Not only do the reigning champions return, offseason gets all athletes ready to come back with a vengeance, sending fans into an all new frenzy. But even with all the excitement of good ol' competitive rivalry, it seems like the NBA players are taking a back seat to the kids. Yes, that's right.
The star athletes are no longer the only ones in the spotlight.
If you're a basketball fan, you know some of the best commentary and unforgettable moments happen during the post-game conferences, especially with the kids and we've all seen them. Chris Paul with his son, Allen Iverson with his kids, and in case you forgot, Riley Curry had some of the best appearances during her dad's post-game conferences last season, and moments like those only make you wonder: what do those little stars have in store this year?
Below are 9 of your favorite athletes with their adorable kids in tow. It's good to see these men take charge of fatherhood by bringing their kids to work.

If Carmelo's playing, you can bet his son is watching from the sidelines.
