Alright, so the other day, I was just kicking back, maybe watching some hoops highlights, maybe just scrolling online, I don’t really remember exactly. But D’Angelo Russell popped into my head. You know, D’Lo. Seeing him play, sometimes you just get curious about a guy’s background, right? Where they come from.
So, I figured, let me check out who his parents are. Pulled out my phone, typed in the usual stuff, you know, “d’angelo russell parents”. Pretty straightforward start.
First thing that came up, like right away, was his dad. Antonio Russell. And get this, his dad played college ball too. I read somewhere he played at Spalding University. That kinda clicked for me. Makes sense, you know? Father played, son plays. See that a lot.
Then I tried looking for his mom. Took a little more digging, not like pages and pages, but wasn’t the first result. Found her name is Keisha Rowe. Seems like most of the focus online is on his dad, probably ’cause of the basketball connection. That happens a lot with athletes, the parent who also played sports gets more mentions.
After finding out about his mom and dad, I started wondering if he had siblings. Sometimes that gives you a better picture of someone’s upbringing. Did another quick search, something like “d’angelo russell brothers”.
- Found out he’s got brothers. Antonio Jr. – named after his dad, I guess.
- And another brother, Lashaun.
So, he’s not an only child. Got a couple of brothers there. It’s interesting piecing this stuff together. You start with a simple question, “who are his parents?”, and then you follow the breadcrumbs. One name leads to another, maybe a little fact here, a little fact there.
My Quick Take
Honestly, it wasn’t some deep investigation. Just a few minutes of searching around. You find the basics pretty easy. Dad Antonio played ball, Mom is Keisha Rowe, got brothers Antonio Jr. and Lashaun. It just satisfies that little bit of curiosity you get sometimes when watching these guys play night after night. Gives them a little more context, you know? Just a regular person with a family behind them, who happens to be crazy good at basketball.
