4. Brent, Jon and Drew Barry. If two is a brother act, three is a family affair -- something the Barry boys owe partly to their father Rick, the Hall of Famer best known for his prolific scoring and leadership with the Warriors. Brent won two titles with San Antonio, played 14 seasons and won the 1996 Slam Dunk contest. Jon was a dangerous 3-point threat (39.2%) for eight teams across his 14 seasons. Drew stuck around to play 60 games in threе seasons but, with a 38.1% 3-point prowess, might have lasted longer in today’s game.
3. Stephen and Seth Curry. Only one Kia Most Valuable Player -- until Antetokounmpo -- had a brother who played in the league, and that’s Stephen. The Golden State deep threat has credentials that are unassailable, but Seth hasn’t done enough yet at this level to boost the tandem higher on this list. And sorry, brothers-in-law (Warriors guard Damion Lee and Rockets guard Austin Rivers) don’t count here.
2. Dominique and Gerald Wilkins. With all due respect to George and Ed Mikan from the league’s pioneer era, Dominque is probably the greatest former player to have had a brother reach the league. The Hall of Famer ranks 14th all-time in scoring, one spot ahead of George Gervin. And Gerald was better than cup-of-coffee Derrick Gervin, scoring nearly 12,000 points in his 900 games while fathering former NBA journeyman Damien Wilkins. In time, the Currys might bump these guys down.
1. Pau and Marc Gasol. Early on, it seemed like this brother act would be best known for being traded for each other. That happened on Feb. 1, 2008, back when a 27-year-old Pau was hitting his prime while Marc was still playing in Europe. Not a chance now. Both are Hall of Fame bound, with three rings, nine All-Star appearances, six all-NBA berths, two all-Rookie selections and individual hardware (2002 Rookie of the Year for Pau, 2013 Defensive Player of the Year for Marc). This doesn’t even account for their play in international competition.
