Best Bball Brother Duos

Just noticed that the Curry brothers are both in the top 10 in scoring, and that the eventual POY candidate, Blake Griffin has a brother who's not too bad himself. And the Morris brothers from Kansas look like studs.

So it got me thinking about the best college bball brother duos of all time - who do you think is the best? They didn't have to play on the same team or at the same time.

Some names to ponder:

Harvey and Horace Grant.
Brooks and Blake Lopez
Rodney and Scooter McCray
John and Jim Paxson
Gerald and Dominique Wilkins
Brent and Jon Barry

Bernard and Albert King are easily better than the duos you listed.

To be honest, I didn't know Bernard King had a brother who played. I was too young to watch either of them play. I can't imagine a bro duo with a better resume than those two.

Same boat. I had no clue he had a brother, and I especially didn't know he was an ACC POY. Pretty impressive.

My earliest bball memory other than going to UT games was watching (on TV) Freddy Brown pass the ball directly to James Worthy in the 1982 championship game.

Ha! - no, I'm not being biased. That's what stuck in my mind as a 7-yr-old -- the screw-up.
