Might be a couple more in two years.
Taya Reimer's father, Ben Davis, played in the NBA and overseas. Indeed they are the only father-daughter pair of McDonalds All Americans.
Diamond Deshields's father Delino was was a 13 year MLB 2nd baseman.
Hard to top Harvey Grant's family on the men's side though. Harvey was a 1st rd pick and played for 12 years in the NBA. His twin brother Horace was also a 1st rd pick, played 17 NBA seasons and won 4 championship rings. Harvey's son Jerami plays for the 76ers. Another son Jerian was a 1st rd pick this year and is a Knicks rookie, and a third son, Jerai, played several years in Europe. I don't know of any basketball family that can match that.

With four picks in the first round, I was surprised that Hillmon didn’t go to the Fever. Not only did her mom play a year with the Nashville Noise, she went to Vanderbilt. Lin Dunn is from Nashville.

McKenzie Forbes father, Mason, was a Harlem Globetrotter
Lots of this year's draftees have parents who played abroad. Angel Reese's parents apparently met while both were playing in Luxembourg. I'm not going to list them all.
