Justin’s father Larry is the owner of the NBL.
He acquired Melbourne Tigers NBL team in 2012 before announcing the team would rebrand as Melbourne United two years later.
In 2015, Larry secured a 51 percent stake in the National Basketball League in exchange for a A$7million equity stake.
He also established internet service provider Dodo Services in 2001 with his cousin Michael Slepoy and Igor Gilenko.

Meanwhile, Justin proposed to Sophia in December last year at their home.
‘When we first met, Justin bought three loaves of artisan olive bread over to my apartment with butter and a little bucket of salt, he proposed with the same spread at home 2.5 years later,’ Sophia wrote on Instagram at the time.
‘I cried so much I gave myself a cold sore and have blistered eyelids but we’re on CLOUD 9!’
‘You have shown me a love and a companionship I could never have imagined, and an expanding family that I love like my own. To forever of being completely obsessed with you @justinkestelman.’
The couple celebrated their engagement and Sophie’s 30th birthday in January, at Omnia Bar and Bistro.
