What athlete has the most kids

We have heard some wild stories over the years of athletes and the amount of children they have. Some of these athletes pump these kids out as if it is their job. The best part is that they somehow find a way to have multiple kids with multiple partners. Not sure how they don't get confused by their 9th or 10th offspring, I guess it’s just one more statistic to keep track of. For these athletes, scoring is certainly no foreign concept -- but apparently, contraceptives are.

We understand that going in raw is ideal; however, you're an athlete and wasting your hard earned bucks on child support is just dumb. For some reason, these men can do amazing athletic feats, but putting on a condom is impossible. Here are the top 10 athletes with the most kids:

Larry Johnson: 5 Children, with 4 different women.

Who doesn't remember Larry Johnson's famous four-point play against the Indiana Pacers. Well for LJ, it may be easier for him to remember this play than the names of all his children. Larry is on the hot seat as economic pressure is causing him to contemplate a return to the NBA with a front office role. Who wouldn't be under such financial pressure when you have 5 kids -- with 4 different women?

Charles Rodgers: 5 Children, with 4 different women.

Charles Rodgers had such a promising future. The 6'3'' wide receiver was a beast in college, but his unfamiliarity with contraceptives has weighed down his career. Although he was the number two overall draft pick, his future plummeted as he got older. Before even graduating high school, Charles already had two kids under his belt with two different women.

As time went on, this man saw no reason for buying condoms, with that promising future, this man thought paying child support would be easier than paying for condoms. Well Charles found this out the hard way, as he added 3 more kids to his collection with two more women.

Ray Lewis: 6 children, with an unknown amount of women.

Ray Lewis has to be one of the most feared line backers in NFL history. This man has been known for laying people out with his hard hits. However when he's not laying people out, it looks like Ray is out there laying the pipe. This man is one of the most feared men in the NFL, but it looks like he has a fear of  condoms, as he has a total of 6 children with an unknown number of women. Great job Ray, we commend you on your efforts.

 Marshall Faulk: 6 children, with 4 women.

Marshal Faulk has to be one of the most elusive running backs in NFL history. His speed and quick moves almost made him impossible to catch. Just like his speed on the field, Marshall used his speed to get around with the ladies. Unfortunately his quickness never helped him when it came to pulling out, as it seems that this may have been a difficult task. His inability to pull out led him to father 6 children, with 4 different women.

 Shawn Kemp: 7 children, with 6 different women.

Shawn Kemp is easily one of the most talented, yet reckless players in the NBA. It's sad that this man let his talents go to waste as he couldn't stay out of trouble. He has been arrested multiple times for drug possession. Shawn was known for having a lot of fun and his outlandish coke habits. Legend has it that Shawn used to do coke before games as a warm up.

Shawn not only had trouble staying out of trouble, he had trouble staying outside of women as well. Over the years, Shawn has fathered a total of 7 children, with 6 different women. Some sources say he may have as much as 11, but this is not confirmed.

 Antonio Cromartie: 7 children, with an unknown number of women.

Antonio Cromartie is a shut down corner that can keep up with almost any wide receiver in the league. Although he provides great coverage on the field, covering his own dick seams to be too much of a task for this star. Antonio is lightning fast and makes keeping up with the best wide receivers look so easy.

However remembering the name of his 7 children seems to be more difficult than his one-on-one match ups with the best receivers. Here is a video of Antonio's pitiful attempt to name his children.

Jason Caffey: 10 children, with 8 different women.

In the year 2004, Jason was bought out by the Milwaukee Bucks for a cool $11 million. Since he was officially out of a job, Jason had time to pursue his true passion: impregnating women. Over the years, Jason put in work as he fathered 10 children, with 8 different women. He was well on pace to create his own 12 man basketball roster until paying all that child support slowed down his flow. Hey, at least look at the bright side, he has two starting rotations.

Travis Henry: 11 children, with 10 different women.

Travis Henry was never one to quite grasp the idea of safe sex or sobriety, as he is one reckless person. He played running back for the Denver Broncos and led the league in marijuana-related suspensions. To his credit, Travis had a unique skill of finding the hole and busting through it, both on and off the field.

Although he did play football, he should've considered basketball as a possible career. This man can clearly average a double double as he had 11 children with 10 different women.

