Top sibling groups in sports

My favorite examples so far, in no particular order:

• The Klitschkos of boxing -- the two best boxers in a long time (if you don't adjust for weight), it would seem
• The Millers of basketball -- two HOFers
• The Heidens of skating & cycling -- he's one of the all-time greats, her accomplishments are pretty unique
• The Espositos of hockey -- two HOFers
• The Williamses of tennis -- two of the best ever, and their doubles team may be the very best ever

Scott and Rob Niedermayer. Scott was one of the best defencemen in hockey of his generation, and he'll be a first-ballot HOF. I think he's won 4 Stanley Cups and an Olympic Gold medal. Rob Niedermayer was a very good, defensive forward, and he won a Stanley Cup with Scott when they were both members of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.

Vernon and Vontae Davis of the NFL, although Vernon has had the more distinguished career.

On what scale...likelihood of being dead before their 35th birthday?

edit - as an aside, someone should really make a movie about that family...a real American tragedy from beginning to end...

Val d'Isere's village people weren't restricted to male stars -- the Goitschel sisters, Marielle and Christine, were also big names during the 1960s.

Both took home a gold medal at the 1964 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck, while Marielle won a further seven titles at various world championship events.

For a time, they were considered the best female skiers in the world and further enhanced the reputation of their village.
