1. Pau and Marc Gasol
Pau and Marc Gasol are the best, most significant brother pairing in NBA history. Period. Their pairing is not disparate and does not rest heavily on the accolades of one brother. Instead, both the Gasol brothers are NBA superstars in their own right. They are also the only pair of brothers who are international players to make the list. Together, the Gasol brothers have led Spain, whom they represent internationally, to two Olympic Silver Medals, one FIBA Basketball World Cup Title and Two Eurobasket titles. They have been an instrumental reason behind Spain challenging the previously unquestioned dominance of the USA on the world basketball stage.
Pau, the older of the Gasol brothers, is a two time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and has made 6 NBA All-Star appearances. While Pau started his career with the Memphis Grizzlies, it was at Lakers that he truly flourished into one of the game's all-time greats. Pau has also made the All-NBA team four times and was NBA Rookie of the Year in 2002! He started his career in Spain with FC Barcelona and amassed a host of European accolades as well before making his mark in the NBA. His European accolades include Spanish League Champion, King's Cup winner and Finals MVP. He was also the MVP of the FIBA Basketball World Cup in 2006!
The younger Gasol, Marc, unlike certain other players on this list, is not in the shadow cast by the achievements of the other brother in the least. Despite Pau's considerable achievements, Marc has stamped his authority as an elite player on the NBA stage. Like Pau, Marc began his basketball career in Spain for FC Barcelona, with whom he won the Spanish league in 2004. He then moved to Akasvayu Girona, playing for whom he was named the Spanish League MVP and was selected to the All-Spanish League Team. After making the plunge to the NBA, Marc moved from strength to strength. He is a three-time NBA All-Star and was even named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2013! Marc has also been named to the All-NBA Team twice in his career.
Together, the Gasol brothers have left a legacy that is quite unmatched by any other brotherly pairing in NBA history and have set lofty standards of personal and professional achievement in the world of basketball!
Salut.
Guess the Lakers players!