Evander Holyfield: 11 children, with an unknown number of women.

Evander Holyfield is one of the most iconic figures in the sport of professional boxing. He owes a lot to his natural talent and his ability to take hits. Although he sacrificed his ear and lost the majority of his brain cells throughout his career, there is one thing this man did not lose and that was his sperm count. Evander must have been a big soccer fan, as he fathered a total of 11 children -- enough to have a whole soccer team. Why buy a team when you can make your own, right?

Calvin Murphy: 14 children, with 9 different women.

Calvin Murphy easily takes the title. This was a man on a mission and it seems that he had no problem dipping his dong into anything that moved. As if wetting his whistle wasn't enough, this man obviously had no sense for the use of condoms. Maybe he just didn't know they existed, but who cares?

Looks like Calvin wanted to own his own basketball team, but realized it might be cheaper if he just produces one. Not only did he produce a full 12-man roster, but he created two more because we all know every team needs a water and towel boy. Calvin we tip our hats to you.

Many professional athletes are encouraged by their coaching staff to find a partner and settle down sooner rather than later. The theory may be that it helps the athlete to remain focused on playing their chosen sport, rather than getting carried away with the celebrity lifestyle. These NBA players didn’t waste any time in creating their own families, and it seemed once they had one kid, they wanted more. A lot more. While many of us are now settling for a couple of pets rather than starting families, these NBA stars of the past and present just wanted lots of kids. Parenting isn’t a competition, but athletes love to win, and these are the top ten NBA players with the most kids.

Shaquille O’Neal – 5 kids

Shaq is considered one of the greatest NBA players of all time – and for good reason, too. His career, which spanned almost two decades, started when he was drafted as first overall pick back in 1992. Since then, he’s gone on to break countless records, before hanging up his sneakers back in 2011. Shaquille O’Neal had four of his five children with Shaunie Nelson, who he was married to from 2002 until 2009.

He also has a daughter with his ex-girlfriend, Arnetta Yardbourgh. One of Shaq’s sons, Shareef, is currently making waves in college basketball as a power forward for the LSU Tigers. It’s been said that he has the “polar opposite playing style to his father,” so it’ll be interesting to see him progressing up the ranks.

Shawn Bradley – 6 kids

Shawn Bradley had a pretty solid and dependable career in the NBA as a center. He played for a handful of franchises during his career such as the 76ers, Mavericks, and Nets. Bradley may not have set the league alight with his performances on a regular basis, but in 1997 he was the blocks leader across the NBA.

This was probably helped by his huge 7 ft 6 in frame. Fans of the basketball movie ‘Space Jam’ may remember Bradley as one of the NBA stars who had their talent stolen. Bradley has six children in total, and all of his children’s names begin with ‘C.’ His kids’ names are Chance, Charity, Chelsea, Ciera, Chayenne, and Chase. With their father’s giant genes, maybe one day we will see some second generation Bradley stars playing basketball.

Scott Skiles – 6 kids

Former point guard Scott Skiles was a first-round draft pick in 1986 when he joined the Milwaukee Bucks. He moved around quite a lot during his basketball career, and after just one season with the Bucks, he joined the Pacers, before trading to the Magic, Bullets, and 76ers.

Skiles made his name as a player, but he also had a decent career as a coach, maintaining a job in the NBA until as recently as 2016 with Orlando. The point guard holds one record which may never be beaten, he recorded 30 assists in one single game of basketball. At home Skiles has six children, which is more than enough to help run his plays and figure out which tactics work best.

Danny Ainge – 6 kids

If you were to cut Danny Ainge, we’re pretty sure he would bleed basketball. The former Boston Celtics guard won the NBA Championship twice with his team during the 1980s, and he wanted to give something back. After retiring, Ainge became an executive at the Celtics and has so far helped his beloved franchise take an NBA Championship in 2008.

He didn’t just play basketball when he was younger though, and Ainge also played Major League Baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays from 1979 to 1981. Basketball was his best sport though, and Ainge was very good at it. He has six children, with his son Austin helping him out at the Celtics front office, making it a real family affair in Boston.

Juwan Howard – 6 kids

Two-time NBA champion Juwan Howard had a career to be proud of. He started his professional basketball career in 1994 when he was drafted to the Washington Bullets, now the Wizards. Howard was the fifth overall pick at the 1994 draft, but he would have to wait almost 20 years before getting a championship ring.

