Last offseason, the Sacramento Kings agreed to terms with and then signed Seth Curry, the younger brother of reigning NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Stephen Curry<\/a>. The deal was worth $2 million for two years and included a player option for the second year (which he declined), and after impressing folks with a solid string of play in April, he managed to sign a similar deal with the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the Kings didn't officially adding the Currys to the list of brothers who have played in league (Seth already had four career games under his belt), they did bring the brothers the closest they\u2019ve been since they were both a part of the Golden State organization (Seth, however, was unable to get called up from the Warriors D-League affiliate).<\/p>\n

On the surface, the gulf between the two Currys is about as large as the one between their two respective teams \u2014 Stephen, in addition to being the reigning MVP, is the leader of an NBA Championship team, while Seth is a veteran of 10-day contracts and went from a team whose biggest recent headlines involved a bitter dispute<\/a> between head coach George Karl and star player DeMarcus Cousins (and owner Vivek Ranadive) and repeated swings and misses<\/a> in attempts to land high profile players with their cap room (though they eventually did<\/i> land Rajon Rondo) to a team that's trying to ride out the end of Dirk Nowitzki's career with some dignity.<\/p>\n

That being said, the Currys are hardly the first pair of NBA brothers to be a little imbalanced in the skills department. It\u2019s also worth mentioning that having played at Duke and just being an NBA player at all means that Seth Curry is better at the game than about 99.9% of the people on this planet.<\/p>\n

Still, no one is going to confuse these guys with the Gasols. To that end, it\u2019s fun take a look at some examples of unequally distributed superstar talent. Including Steph and Seth, here are five of the most prominent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Stephen and Seth Curry<\/h2>\n

During the Warriors\u2019 breakout, runaway 2015 Championship season, casual fans were introduced to their ringleader, sharpshooter Stephen Curry, whose combination of unreal ball-handling skills<\/a> and silky smooth touch<\/a> from beyond the arc work together to make him virtually impossible to guard.<\/p>\n

Truth be told, though, he\u2019s been a three-time All-Star and All-NBA performer, as well as the nation\u2019s leading scorer in Division 1 basketball during the 2008-2009 season when he was at Davidson. To date, he has career averages of 20.9 points and 6.9 assists per game, as well as 44% and 47.1% marks on three-point field goals and overall field goals, respectively.<\/p>\n

Seth, to his credit, was a First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) performer at college powerhouse Duke and in six games for the New Orleans Pelicans\u2019 Summer League team, led the whole\u00a0league in scoring with 24.3 points per game. At least for this summer, the newest King has already shown he can occasionally play like royalty.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Blake and Taylor Griffin<\/h2>\n

Non-sports fans\u00a0are\u00a0still likely to recognize the telegenic Blake Griffin as \u201cthat guy from the Kia commercials.” As charismatic, entertaining, and aerodynamic as the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest Champion<\/a> is, he\u2019s also a tremendously complete player and bona fide superstar who has been a five-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA performer, Rookie of the Year, and National College Player of the Year in 2008-2009 while at Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

With career averages of 21.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, Blake has been a dominant force in the low post for the Clippers since entering the league in 2010, more than justifying his status as the No. 1 overall pick in the draft that year.<\/p>\n

His older brother Taylor, after being selected in the second-round by the Phoenix Suns in 2009 and subsequently appearing in eight games for them that year (averaging 1.3 points), is currently toiling away in the D-League. Whether or not he makes it back to the NBA, he\u2019ll always have this moment<\/a> to hang onto.<\/p>\n

3. Mark and Brent Price<\/h2>\n
