I'm not talking about a situation where one player was a superstar and the other only had a brief stint in the league at the end of the bench for a year or two. I'm talking duos where each brother at least had a solid career on their own, even if one was a lot better than the other.
Which duo do you think was the best?

Re: Best Brother Duos in NBA History
Poor Drew Barry.
I think it's pretty clearly the Gasol bros. Van Arsdale #2 given the criteria, both 3x Allstars, albeit in the split league years.
Shoutout to the McGuires for both making the HOF (Al for his coaching, not playing).
And to the Jones's for having 4 bros go pro.

Re: Best Brother Duos in NBA History
eminence flat out nailed it as I was checking the Van Arsdales and the McGuires who are the early brothers I remember as well. I would say that that Lopez brothers are probably my second choice ahead of the Van Arsdales; Dick was a terrific player, Tom more an energy guy.

Re: Best Brother Duos in NBA History
Thread probably should be second-best brother duo. EDIT: Third-best if including the Currys.
Van Arsdales are the most balanced while still being good, but I think if I had one of these duos on my team other than the Gasols, I would want the Wilkins duo.

Re: Best Brother Duos in NBA History
Not the best but a worthy addition if we are talking peaks, lower but still valid if career value.

Wasn't Gerald Wilkins the Jordan Stopper?

You are right; I was thinking Ruben Patterson but he was the one who proclaimed himself the Kobe Stopper.
