Sergei and Anatoly Beloglazov

Soviet wrestlers. Sergei is the best wrestler of all time in my opinion. Anatoly his twin brother was also incredible and a multiple time olympic gold medalist

If we're talking siblings

Venus&Serena Williams have to be up there.

They def have a case for best siblings over the Mannings.

Others not mentioned just for interest:
Busch brothers for nascar
Reggie and Cheryl miller
Abe siblings for judo won gold the same year 2020 Olympics
I'm sure figure skating pairs/ice dancing has some notable siblings

I'd add the Jones brother's to the list. They're an underrated set of brothers.

Jon Jones
2x Light Heavyweight UFC champ
Considered by many as the GOAT UFC fighter

Arthur Jones
Super Bowl champion

Chandler Jones
3x Pro Bowl
2x All Pro

De Boer brothers from Netherlands national team in the 90s must be mentioned on football (or soccer).

In the NBA, it is likely the Gasol brothers- unless I am overlooking some brothers.

Nobody has mentioned these 2 though: Horace and Harvey Grant (probably the best identical twins) and Albert and Bernard King

Yikes as an NBA guy I'm embarrassed they totally slipped my mind but that's why i created this to see what I missed

The Van Arsdales were really good in the 70’s as well.

The Niekro’s and the Brett bros. in MLB. Also the 3 Molina brothers who all played catcher.

Tony and Phil Esposito were both superstars in the NHL.

6 Sutter brothers played in the NHL. 6!

Michael Jordan was a brother to four other children /s

I don't like JVG but it seems to be a lot rarer in team sports that you get successful brother coaches.

On other unique siblings there's the de Boer twins in Soccer, both played for Barcelona.

And if we go mono brother, in individual sport there was a brother and sister who both won gold in Judo at the same Olympics.
