Duke's Austin Rivers is one of several current college basketball players with current or former NBA players or coaches for fathers.

Duke University guard Austin Rivers, a freshman whose father is current Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers, hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer Wednesday night to finish off the University of North Carolina Tar Heels by a score of 85-84 in Chapel Hill.

The nice-shooting Blue Devil is not the only current college basketball player with an NBA father, as this slideshow of photos will show you.

Is it in their DNA, or does having Doc Rivers or Rod Strickland as your father mean you learn a whole lot more in those games of pick-up ball in the driveway?

It's probably a little bit of both, but no matter what the reasoning, lineage seems to be strong in basketball, as one former king passes the crown down to his young prince.

Dexter Strickland
North Carolina Tar Heels junior guard Dexter Strickland (1) may be out for the season with a torn ACL, but he still has a promising basketball career ahead of him. Perhaps his father, NBA legend Rod Strickland, was behind his development into one of the NCAA's leading lights? Reuters
Tim Hardaway, Jr.
Tim Hardaway, Jr., is a promising sophomore shooting guard on the University of Michigan Wolverines. And his father? None other than the NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway. Guess it runs in the family.. Reuters
Glen Rice, Jr.
Glen Rice, Jr. (41), a junior shooting guard with Georgia Tech, has had a good start to his career, but he will have to continue on that path if he wants to live up to his father, three-time NBA All-Star Glen Rice. Reuters
Marcus Jordan
University of Central Florida junior Marcus Jordan is a guard with some pretty good skills. But he has the largest shoes of all to fill, as he is the son of the one, the only, Michael Jordan. ucfathletics.com
Shawn Kemp, Jr.
Freshman forward Shawn Kemp, Jr., has done well for the University of Washington this year, but he had a great mentor for a father. That man, of course, was six-time NBA All-Star Shawn Kemp. gohuskies.com
