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.

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.
