewings clearly should never even have been considered for this list. The Jalen Rose-Jimmy Walker combo is one for psychologists and anthropologists to consider, since Rose never met his "father."
