For two NBA brothers, the ball is in their court as well as in their family.
With their siblings by their sides, these National Basketball Association players have successfully transitioned from recreational community ballgames to the big stage.
It’s very exceptional. Playing in the league with his brothers, Justin and Aaron, is a luxury that we don’t take for granted, Jrue Holiday told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “I think it’s good to see that I can be on the court at the same time, and since I don’t have many years left, I always want to be out there and cherish those moments.”
Find out everything you need to know about the siblings now competing in the NBA, from the Murrays to the Currys, by reading on.

Emigrating from Greece to pursue their professional basketball dreams in the United States, the Antetokounmpo brothers have made a name for themselves in the league. Giannis was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2013 as the 15th overall pick in the first round, while Thanasis was drafted by the New York Knicks in 2014 during the second round. Now, the two both play for the Bucks.
In 2021, they helped the team claim their second NBA championship ever against the Phoenix Suns. Star power forward Giannis, referred to affectionately by fans as the “Greek Freak,” walked away with the season’s MVP title as well.
