Place of Birth: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Will he go to college? (Well Duh, don't worry beautiful people I've got a lineup all set for you! Just know while he's got some big time programs after him he's not a Victor Wembanyama or Michael Jordan in terms of his hype... YET.)
Love Interest? (Ya Know it, they'll be at the end for everyone to choose from.)What position will he play? (Gotta read to find out.)
For now let's meet the Cast of Christian's family
Jessica Alba is Sabrina Hikari Travis (Née Allen) A.K.A. Momma Bear, the Mom. A successful actress who's now beginning to dip her toes into the business world while also wholeheartedly supporting her baby boy's decision to continue his dad and grandfather legacy of NBA basketball players.
"Something about battle crazy athletes. First your grandfather, then your father and now my baby boy... I'm so proud of you. The world is yours"
Jesse Williams is Prince Christian Travis, AKA the Second Generation, The Dad. The second generation and former NBA Player, had a decent career which yielded a couple of All-Star appearances and three NBA championships as a member of the 2009-10 Los Angeles Lakers and 2011 Dallas Mavericks. Injuries however would cut him from his prime and he was forced to retire shortly after the 2016 season. He is the proud father of two children, his son Christian and daughter Zendaya.
"You're carrying the weight of two, now three generations worth of prestigious legacies on your shoulders. But you know what they say, pressure makes diamonds and you're the biggest pressure cooker I know son."
Zendaya Coleman is Zendaya Neveah Travis, AKA the Big Sister. Christian's in his opinion the most annoying but greatest oldest sister he could ever ask for. She cares for him a great deal but realizes their diverging paths could separate them sooner than she'd like. Like her mother, Daya herself has got a burgeoning acting career as well which is raising a lot of eyes and the temptation of Hollywood is calling her name.
She may not be an LI, but I figure the Zendaya lovers would appreciate me including her.
"You're an annoying little shit.... But you're also the dopest little brother a girl could ask for. Don't stray from your path too far."
Michael Clarke Duncan as Reginald "Big Truck" Travis, AKA the First Generation, Christian and Zendaya's Grandfather. A former member of the Boston Celtic teams of the late 70's and 80's. Many will say Big Truck lucked into with Celtics legends Cedric Maxwell and Robert Parish being injured but he made the most of it as in his "one shot" as he would clamp down Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson and the Showtime Lakers in a regular season game. That showing would earn him a last rotation spot on those Celtics teams that won championships in the 80's forging his place in that famed Lakers/Celtics portion of the rivalry. He has since sadly passed away, due to a heart attack shortly after Prince won his third and final championship with the Mavericks but Christian often visits his grave to "update" his Pop Pop on his life events.
