A Lansing mom fears fame and fortune will ruin her chance to gain custody of her two young sons. Their father is Bryn Forbes, a rising NBA player with the San Antonio Spurs and a former Sexton High School and Michigan State University basketball player. Forbes, 24, has gained attention as an undrafted free agent who recently moved up as a key player with the Spurs. The never-married pair are locked in a tense fight before Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Janelle Lawless. The court must decide whether the boys will stay in Texas with their father or come back to Michigan where their mother, Raelynn Taylor, 25, lives.
Taylor says Forbes took the children from Michigan without her permission in June after their relationship failed; Forbes said he was worried about his sons’ well-being. While Taylor has a small income from working at an eyeglasses store, Forbes made a half-million last year in his rookie NBA year and his income likely will increase from there. He counts Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Amy Krause as a family friend. The judge testified as a character witness for Forbes in a referee hearing.
Paul Garcia: Pop on Bryn Forbes: “He’s trying to carve out an NBA career.” Pop said Forbes has worked hard on both ends of the court.
Jeff McDonald: Pop was asked if Bryn Forbes reminds him any of Gary Neal. Pop: “No. … He reminds me of Steph Curry.” Me (because I’m me): “Did you say ‘Steph’ or ‘Seth?’
Jeff McDonald: (Bryn Forbes’) contract is guaranteed to $100K if he’s still on the roster Aug. 10. Becomes fully guaranteed if he makes the Jan deadline.
