Raul Neto's father watches every game his son plays. But after tuning in from 5,000 miles away in Brazil to watch the start of the rookie point guard's NBA career, Neto's entire family has been able to watch him in person over the past couple of weeks.

"That's the first time watching me play in the league," Neto said. "It's really nice. It's always nice to have my family around. It's the first time in three years we are all together."

And one of the first things Neto's dad did was buy his favorite Jazz player's jersey: John Stockton.

"He bought it the first day he came to the game," Neto said with a laugh. "He didn't want my shirt. He wants John Stockton's shirt. But that's fine."
 
Hahahaha Awesome! Loves his son, obviosuly, but some subtle trolling as well.

Well done Dad!
 
Neto's Dad was interviewed during the game a few weeks ago and was wearing that Stockton jersey.

Seems like a genuinely nice guy; but you can tell Mom wanted no part of the TV Cameras.
 
Raul has a really cute family. They sit in the section next to me so its really easy to see their reactions. His dad watches the games sooooo intensity.
 
It's nice to see a brazilian player wearing a Jazz uniform. Ok, i remember Rafael Baby Araujo, but it doesnt matter.

Neto's dad is a real Stockton's fan
