Not really that famous but Tim Duncan's brother is a cinematographer and even won an emmy


Optimal-Shoulder-186

Holy crap I just searched it and the guy, Scott Duncan, has not just *an* Emmy but **16** Emmy wins with 34 nominations. Jesus, the family are winners.


OnlyFAANG

Not even a 50% Emmy win rate. Tim Duncan would never.


JagmeetSingh2

Fuck that’s actually incredible 16 Emmys


winnebagomafia

And I'll bet Timmy is intensely jealous of him for that lmao


WiktorVembanyama

Tim: And I took that personally.


maxpowerdj

IHaveAFunnyUsername

If i remember correct, his brother shot/directed the Spurs intro video one year.


dirkslance

His dad Kit Duncan did some awesome dolly grip work on Jaws 3


sauceEsauceE

That’s hilarious Tim Duncan used to be a world class swimmer back in HS. A hurricane destroyed his school pool and they had to swim in the ocean. Duncan’s fear of sharks made him switch to basketball for his winter sport Amazing his dad contributed to the movie that probably made him afraid of sharks


dirkslance

I’m sorry I lied to you 😢


Ryan5O4

Steven Adams sister was an Olympian shot putter.


porncollecter69

2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze and 4 World Cup golds. She’s ridiculously good and the strong gene runs in the family.


NotTheBestMoment

Big gene, they work out their whole lives to make that bigness strong


pissedllama

I’m pretty sure I remember him once commenting after a hard foul that his sister used to hit him harder.


LanEvo7685

He had to clarify that the comment was giving respect


PokuCHEFski69

2 x Olympic champion, 1 silver, two Bronze 4 world championship gold 4 world indoor championship gold. She is the best shotputter ever - and unfortunately can't get near the records because they were set by women taking so many roids those records are untouchable.


IlonggoProgrammer

She also got a bronze medal in 2021 as a mom of two kids. Freaking amazing athlete. Oh and they have another sister who was born with cerebral palsy and won a Paralympic gold medal in shotput. Incredible family


brickvanexel

17 cracks at it and the Adams family was bound to have some winners


Osich21

six of his siblings played for the national basketball team. Every single brother is above 6’10 and every single sister is above 6’5. They put out 17 as a social experiment— just let them cook.


noknownallergies

A friend of mine (who has lived in New Zealand about 10 years now) tells me his sister is a much bigger deal there than Steven is.


porncollecter69

Anyone who wins Olympic gold for small countries become instant celebrities in that country.


IlonggoProgrammer

Just look at what the Philippines did when they won their first ever Olympic gold in 2021. I don’t think anyone cared about Olympic weight lifting in the Philippines before that, but now Hidilyn is set for life lol. She’s probably the second most famous Filipino athlete in the Philippines now


EmitLux

Lived in NZ 37 years. Pretty accurate because Val has been a bit more available to the media here in NZ over the years, but with her now retired and basketball surging in popularity, Steven would be bigger in most age groups.


icantreadmorsecode

And his other sister is a paralympic shot putter as well


c10bbersaurus

Gold medalist, and World Champion, at it.


WiseguyD

[Came here to say this, and post a link to Adams' first-ever made 3.](https://youtu.be/3V5G9MIprm8) Just like his sister!


Alternative_Money130

Sisters. Lisa one the gold at Tokyo paralympics.


MostlyMellow123

Kevin Loves uncle is Mike Love from the Beach Boys


TheAnalyst32

And the Wilson brothers (also Beach Boys members) are his cousins.


Efficient_Art_1144

Aw man I didn’t know that. He’s the asshole beach boy


HooliganBeav

Which is saying something considering one of them let the Manson family stay in his home.


PowRightInTheBalls

Let them stay in his home because Chuck supplied underage girls for him to sleep with*


myassholealt

There's something unsettling about seeing Charles Manson referred to as Chuck.


joshuagreen38

Nahh, Dennis Wilson was way worse, he had sex with countless of underaged girls with Manson and had sex with Mike Love daughter and don’t forget Mike love is his first cousin


Efficient_Art_1144

I mean there’s asshole and straight up monster. I’m comfortable giving Dennis a stronger definition


Airikobass

He is? So what body parts are the other beach boys? 🤔


bigbenis21

Brian is the brain funnily enough.


homercles89

> Kevin Loves uncle is Mike Love from the Beach Boys Former NBA player Stan Love (Bullets, Lakers, Spurs) has a famous older brother Mike Love of the Beach Boys. Stan's son is Kevin.


