Scoot Henderson is a name that is known to most NBA fans at this point. Portland Trail Blazers talent has made a name for himself as an explosive player and has shown glimpses of his talent so far as well. He has further boosted his public image by acting as Romeo Travis, in the LeBron James-directed film ‘Shooting Stars.’
Scoot is a generational talent and it is quite evident from his play style, and in any other draft, he would have been a surefire first-overall pick. In this one instance unfortunately a 7 foot 4-inch Frenchman loomed over him.
Scoot Henderson has 6 siblings including his older brother CJ Henderson
Scoot Henderson comes from quite a big family. It also makes perfect sense that he is pursuing basketball, considering that his whole family has been centered around the game.
Henderson is one of seven, having two older brothers CJ and Jade, three older sisters, Diamond, Onyx, and China, and one younger sister Crystal who goes by the nickname ‘Moochie’. Barring Jade Henderson, everyone in the Henderson family has ties to basketball one way or another.
Henderson’s older sisters Onyx and China have played basketball at Cal State Fullerton and his sister Diamond played at Tennessee Tech and Syracuse. Presently all of his sisters except for Crystal help him manage his social image and build his brand as a future NBA player.
Onyx is his social media public relations manager, China is his outfit stylist for general events and Diamond has been dubbed the overall leader acting as his ‘chief of staff.’ Moochie is still in school at the moment and is a top-rated point guard in her class.
All of the Henderson children were trained from a young age by their father Chris Henderson. Scoot’s two older brothers were also athletes. CJ Henderson played basketball at Kells High School. He did excel at the sport but was unfortunately never able to make it to the pros. According to reports, CJ has since left basketball and now works as a real estate agent. His other brother Jade was a football player but not much else is known about him.
Aided by his wife Crystal, Chris Henderson has been able to successfully raise a family of athletes, however, Scoot may be the only one with the potential to break into stardom. Whatever the case may be the Henderson family works as a well-oiled machine and Scoot is lucky to have their support when going into some of the most important years of his life.
