Brothers are having a professional sports moment, one that extends far beyond today’s news in Portland. Last week, the Holiday brothers made history in the National Basketball Association, with Jrue, Justin and Aaron using December 28’s meeting between the New Orleans Pelicans and Indiana Pacers to become the first trio of siblings to appear in the same game. In the National Football League, December 15’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers also featured three brothers, with Buffalo’s Tremaine Edwards on the opposite sideline from his two siblings, Trey and Terrell.
Major League Soccer may not have a Holiday or Edwards moment, but the circuit has a surprisingly long record of siblings in the league.
