NBA today: 5 best brother combos playing in the 2019-20 season

#2 Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas Antetokounmpo

Following in the footsteps of their elder brother

From selling paraphernalia on the streets of Athens, to being named the Most Valuable Player of the 2018-19 NBA season, Giannis Antetokounmpo has come a long way. In the process, he has single-handedly dragged his family out of a hole and put them on the brightest stage.

Kostas and Thanasis Antetokounmpo do not need to look any further than their elder sibling for inspiration.

While Thanasis has been provided the opportunity to play with Giannis in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform, Kostas is suiting up in purple-and-gold for the ongoing season alongside the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Despite the fact that all Antetokounmpo brothers not named Giannis are yet to make major waves on the stat-sheets, their collective grit through their past hurdles is laudable to say the least.

#3 Brook and Robin Lopez

Brook is a better scorer than his brother

After spending over 11 successful seasons in the league, the Lopez brothers have managed to establish quite a reputation for themselves. From their days playing at the Stanford University, to going pro together, and finally to being a couple of NBA veterans, the brotherly bond between Brook and Robin has stood the test of time.

Drafted in the first round of the 2008 draft, both these players posses fairly contrasting skills as basketball players. While Brook has become a lot more proficient after adding the three-point shot to his arsenal, Robin is more of an astute facilitator with a pivotal impact on defense.

That said, both these players have a way of affecting the game even when their shots are not falling, rendering the stat-sheets imprecise at times.

Brook has been servicing the Milwaukee Bucks with his versatile repertoire for over a year now, while his brother is just beginning to get the feel of Bucks basketball.
