Family Legacy in Basketball
Description
Jeff Nordgaard, the 53rd pick in the 1996 NBA Draft, traded his jersey for a legacy—both on and off the court. A standout at UW-Green Bay, he played one season with the Bucks before chasing his dream overseas, where he thrived. His sister Chari, also a UW-Green Bay legend and mother of rising star Kon Knueppel, makes their family story even more special. Nordgaard still keeps a framed SLAM magazine cover altered by young Kon—his uncle’s face pasted onto a draft class photo. From torching Kentucky in college to watching his nephew blaze his own path, Nordgaard’s journey is proof that family, grit, and basketball run deep.
