Who is Dylan Harper’s mom? Maria steals spotlight at NBA Draft after Spurs pick her son

Dylan Harper's mom stole the show after he was picked second by the San Antonio Spurs during the NBA Draft on Wednesday night. 

Moments after it was announced that Rutgers Scarlett Knights star would be joining Victor Wembanyama in Texas, his mother, Maria Pizarro, spoke to ESPN about how proud she was of her 19-year-old son.

"His flat out love for the game, his determination, hard work, and humility day in and day out," Maria responded, after being asked what led her son to the NBA.

The newly drafted NBA player's mom looked stunning in a long black leather dress. 

Her brunette was styled down in large waves. 

The stunning Filipino mother's brief appearance on national television sent fans into a frenzy on social media. 

"Respectfully Dylan Harper's mom is an absolute smoke show," one person commented on X. 

"Man that momma smoking MAN," another person wrote. 

"Dylan Harper mom about to gain a million new followers on Instagram," someone else wrote. 

Dylan Harper comes from a family of athletes 

Dylan comes from a long line of successful athletes. 

The 6-foot-6 guard is the son of former LA Lakers star Ron Harper, a five-time NBA champion who spent 15 years in the league. His brother, Ron Harper Jr. plays for the Detroit Pistons, and his mother played college ball at the University of New Orleans and coached high school basketball for years. Ron and Maria were divorced in 2012. 

The newly minted Spurs rookie's youngest sibling, Mia Harper, 13, has shown talent on the basketball court, and could be one of the best athletes in the family.

However, as of now, she has opted to focus on competitive dance instead of basketball, which her family has traditionally excelled in.
