I did not know Kanan Catchings aunt is Tamika Catchings.

If Catchings' last name rings a bell, it's probably because his aunt, Tamika, is one of the greatest women's basketball players ever. Tamika Catchings starred at Tennessee before becoming a 12-time All-WNBA selection, the WNBA MVP in 2011, and the MVP of the 2012 WNBA Finals with the Indiana Fever; she also helped the U.S. team win four Olympic gold medals and has been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Catchings' mother, Tauja, didn't quite reach the legendary heights of her sister, but she was a very accomplished player, as well. In high school, she won two Illinois state championships and was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in the state. And in college, at the University of Illinois, she was a first-team All-Big Ten forward and honorable mention All-America. She was selected in the third round of the 2000 WNBA Draft and later played overseas.

Tauja and Tamika's father, Harvey Catchings, played 11 seasons in the NBA, with the 76ers, Nets, Bucks and Clippers, and had more than 2,000 career points, 3,000 rebounds and 1,000 blocks. Catchings, of course, wants to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and play in the NBA one day.
