Who are the best brothers in sports history? 

Post#1 » by Pinkyring » Tue Oct 19, 2021 1:36 am

So I live in dallas trevon and stefan (NFL) are a hot duo atm so it had me thinking who takes the crown, the only significant pair of NBA brothers i can think of are horace and harvey grant and jrue and justin holiday. NFL has the Watts bros, the bosas, the mannings, who am i missing?

The Gasols are the best in the NBA.

Yeah, they have to be the best NBA brothers.

But yeah, the Mannings for any sport, though it wouldn't shock me if there were some soccer brothers that were great that I don't know about (or rugby or cricket or whatever isn't that popular here).

Dominique and Gerald Wilkins were both really good. Gerald also had some pretty talented kids.

For current NBA, Steph and Seth Curry over Jrue and Justin (and throw in Aaron) Holiday.

Probably can’t top Peyton and Eli Manning who have two superbowl championships each.

This is the answer, but most people here only know NBA, NFL and MLB lol.

Eli Manning is nowhere near as good of a football player as the Klitschko are boxers. But Peyton makes it somewhat close.

The Klitschko brothers would surely be up there given the sustained boxing dominance.

Yeah,specifically for basketball, while the Gasols might be leading right now, I like the Currys to outdo them in the end.

... and to create a "Spicy Vacation", that's Curry before Holiday, I'll throw in Dell. He's the reason they are brothers!

Dick and Tom VanArsdale need to be mentioned. Probably best twins anyway....

They are for sure, but they also boxed in an era that was about as lame as it gets.

Splash brothers (Steph & Klay), Bash brothers (McGwire & Canseco).

Henrik and Daniel Sedin ex-NHL players.

Not the best, but they're up there.
