The NBA has featured over 70 brother pairs since its inception. More recently, it has featured the likes of the Ball brothers, Marcus and Markieff Morris, Brook and Robin Lopez, Justin, Aaron and Jrue Holidays and Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas Antetokounmpos.
On that note, let's take a look at the top five NBA brother duos of all time who have played together or against each other. Without further ado, let's get started:

NBA twins Horace and Harvey Grant were always going to make this list. Horace is a member of the four-championship rings club, and is an All-Star alum. Horace had a stellar 17 seasons in the league, winning the championship thrice with the Chicago Bulls and once with the LA Lakers.
Harvey, who is less decorated than his sibling, played for 11 seasons in the NBA - seven with the Washington Wizards, three with the Portland Trail Blazers and one with the Sixers.
Harvey's sons, Jerian Grant, a former Wizards point guard, and Jerami of the Detroit Pistons, have also featured in the NBA. Both players have been stacked against each other on multiple occasions.
#4 Bernard and Albert King
One half of the King Brothers, Bernard King, is a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee. He was inducted on September 8, 2013.
He was the 1985 NBA scoring champion, and made the All-Star team four times during his career (1982, 1984, 1985, 1991). His return from a knee injury is arguably the greatest comeback in NBA history. Bernard is the 50th all-time leading scorer in the NBA, with 19,655 points scored in 874 appearances.
His brother, Albert, was the New York Nets' (now Brooklyn Nets) 10th overall pick in the 1981 NBA draft. He played in the NBA for nine seasons, representing the Philadelphia 76ers, San Antonio Spurs and the Washington Wizards.
#3 Steph and Seth Curry
Steph and Seth Curry are the sons of former NBA player Dell Curry, and are another brother duo to feature in the league.
The three-time NBA champion, Steph is older to Seth by 18 months. Unlike Steph, who has played all of his NBA career thus far with the Golden State Warriors, Seth has moved about a lot. He has played for seven different NBA franchises, but has played the most with the Dallas Mavericks.
While Steph Curry, the Warriors point guard, has numerous achievements under his belt, Seth doesn't. But the latter has his elite three-point shooting prowess, with a career three-point accuracy of 44.4%. Both players are amazing shooters, and they have been matched against each several times, with Steph having the lead.
#2 Dominique and Gerald Wilkins
There would be no list without the inclusion of the notable Wilkins brothers, Dominique and Gerald Wilkins.
Dominique, the older of the two, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006. The nine-time NBA All-Star was the 1986 NBA scoring champion with an average of 30.3 points per game during the season.
He averaged 24.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists during his career. The Human Highlight Film, as he is fondly called, is considered to be one of the best dunkers in the NBA. He is the 14th all-time leading scorer in NBA history, with 26,668 points scored.
Gerald is not as decorated as his older brother, spending 13 seasons in the NBA, most of them with the New York Knicks. He had a career average of 13 points, 2.9 rebounds and three assists.
He was consistently at the forefront of the Knicks' arsenal, second-leading the team in scoring behind Patrick Ewing. Gerald is the father of former Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Damien Wilkins. Gerald and Dominique got to play together for the first time in the 1998-99 NBA season for the Orlando Magic.
#1 Pau and Marc Gasol
The Gasol brothers are the best and most talked-about brother duo in the NBA. In NBA history, no brother pair is more decorated than the Gasols.
They have nine All-Star appearances and three NBA Championships between them. Pau was the 2002 Rookie of the Year, earning his place on the All-Star team six times. He won two NBA championship rings with the LA Lakers in 2009 and 2010.
Marc, on the other hand, has won the championship title once with the Toronto Raptors in 2019. He made the All-Star team three times. In 2013, he was named the Defensive Player of the Year.
Both brothers have had their runs against each other on the court, having played 35 times. In 35 head-to-head games between them, Pau Gasol's teams emerged victorious on 22 occasions.
