The 19-year-old is the son of former NBA star Jason Richardson, who had a successful career and won two Slam Dunk Contest titles. Jase has been impressing scouts and is gaining attention as a potential lottery pick in the NBA draft. He is known for his scoring talent, which resembles his father's playing style. Jason Richardson played for Michigan State under coach Tom Izzo around 25 years ago. While Jason had some influence on Jase's basketball journey, much of his development came from his mother, Jackie.