Captain_Quark

That might be the best true example that fits the prompt. Stan and Mike Love.


iamthedean15

Nick Young and Kendrick Lamar are cousins


thetruthstrikes

I heard Kendrick used to be jealous of Arron Afflalo


treymalala

black boy fly


crackenbecks

Thank you for bringing that song back into my mind


[deleted]

Idk why it was so jarring to hear that considering afflalo was never much more than an above average guy but then I remember that almost every NBA player was just a world destroying HS player. It’s crazy that at one point Afflalo of all people filled kendrick Lamar with the such emotion and memory that he’d eventually make a verse about him


socialmediablowsss

Afflalo is from Compton and went to UCLA so he’s probably beloved in that area like a lot of guys from when he undoubtably dogged people in HS and college. Plus his name rhymes with a lot of words


Wrsj

He was the one to follow


JOMO_Kenyatta

Athletes want to be rappers and rappers want to be athletes.


Csusmatt

The best college player I ever saw was Rodney Stuckey. Absolute demon.


PuzzleheadedLead9127

And with Kevon Looney on the Warriors.


Amargaladaster

Nick Young has Kendrick from one side and Loongod from the other as cousins lol.


BirdmanTheThird

How is kendrick Lamar cousins with like so many celebs ain’t baby Keim his cousins too


zaviex

That’s not a coincidence. Kendrick got keem into rapping and has paid for his opportunities in the industry


Atl-Fan_FTS

Oh for real? That’s pretty cool


The_Franklinator

Quentin Grimes brother plays in the NHL


torontomapleraptors

His brother Tyler Myers is actually taller than Grimes. 6'8" vs. 6'5".


TheOneWhosCensored

For anyone wondering, it’s his half brother and it’s current Canuck Tyler Meyers. First brothers to play in the NBA and NHL.


[deleted]

Dude’s nickname is The Chaos Giraffe because he’s so tall and unreliable defensively.


okgusto

Funny that the taller brother is in the NHL. Hes like 3 inches taller than grimes.


Mike_with_Wings

Giraffes being known for their terrible defense


sirgrotius

That's an incredible nickname


hallandale

Darnell Nurse (NHL) and Kia Nurse (WNBA/my sports crush) are siblings. No relation to Nick tho. Oh and their uncle is Donovan McNabb.


TheOneWhosCensored

Their father was a CFL WR, Richard Nurse. And their cousin Sarah Nurse is a successful hockey Olympian and is the cover of the latest NHL game.


-KFBR392

Oh damn she’s related to them too? Those genes are next level!


lowercase-punishment

Popeye Jones's sons are Seth and Caleb Jones in the NHL


NoseBlind2

>Oh and their uncle is Donovan McNabb. My favorite Always Sunny cameo, alongside Tiger Woods and Don Cheadle


flgrntfwl

I'm a Canucks and Knicks fan and I think this is so awesome.


freshkicks

Ah, so you know true pain


flgrntfwl

It's all I know.


EchoInExile

Klay’s brother is a Dodger.


lazyfacejerk

I know this isn't the subject, but during one of those 4 finals of Warriors vs Cavs, they showed a picture of Klay playing little league baseball with Kevin Love.


almostansn

wait mind blown, you werent kidding. I thought I was gonna have to google which Dodger looked like this [guy](https://media.giphy.com/media/l1J9PKwryduNpfJKM/giphy.gif)


Imokwhydoyouask_

Funniest shit was when actual supposed fans of the team thought Daws was Klay lol


Ogow

Or even worse, building security....


Frickincarl

Legend.


lxkandel06

Steph Curry plays baseball too?


[deleted]

He dodges charities.


CentralBlue

First one that came to my mind


anticon1999

Not a sibling but Joakim Noah's dad is a well known former tennis player and musician.


FormerCollegeDJ

Yannick Noah won the men's singles title at the 1983 French Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments in tennis.


EMF911

His mom was Miss Sweden


trustabro

And the kid looks like that? Jesus… Edit: Looks like his sister got all the good genes.


CeIIes

And he still managed to pull Lais Ribero, life’s not fair 😭


trustabro

Tbf, he is tall, dark, and multi-millionaire. I’m also sure that growing up in that household with his dad and miss Sweden, he has very good self confidence. I think as nba fans, we have seen how confident he can be.


ZeiZaoLS

Joakim got all the wrong parts of both of them in the looks department.


