Think being a celebrity gets you all the cool perks? Try being his son.
Jaelen House's dad Eddie is the back-up guard for the 2008 World Champion Boston Celtics. Like seven-year-olds everywhere, Jaelen is also a big fan of the Cartoon Network.
Now the two are coming together - Jaelen House is getting his own Cartoon Network show about being the son of Eddie House and living the day-to-day life of a sports superstar's son. One of House and wife Charlsie's three kids (including a set of twins), Jaelen is a regular on the sidelines at Celtics games, cheering for his dad, who serves as back-up guard to Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo. House was a member of the championship winning team last year, coming off the bench to help boost the team. He scored nine points in the crucial game 4 comeback that helped the Celtics secure their victory.
According to Turner Broadcasting, which owns Cartoon Network, My Dad is a Pro is "the first series of the recently announced multifaceted partnership between Cartoon Network and the NBA." The channel will also be launching extensive basketball-related content on its Website.
The kid's eye view of the game sounds like it will help launch a new generation of fans, but we won't know for awhile what the Jaelen-Eddie dynamic will do for mini point guards everywhere. My Dad is a Pro will begin airing this fall.
