Frank and Anthony Drmic
Grant and Robbie Cadee - brothers or cousins?
Peter and Mark Gaze I think were brothers
Brett and Jason Wheeler
Rick and Adrian Hodges
Luc and Griffin Longley
the Pennisi brothers - I forget their first names
was David Smyth Phil's brother or a cousin?
did Stephen Whitehead have a brother who played NBL at Melbourne with him at some stage?
and I vaguely recall a set of brothers playing for Hobart Tassie Devils in the 1980s - Stanwix?
were Graeme and Chris Anstey brothers? IIRC they both came from Ballarat?

thinking about this made me realise there are a few father son combinations who've played NBL as well. I wonder if we've had a grandfather-father-son combo yet? I don't think so but that'd be something.

There're also a few brother-sister combos across NBL-WNBL.

Mike and Dave Pennisi I think.

Yes- David & Phil Smyth

Shane Heal and Michelle Timms??

Ben and Jeff Dowdell (did Ben ever actually play NBL, or did he go straight from college to AFL?)
Michael and Chris Cedar

Stuart and Tim Adams played Westside Melbourne I think.

Aron and Callum Baynes
Daryl and William McDowellWhite
Cameron and Jarrod Bairstow
Tobias and Flynn Cameron

Brad and Sam McKinnon
Rod and Michael Johnson
Aaron and Shaun Bruce
Jack and Ben Madgen

* meant Craig Adams not Tim.
Isaac and Daniel Fotu.

Melvin & Charles Thomas <=== pretty sure that isn't right.

Sam and Tom Daly.

Wheeler- Jason and Brett
Cedar- Chris and Michael
Dalton- Brad, Mark & Karen
Brogan- Michelle and Dean
Bairstow- Cameron and Stephanie



Can we count:
Maker- Thon and Matur???

This tops it all: Darryl McDonald and his son Derrick played together at the Tigers even spending a few minutes of an NBL game together on court. It was a shame junior blew the alleyoop pass from dad. What a great moment regardless.

and I vaguely recall a set of brothers playing for Hobart Tassie Devils in the 1980s - Stanwix?

Weren't there Ruscoe brothers who played NZ NBL long ago? Matt and ???

And I agree that Stan Hill had better skills than Steven Adams

There was also an Opal with a brother who experienced a learning disability. Their parents didn't realise that there was such an opportunity for him. The selectors/coaches of the men’s team took an immediate interest in him.

My recollection is a bit sketchy, but I think he would have been selected for Barcelona Paralympics (1996). I think he was Vic based, so I never met him.

Juris and Mikelis Dancis OLY(56/60) and (64/68)

Mark and Stephen Whitehead

Are there two Ng brothers who both played for the 36ers? One became a Doctor?

The Cecins brothers from Perth in the early 80S. Eddie? and ?

Darren Ng and Marcus(?) Ng - not sure whether Marcus played NBL or not

Ian and Bruce Andrews.

Ian played for Sydney Bruce for Illawarra.

"As far as I know Sam and brad aren't related."

And I don't think they even have the same spelling of last name.

Sam Mackinnon and Brad Mckinnon from memory?

"Mark and Stephen Whitehead"

Mark didn't get much of a chance to play but was a better athlete than his brother. Stephen was just better at everything else

did we all miss Shawn and Arron Bruce....

"This tops it all: Darryl McDonald and his son Derrick played together at the Tigers even spending a few minutes of an NBL game together on court. It was a shame junior blew the alleyoop pass from dad. What a great moment regardless."


That was one of the most memorable failed plays in Tigers history (the other being Warrick Giddey missing a 3 right at the end of 97 Grand final). Wish it had have connected.


Derrick plays with the Tigers NBL1 team at the moment which is good to see
