4, three groups of NBA brothers who have the highest achievements
The Gasol brothers have retired and their achievements have been finalized. The Curry brothers are still at their peak, and their achievements are not yet fully finalized. Ball three brothers, two goals is the real two goals, it is estimated that there will not be much higher achievement in the NBA. Brother Qiu and Brother Qiu are still very young and have a bright future. Here combined with the above analysis, let's make a simple ranking!
Personally, the highest achievement should be Stephen Curry, the big and small Gasol brothers have retired, and the achievements achieved by the two are not as high as Stephen Curry alone. The ball brother and the ball brother are still in the early stages of their careers, and there is no limit, but it is estimated that it is difficult for the brothers to catch up with Stephen Curry, because Stephen Curry is an epoch-making player, and his historical status so far is comparable to that of old Joe and old Zhan. The future achievements of the ball brother and the ball brother may be compared with the Gasol brothers, but the premise is that they must get the championship, because the big and small Gasol have won the championship, and won a lot of honors, the honor of the future ball brother and the ball brother will definitely take a lot, but whether they can get the championship also depends on the overall strength of the team. Of the three groups of brothers, apart from two goals, the one with the lowest achievement is probably Seth Curry.
