Where do Trayce and Klay Thompson rank among the active sibling sets in pro sports? They deserve some extra credit for playing different sports (Trayce with Major League Baseball’s White Sox and Klay with the NBA champion Golden State Warriors), but they haven’t accomplished enough – yet – to crack our top five brother/sister acts.
1. Venus and Serena Williams. With 28 Grand Slam singles titles between them (21 by little sister Serena), they have dominated tennis for more than a decade.
2. Peyton and Eli Manning. Peyton has five MVP awards but you can bet he’d trade them all for another Super Bowl title to match little bro Eli’s pair of rings.
3. Kyle and Kurt Busch. Here’s another case where the younger sibling has surpassed the older: Kyle (age 30) has 30 Sprint Cup victories to 27 for Kurt (age 37).
4. Pau and Marc Gasol. The brothers tipped off against each other as NBA All-Star centers last season. Older brother Pau has two NBA titles to zero for Marc.
5. Justin and Melvin Upton. Paired up in Padres outfield this season, younger brother Justin leads club in HR while older brother Melvin (formerly B.J.) has battled injuries.
