Basketball is clearly in the genes for the Dozier family. Former Gamecock big man Perry Dozier, now the head basketball coach at Spring Valley High School, has a son heading to the NBA All-Star game.

His son 12-year-old son Perry has been named to the Junior NBA national team. His sister Asia was named a Junior WNBA player IN 2006, she's now a standout at Spring Valley. Big sis has been a big help to her younger brother through the process. They are the only brother-sister duo to ever earn the honor.

Perry is one of five players chosen from thousands across the country for the trip. Dozier heads to NBA All-Star weekend in just a couple of weeks on February 13 out in Phoenix where he'll take part in three-point shooting and skills competitions.

The sixth grader also practices with his father's varsity basketball team at Spring Valley High School every day.