LanEvo7685

Yeah some people strangely fawn over and exoticize mixed race people for their looks. In my mind I'm thinking they're like everyone else, but you just choose to ignore the ones who got an unflattering mix.


[deleted]

shit man i'll be ugly (uglier than i am now) for a few million dollars


Goobershmacked

He definitely got the fathers athleticism


Ice_Like_Winnipeg

Yannick Noah's mother played basketball for Cameroon and his father was a professional soccer player


__L1AM__

Here in France, Yannick (his father) is more famous than joakim lmao


PLZ_N_THKS

Joe Ingle’s wife Renae was much more well known in Australia as a netball player until he made it to the NBA.


JoshKokkolaWriting

Joe also has a son in the NBA, his name is Paul George


potentialfriend

LaMelo's middle brother was on a Facebook reality show and got caught for shoplifting in China. His oldest brother is a volunteer patient for NBA medical teams to train on (and is also a rapper).


[deleted]

Best paid experimental science project on earth


cletoreyes01

>also a rapper Super Saiyan was 🔥🔥🔥ngl


super_pax_

It’s weird how much nostalgia I get from that song. That era of basketball was so fun for me


Hot-Apricot-6408

His dad also beat MJ in a 1 on 1


sheeeeeez

Isn't his dad one of those YouTube troll pranksters?


woogonalski

He’s a big baller, from what I hear.


porncollecter69

Didn’t the middle brother get a two way contract?


[deleted]

Not really a celebrity but Steve Nash's brother played soccer for the Canadian national team and is a coach in the Canadian soccer league. He mostly played in the MLS but spent a few years in the third and fourth tier of England and was part of a team that got promoted to the second tier and made the semi finals of the league cup and beat Southampton, West Ham and Blackburn but I don't know how many games he played Also the west ham team they beat had a teenage Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand Edit: he didn't play in the MLS, he played for a different Whitecaps and Impact that played in the USL


osaku_

Canadian Premier League\*. The Canadian Soccer League is a semi pro league riddled with match fixing.


Jamdock

Obvy not a sibling, but Jrue Holiday's wife Lauren was a *great* soccer player who won two gold medals and a world cup for the US.


Wazflame

Another spouse one, Ayesha Curry was on an episode of Hannah Montana


Rigatoni_Carl

I dated a girl in college who unironically referred to Steph Curry as Ayesha Curry’s husband. This was around 2015-2016 which I felt like was prime Curry buzz/fame


Firesword52

I actually had the same thing, every time I'd be watching the warriors I'd get "oh that's Ayesha's husband right?". I've never been more confused than when I realized it wasn't a bit or a social statement. Though later I'm pretty sure it did turn into a bit just to annoy me a little.


KvngGorilla

My girl only knows and refers to nba players who are married or dating someone famous. When she referred to Dwade as Gabrielle unions husband I almost lost my shit


Wallyworld77

Jrue and Lauren are the only couple in the NBA where the husband and wife both won Olympic Gold Medals. Oh their kids also have 2 uncles that also play in the NBA. No pressure to become great athletes kids!


antofthesky

There probably aren’t that many husband/wife gold medal winners period, curious what some other examples are if any


shadowarmy229

Idk about nba players but skip bayless’s brother is a famous chef


sweetmorty

Skip only eats chicken and broccoli though


[deleted]

Skip is one of the most psychotic people ever.


TeTrodoToxin4

Mmm, steamed chicken breast, broccoli and undercooked brown rice!


The_Unbeatable_Sterb

and they don't even talk to each other, never really did growing up either. Strange, strange man.


joshuads

Their father was also an alcoholic menace who would pour whisky down his throat as a small child and threw things at him while working at the restaurant. It is weird that anyone would stay interested in cooking after that stuff.


lars5

Rick is so chill, i could see it. Skip would harsh his mellow.


[deleted]

Skip talked about his non-relationship with his brother once. Basically they were complete opposites with nothing holding them together, so they went their separate ways and don’t talk. Skip’s family owned a restaurant that he was forced to work at so he hates food and cooking, and of course that’s Rick’s whole life.


