These are the times NBA players faced their brothers. And first, we got the time Pat Spencer tried to bully his younger brother in front of the entire arena.
The place would have exploded had he made that, but no one was more hyped than the Morris twins. Cause after Mark Keefe and Marcus got picked in the NBA draft back to back, the Morris brothers knew they had a bright future in the NBA. Well, over the years, they played against each other multiple times. And in 2016, Mark Keefe finally got to show Marcus why you don't go for the older brother.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:38)
Drive it on his twin brother to the basket, and Mark Keefe got a block, and he'll pick his twin brother up.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:45)
But sometimes greatness runs in the family, cause the Holliday brothers once made NBA history. See, Jeru, Aaron, and Justin Holliday all had their dream of getting to the NBA. And in 2019, with Jeru on the Pelicans, Justin and Aaron on the Pacers, they found themselves in the league at the same time. But on December 28th, they found themselves in the history books, cause they became the first brother trio to share the court at the same time.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:07)
Do we have them all?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:08)
We do.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:08)
First time in NBA history. That three brothers on the floor at the same time.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:12)
Yeah, that is such a blessing.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:14)
Sensational feeling.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:15)
But some brothers don't get along as well, cause the Lopez brothers are the most competitive brothers to ever play in the NBA. See, Brooke and Robin Lopez have had a sibling rivalry since they were young, and when they got to the NBA, it only got worse. I mean, you had Brooke dunking all over Robin.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:29)
Lopez makes his move.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:30)
Lopez slams it down. Big finish for Brooke.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:34)
And Robin flaming Brooke like he wasn't part of the family.

**Robin Lopez** (1:38)
That's a flop. He's an actor. I know. He was in West Side Story. He was Officer Krupke.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:42)
But in the 2020 season, their sibling rivalry heated up to the max in the most unlikely place, Milwaukee, where they were teammates for the first time since college.

**Robin Lopez** (1:51)
I did tell Bud, I was like, Bud, you have to realize now we might get in a fight during practice like once a week.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:57)
I don't know if they love each other or hate each other, but if I was Jeff T's brother, I'd hate him for sure because he put his brother Marquise in the blender. See, growing up, Jeff and Marquise would always play one-on-one, and Jeff would always lose.

**Giannis Antetokounmpo** (2:08)
When we was younger, we would play one-on-one all the time. We would compete against each other.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:11)
When he got of age and started probably about to beat me, I kind of knew.

**Giannis Antetokounmpo** (2:14)
I was like, I ain't playing anymore.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:15)
I was like, I'll catch you in the league.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:16)
Well, Jeff got his chance because when the Nets played the Hawks, Jeff found himself being guarded by his brother. And did this...

**SPEAKER_3** (2:24)
.Jumps too high when he makes a missle.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:29)
You don't do your brother like that, dog. But the Ball brothers wanted all the smoke because they always knew they faced each other in the NBA. See, growing up, Lanzo and LaMelo Ball were high school teammates and stars, constantly dropping 40 points each and even destroying each other at home. LeBron is going to sit on that. Hell, no.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:49)
Get it on my trim, bro! Take this outside.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:52)
It's time to do it on the real court.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:55)
Let's go. Let's go inside. Predictable!

**SPEAKER_1** (3:02)
Well, eventually, when they both got to the NBA, their dad LaVar knew his sons would be stars.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:06)
LaVar said, I don't need to feel vindicated on the fact that all my boys knew they were going to the NBA. They believed in me. I believed in them.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:14)
From there on out, the Ball brothers have been cooking in the NBA, with Lanzo averaging 11, 6, and 5 in his career, and LaMelo averaging 21, 7, and 6 in his. But whenever the two get to hoop against each other, it's always showtime.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:26)
It's two on Lanzo. No more fouls to give for the Bulls.

**SPEAKER_10** (3:29)
Ball against Ball again.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:32)
LaMelo looking to answer for three. That's good.
Lanzo trying to stick with LaMelo, who steps back for three.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:41)
With a last name like Ball, you got no choice but to ball out. No pair of brothers will ever shoot better than the Currys. See, it's no secret Steph and Seth Curry are snipers, but whenever they play against each other, it's a shooting clinic. In a game two of the 2019 playoffs, the Currys got to heat it up like we've never seen before, with Seth dropping 16 and Steph dropping 37
