Magic Johnson<\/strong> among others \u2013 and the people who raised them.<\/p>\nBringing years of expertise to the table, Sonya, a former teacher, and Lucille, founder of the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players Association, visit hometowns all over the country and sit down with famed families to relive monumental moments in their child\u2019s youth as they climbed the ladder to success.<\/p>\n
\u201cI keep reminding folks that parenting doesn\u2019t come with an instruction book,\u201d Lucille shared at the premiere party cosponsored by Us Weekly<\/em> and TV One at The Standard, Highline in NYC on Tuesday, June 18th. \u201cThis is an opportunity for these celebrities to tell their true story, and we believe that when you see the segments and the programs, you\u2019re going to learn something.\u201d<\/p>\nThose valuable lessons? As a mother of three to Steph, 36, Seth, 33, and Sydel, 29, Sonya has one message she hopes to spread to viewers. Not only is it a motto that she lives by, but she has the Hebrew word \u201cchen,\u201d grace and mercy, tattooed on the back of her neck as a daily reminder.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet up every day and be intentional about your parenting and give it all that you have,\u201d the 58-year-old told Life & Style<\/em> as she celebrated the docuseries at a cocktail party hosted by Us and TV One. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to leave the rest, get up the next day, and start all over again with a clean slate and give yourself some grace.\u201d<\/p>\nIt doesn\u2019t stop there. Sonya continues to learn patience from her Golden State Warrior point guard son as he navigates the ups and downs of his own life.<\/p>\n
\u201cStephen is a very patient and persistent individual, and so I look at him and the things that he\u2019s gone through, he always stays joyful and \u2026 doesn\u2019t try to rush his life or any situation,\u201d she gushed to Life & Style<\/em> on the Us Weekly<\/em> and TV One premiere red carpet. \u201cHe just gets up every day, grinds it out, and he enjoys the process and so I like that. I have to watch him and just be inspired to be more patient.\u201d<\/p>\nWatching them succeed from the many outstanding accolades and broken records, to starting beautiful families and making them grandmothers, these NBA moms are proud of the men they\u2019ve raised.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m most proud of the man he\u2019s become,\u201d Sonya told Life & Style<\/em>. \u201cHe\u2019s a great father, he\u2019s a great dad, and he\u2019s an awesome son.\u201d While Lucille gracefully boasts she admires Shaq most for his \u201cconfidence, his generosity, his kindness, and the love he shows for humans.\u201d<\/p>\nRaising Fame<\/em> premieres Sunday, July 7 at 10 p.m. ET on TV One.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
