Who Is Artis Gilmore II And What Does He Do?
The former Bulls’ center is married to Enola Gay. The two met in college. The couple has three daughters named Shawna, Priya, Tiffany, and two sons named Otis James and Artis II.
All of their children are grown-ups and well-settled into their lives. Besides that, the pair also have a few grandchildren. Much information is not disclosed about his son.
This game was to remember his daughter, Priya Gilmore-Matthews. Together, several decades apart, Artis and Priya made basketball history — the first father-daughter tandem to both make it to the NCAA Final Four. When she died of a heart attack on June 8 at age 44, the basketball felt like a footnote to what was lost.
