To say that basketball runs in the Harper family is something of an understatement. Ron Harper Sr. was of course a five-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, and Ron Harper Jr. and his brother Dylan are now suiting up for the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs, respectively. The mother of the family, Maria, played NCAA basketball for the University of New Orleans as well.
And Maria recently opened up about how her two sons differ in their NBA fits in an interview with the Boston Globe's Tara Sullivan. "He is my Crock-Pot," said Maria of her older son Ron.
"Anyone who sees all the good ingredients Ronald has and takes the time to look at that pot, watches it simmer, they come out with the best-tasting dish they ever had," she added.
"That’s what the Celtics have done," suggested Maria. "They recognize who this kid is today and what he can be tomorrow. They invested in him, and he felt that."
"Boston is where he wanted to be, where he chose to be after getting waived by the (Detroit) Pistons. He’s starting to blossom. The difference with Dylan, he’s a little bit of a microwave, so to speak."