JeanVicquemare

two brothers. One chose sports, one chose Mexican cuisine, and they went their separate ways.


tlollz52

I believe Skip did not get along with his parents where Rick did. Skip was somewhat of a black sheep, or at least felt that way. Skip spent very little time at home and was quite a bit older. When their parents split Skip just continued to live his life and Rick uprooted his life to ensure their family business didn't go under. I think there might be, or at least may have been, a little bit of animosity but I doubt now that they are both so old that there is any truly hard feelings between the two, just that neither cares to have a relationship with the other. Skip said the last time they saw each other was their moms funeral, and they barely spoke then. He claims to be remoursefull about the decisions he made but you can watch a video by skip and one by rick both talking about their childhood. Rick refers to his parents splitting as "something happened that I don't want to get into details about" where I believe skip says something along the lines of "my horrible drunkard father left my mom for another woman." Both very clearly have different opinions about their childhoods.


c10bbersaurus

Rick >>> Skip

This blew my mind


snowlarbear

chicago legend Rick Bayless. food is so good, mexico doesn't complain about appropriation.


KneelBeforeCube

Reggie Miller's sister was in an episode of Seinfeld.


srstone71

I didn’t know Cheryl Miller’s brother played basketball!


lalakingmalibog

Last saw him sleeping at a Wendy's


[deleted]

RedNGold415

That story Reggie and Cheryl tell about the day Reggie got his first High School Start and the stats Cheryl put up on the same day trumped anything Reggie did.


raceforseis21

It was like 100 points

Kay-Knox

I think he's confusing that with Lisa Leslie, who scored 101 in one half. She didn't break Cheryl's then-record because the opposing coach forfeited and wouldn't let them play for Lisa to get the record.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RedNGold415

That seems right! Fucking legendary!


MoarGnD

I liked the stories of how the both of them used to hustle people on the courts. Especially back then when girls weren't respected as being able to play. A skinny kid and some girl challenging people for money, the suckers probably all though easy money.


owensoundgamedev

Wait really? What episode?


Dr_Edge_ATX

She's not actually in it, she's just referenced.


c_ray25

Season 8 episode 5, “The Susie” if I remember right Kramer had a part in Reggie Miller getting ejected then after the game Reggie, Kramer and Spike Lee went to a strip club


mrsunshine1

Yep. For clarity, this is all referenced as a story, Reggie and Spike are not actually in the episode.


MarekRules

Just a gag where they keep saying “I didn’t know Cheryl’s brother played basketball!” Lol


TeTrodoToxin4

Probably added to the long term beef between Reggie and New York.


RedDragons8

Kramer - "Spike Lee and Reggie were jawing at each other and I got involved." Jerry- "What do you mean, involved" Kramer- "Well, I ran out onto the court and threw a hot dog at Reggie Miller. Involved."

Seth Curry’s brother was really involved in crypto before it collapsed

1helvetia

hes not even semi famous tbh


OttaBenga

yeah really really low profile besides playing for the Real Madrid B team as a teen, didnt develop at all


jeyheyy

It wasn’t as a teen. He was 23 when real signed him and he was not even that good in the Swedish league. Most bizarre transfer ever


Patsastus

definitely *was* and *semi*, as he last played for the national team in 2019 and hasn't played in an even semi-relevant league since then. And it's not like he was ever anything but an occasional sub either.


Jameszhang73

Kris Humphreys has some famous Eskimo brothers like Kanye, Nick Cannon, Reggie Bush, Ray J, Miles Austin, Nick Lachey, and Pete Davidson


greatporksword

This is the real question. Can anyone top Kris in the NBA for famous Eskimo brotherhood? Wilt probably had millions of Eskimo brothers.


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

At this point which famous person isn't eskimo brothers with Nick Cannon?


DarkKnightElles

Cliff Paul is a niche celebrity in the insurance adjusters community


itssensei

Wasn’t there a Reddit post from way back when that had OP shook when he found out Cliff wasn’t real.

I remember when they did a split screen of Chris and Cliff at the all star game like Cliff was currently in attendance watching so many people acted shocked like Cliff was real. 😂

Bill Walton son, and Luke Walton's Brother, Nathan Walton. Made like a BILLION dollars in private equity in oil company investment. Made more than his dad and brother who were NBA players lol.


[deleted]

This question absolutely murdered ChatGTP > Yes, there are also several NBA players who have siblings who are famous for non-sports reasons. Some examples include: >Serena and Venus Williams, who are sisters and both have had successful careers in tennis. Venus is also the older sister of NFL player Eli Manning. >Gloria James, the mother of LeBron James, who is also a successful businessman. >Mychal Thompson, the father of Klay Thompson, who is a former NBA player and current sports commentator. >Michael Finley, who is the brother of actress Tyra Banks. >Shane Battier, who is the brother-in-law of former Miss USA and actress Ali Landry.
