NEW ORLEANS, LA – FEBRUARY 14: Miles Plumlee /

1. Mason Plumlee

There aren’t any sets of three brothers in the NBA. So, thank you Perky Plumlee. First off, for having the name Perky. That’s an awesome name. And for raising three kids who were tall enough to be NBA players. Don’t worry, LaVar, I’ll make sure to include LiAngelo in a few years if I’m asked to do this slideshow again. If he makes it to the NBA, that is.

Mason is the middle child between Miles and Marshall. I’m just wondering why Perky didn’t stick to the P theme and name his children Packard, Painter, and Parker. Then again, had he done that, the Plumee’s might not even be in the NBA.

Packard would be a packing expert for U-Haul, Painter would be a semi-famous painter, and Parker would Spider-Man.

Alas, they are all basketball players.

Based on everything I know about basketball, Mason is the best of the bunch. Of course he is. He’s the middle child. He could never beat Miles and his parents always told him that he had to let Marshall win. Mason never won a one-on-one game in the Plumlee household. That just made him stronger. It made him work harder than his other brothers. Miles thought he would always dominate. Marshall thought it would always be simple. They were both wrong.

Happy Mason Plumlee Day
