Spurs’ Jameer Nelson Jr. is forging his own path with help from his family
SUMMARY: Jameer Nelson Jr., the oldest of four siblings, grew up in a household where basketball wasn’t the main focus—softball took center stage, with two of his sisters playing in college. Initially a baseball player, Nelson switched to basketball in high school, with guidance from his father, former NBA player Jameer Nelson Sr. After a challenging transfer from George Washington to Delaware, where he sat out a season, Nelson refocused with his father’s tough love. He later played two NCAA tournament seasons at Delaware, transferred to TCU for his final year, and now plays for the San Antonio Spurs G-League affiliate in Austin.
