Ron Harper On The Biggest Lesson He Learned Playing With MJ + His Sons On NBA Brotherly Competition

5x NBA Champion Ron Harper pulls up with his sons, Ron Harper Jr. and Dylan Harper, for a special family edition of Cousins with Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady. Ron Sr. opens up about sacrificing his role as a scorer to win championships alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen and breaks down why Kobe Bryant’s game was the closest we’ve ever seen to MJ. With plenty of family-friendly banter, Ron Jr. and Dylan talk about competing against each other in the NBA Rising Stars, their “welcome to the league” moments, navigating expectations, and whether we’ll see Dylan in the 2027 NBA Slam Dunk Contest?
