Brothers in NTs

[rikhardur]

They have only the same surname... There are no any family relations between them.

So do you mean I've been wrong all these years?

[insider]

Mantas and Julius Kalnietis? Maybe in very far future...

Julius has no chances at all, nothing special atall, and very soft character.

So do you mean I've been wrong all these years?

oh yes my friend. zukauskas is like in top 10 surnames in lithuania. Eurelijus is from Klaipeda, Midaugas is from Siauliai. Midaugas played basketball whole his life, while Eurelijus was noticed (because of his height of course) by some basketball coach on the street when he was 17 yrs old or so...

One question, did the late Fernando Martin ever played with his brother Antonio on the NT?

I'm not sure, but I think they didn't. When Antonio joined the NT, Fernando was or had been in the NBA, so he couldn't play with the NT.

Damn Glad I'm not the only one, I heard it said by qualified journalists

[Jmaquaes]

I think you are right Genjuro. They never played together in the NT

Did Reyes brothers ever play together in NT?

[ziv]

Alfonso and Felipe Reyes

btw - i mentinoed the fact that the gasol's play with Gasol and Marc on their jerseys but felipe, eventhough his brother doesn't play for the NT anymore has F. Reyes written on his one - i guess he does that to honour his brother.

What I really LOVE is the British expertise on basketball!!!

The article is about Šarūnas Jasikevičius, while the photo belongs to Vytenis Jasikevičius

Oh, those gentlemen from the isles of cricket!

Felicisimo Fajardo and Gabby Fajardo of the Philippines - played for the national team in the 1940s (1948 London Olympics)

Florent and Mickael Pietrus, but not this year

In France, we had as well in the past the Beugnot brothers (Eric and Greg) during the 80s, and the Gadou brothers (Didier and Thierry, who both played in Pau-Orthez) during the 90s.

Did Reyes brothers ever play together in NT?

Yes they did. They shared team from 2001 to 2003.

By the way, I think Varejao has an older brother who played for Brazil, and I think they might have shared team a few years back, when Anderson started to play with the senior team.

It's a myth! In fact he was at basketball school from start till the end. Then he finished school he started working as construction worker, but his (and Stombergas') coach brought him to Neptunas

Damn Glad I'm not the only one, I heard it said by qualified journalists

I first heard it on Lithuanian state radio in 1996 1998 or 2000

[Worrax]

Russia...

Zakhar Pashutin (as a player) and Evgeny Pashutin (as an asistant coach if i'm not wrong).
