There's been quite a few I believe. I'm going with the Manning Eli and Peyton. They played against each other twice with Peyton winning both times. OFC

My younger brother and me. We beat the snot out of each other in the wrestling room on the daily. And no offense to the Manning’s and the Curry’s, but we’re a little more high profile than them.

The Upton brothers.....actually played on the same team in Atlanta and hit back to back homeruns to win a game. I’m sure they have also played against each other

What I would like if possible is to know how this siblings did in head to head comp. For example the Williams sisters played against each other 30 times with Serena coming out on top 18-12. Bobby Allison had 84 career wins while Donnie had 10 .OFC

Rivalries - They played together at Duke

True they played together at Duke but the title of the thread is “sibling rivalries in sports” and we all know there was/is probably a sibling rivalry between them even if they played together at Duke. I don’t watch much NBA but I’d be surprised if they haven’t played against each other in the NBA at some point.

Bret and Owen Hart. They had an awesome opening match at one of the Wrestlemania's.

Continuing on meisperplexed segue, for professional wrestling- and go ahead, tell some of those guys its not a sport to their face. Btw, wrestiling is the "oldest sport known to man," with references even in The Bible....

Jerry Brisco (former NWA JR CHAMP) and perhaps the greatest amateur wrestler turned pro ever, the incomparable, former world champ brotherJack Brisco. Proud to say I met BOTH MEN-super guys!

Also the Funk Brothers, Dory Jr (fmr world champ), and his brother and also ex world titleholder Terry Funk.

Meisperplexed makes great point w/Hart brothers. Sadly we lost Owen in a tragic ring accident years ago....

Identical twins with almost identical stats. Crazy. Here are their numbers from IU:

1963
Tom: 12.5 ppg, 9.3 reb
Dick: 12.2 ppg, 8.9 reb

1964
Tom: 21.3 ppg, 12.3 reb
Dick: 22.3 ppg, 12.4 reb

1965
Tom: 18.4 ppg, 8.5 reb
Dick: 17.2 ppg, 8.7 reb

Both played 12 years in the NBA. Both 3-time all-stars. One played 929 games, the other 921.
