The Golden State Warriors have been one of the best teams in the NBA and Kevon Looney's contributions have played a huge part in their success. The rebounding machine is one of the most important pieces of the team, and his parents should also be given credit for it.
Victoria and Doug Looney are the parents of Kevon, who raised the NBA star as well as their daughter, Summer. Doug played as a forward in Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas and finished his tenure at the school as the leading rebounder. Kevon's father was his coach growing up and is probably the reason why he's such an elite rebounder.
Both of Kevon's parents are usually seen watching Warriors games to show their support for their son, who has been playing valuable minutes for the team. Growing up, the NBA player's mother used to just stay at home.