The power forward and center didn’t find true success on the court until he was a veteran with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013. Howard appeared to love his time in Miami so much he became the assistant coach there after retiring. At home, Howard has six children to keep him on his toes. He is heavily invested in philanthropy as the former NBA star does everything he can to help those who can’t necessarily help themselves.

Kenny Anderson – 7 kids

Big things were expected from Kenny Anderson after he was drafted to the NBA as the second overall pick in 1991. The point guard joined the New Jersey Nets and spent five years there before jumping around franchises until he retired in 2006. His career even took him to Lithuania in Europe, however financial trouble meant Anderson had to file for bankruptcy despite earning over $60 million from playing basketball.

The star had his first child while attending college at Georgia Tech, before having several high-profile partners after joining the NBA. Anderson has seven kids in total now, with several women, including Dee Dee Roper from Salt-n-Pepa, and reality TV star Tami Roman. After retiring, Anderson has made several cameo appearances on TV shows, although sadly, he suffered a stroke in 2019.

Shawn Kemp – 7 kids

Shawn Kemp was an intimidating presence on the basketball court, and during the 1990s, he was one of the best players in the league. His most famous time in the NBA was with the Seattle Supersonics as Kemp spent almost a decade with the franchise. Kemp has not hidden his disappointment at the fact the Supersonics were relocated and was rebranded as the Thunder in Oklahoma.

While Kemp didn’t win a championship, he was one of the most passionate players on the court. The player ran into some legal troubles after retiring, but he can fall back on his family life for happier times. Kemp has fathered seven children, with one of those kids, Shawn Kemp Jr., playing basketball in college for the University of Washington.

Scottie Pippen – 7 kids

Scottie Pippen was a huge reason why the Chicago Bulls won six NBA Finals in the 1990s, of course, the other reason was a certain Michael Jordan. When Jordan left the Bulls to go and play baseball for a while, Pippen stepped into his shoes and proved his worth. Jordan and Pippen were better together though, and they both have six championship rings from their time on the court together.

Pippen is an icon of the sport, and at home, he has a huge family with seven children. Pippen has more than enough kids to put his own team on the basketball court, and if they have their dad’s talent, they would be unbeatable. The small forward retired from the sport with numerous records to his name, cementing his legacy and place in the Hall of Fame.

Willie Anderson – 9 kids

Willie Anderson had a well-traveled basketball career after starting out playing for the San Antonio Spurs. His impact on the league was immediate after Anderson made the All-Rookie Team in his first season. Later he would struggle to find a home in the NBA, and Anderson went to Europe looking for a team. There were plenty of teams for Anderson, but there were also reportedly a lot of women in his life too.

Anderson has nine children, and it is believed to have fathered them with seven different partners. There was some success on the court for Anderson, and the small forward took a bronze medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul. Unfortunately, Anderson was never able to take an NBA championship in his eventful basketball career.

Jason Caffey – 10 kids

The aim of the game in basketball is to score more than your opponent, and the more you do that, the more chances you have of winning a championship. Jason Caffey played in the legendary Chicago Bulls team of the late 1990s, and he won two championship rings with the franchise. He could have been a part of that iconic three-peat team of the late ‘90s but was traded to the Warriors during the Bulls’ third championship season.

The player had a difficult ending to his playing career due to a variety of personal problems. It meant his career was cut short, but the player still had plenty of bills to pay. He has fathered 10 children in total, so he is still kept very busy despite retiring from basketball in 2003.

Calvin Murphy – 14 kids

Former NBA guard Calvin Murphy played for the San Diego and Houston Rockets during his basketball career for 13 years. Being a player under 6ft meant that Murphy often had to work harder than others to stand out from the crowd, earning him an All-Star spot in 1979. After playing for over a decade in the NBA, basketball fans remained familiar with Murphy as he turned to broadcasting with ESPN.

Murphy wasn’t just a hit with basketball fans, and he was also a ladies man. The basketball star has fathered a total of 14 children during his lifetime, with those kids coming from nine different women. There’s no doubt that Murphy takes the crown of NBA player with the most children, and possibly also the athletes with the most too.
