    "Hey Dad, someone has the same name as us."

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Besides the TV work, Worthy is senior vice president of RP & Associates, a creative marketing and advertising company in Hermosa Beach ? and he's now a full-time dad. Divorced since 1996, he said he has custody of daughters Sable, 16, and Sierra, 14.

    There was a time Worthy's daughters didn't know a lot about their father. He said when he took Sierra to a Britney Spears concert at Staples Center four years ago, Sierra pointed up at Worthy's retired No. 42 jersey and said, "Hey, Dad, someone has the same name as us."

    "I told her, 'No, that's me, I used to play for the Lakers,' " Worthy

    said.</div>

    LOL, I don't know where to laugh or feel bad for James. I've always loved Big Game.

    I don't know why you would feel sad?

    The daughter was 10 years old at the time. I don't find it hard to believe that a girl that age would make that mistake. It was probably one of those father/daughter moments to him, if I had to guess.

    Yeah, I guess it's nothing to feel bad about, but I don't think 10 years old is t thaat young, I wouldn't say it was a MISTAKE, cause obviously she didn't know that her dad was a professional basketball player for the Lakers.

    Either way, I thought it was pretty funny.

    Oh yeah, it's definately funny. I just don't know if she put the two together or if she didn't know. The article mentions that they didn't know a lot about their father, so that could just be ignorance from that.

    Either way, funny story.
