Markus and Jordan Howard Are the Real Splash Brothers

Three brothers who play basketball, two of whom have put up eye-popping numbers. A former football-playing dad who helps them train.

No, they're not even remotely affiliated with Big Baller Brand, but the Howard family, college basketball's newest dynasty, can sort of see the resemblance.

"With all the attention we've been getting recently, there have been a lot of comparisons," said Jordan Howard, a 22-year-old senior point guard at the University of Central Arkansas. "Some people call us 'the real Ball brothers,' but we just prefer to be the Howards."

"My family's not all extra like they are; we're pretty chill," added Markus Howard, an 18-year-old sophomore point guard at Marquette.
