Sean Marks’ wife Jennifer Marks gave him the go-ahead a few years ago to become the Assistant Coach and then Spurs’ Director of Basketball Operations. That was in 2013– the same year Sean lost his mother on Mother’s Day in 2013. She was actually an Olympic-quality swimmer back in the 60’s who qualified for the ’64 Tokyo Olympics but decided not to attend. Sean left coaching in 2014 to join the Spurs management team. He…
Chip Kelly’s girlfriend Jill Cohen graduated from the University of Oregon in 2004. By my calculations, that would make her about 34 years of age. By further mathematical calculating, that would mean Mr. Kelly is a full 18 years her senior. Way to go Chipster! That’s pretty impressive. Chip had previously been engaged to a lady while he was working at New Hampshire. Then, upon taking a position at Oregon, he met Jill. His relationship…
Brad Nortman’s wife Lexi Nortman married him in 2015 and went on a very brief honeymoon so he could make it to training camp. Training camp for a punter? I mean, how much training does the guy really need? I say let him stay in the Caribbean and practice on seashells. The couple tied the knot at the Biltmore Estate– the same place Mike Tolbert’s wife Shianette likes to go on vacation. According to a…
Steph Curry’s mom (and Dell Curry’s wife), Sonya Curry, is the heart and soul of the Curry cheering section. This cheering section also extends to Seth Curry, a Duke alumni who now plays for the Sacramento Kings. Dell Curry’s wife attended Virginia Tech back in the 80’s. She was playing team volleyball and leading in aces. Dell got drafted to the Jazz in 1986, bounced to Cleveland after a year and finally landed with the Charlotte Hornets, a…
Here’s another magical case of close last names. If Will Barton’s girlfriend Jessica Burton married him, would anyone even notice? So now that we’ve established their last names are a near perfect match, let’s now delve into their personal relationship like peeping skaghounds. Jessica is a graduate of The University of Memphis, which I myself have seen in my travels across these great states. Will Barton’s girlfriend is originally from Cordova, Tennessee and earned a bachelor’s…
Tracy McGrady’s wife CleRenda McGrady is a lovely woman and also a smooth customer. Wait, do you guys even remember Tracy McGrady? It hasn’t been that long since he was the king of smooth scoring in the NBA. His style sort of reminded me of an updated George Gervin. He was a smooth customer. Anyway, back CleRenda McGrady. She had a television show called “Thryv 360” which was a religious-tinged show about inspiring women to be…
Muggsy Bogues’ wife Kim Bogues is only slightly taller than he is. I’m not trying to make this just about height, but it’s something you sort of have to mention since it’s so incredible for any man to make it to the NBA if he’s that short. Hey, what lady never dreamed about marrying Muggsy? The little fella’ used to race around, running under the legs of giants at incredible speeds. Ladies like the underdog, and Muggsy was…
