The couple are the parents to seven children. Besides her successful NBA player son, Lisa Roberson is also the mother of Andre’s six siblings, including, Amber, Arielle, Arianna, Ashlee, Aaliyah and Anthony Roberson. Complete family pictured below.
Their daughter, Ashlee played basketball at Texas Tech while Amber Roberson, attended the University of Texas where she excelled in Volleyball. But the athletic display is not much of a surprise in the Roberson family. Daughter Arielle plays for the Colorado women’s team.
Having that many kids means, Lisa and her hubby have spent most of their lives chauffeuring their seven children to games, tournaments and so, so many birthday parties.
If you thought having their children play at conflicting times is a headache for Lisa and John Roberson, think again! Accoridng to John, it ‘couldn’t get any better’ because its something that’s ‘keeps him moving.’ While Lisa said to My San Antonio, that they ‘stopped making plans and just go with the moment and they figure it out as they go.”
