Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2287479, member: 2117"] I'd guess its close to 50/50, we just hear about the younger sibling more than the older one. If the younger sister is a star, you're more likely to hear about how her siblings also played collegiate/professional basketball even if they were not top rate players. Compare that to if you're the older sibling who is a star, it's rare that fans are aware have a younger sibling who is playing unless she's a high profile recruit. Perfect example of this is the Ogwumikes...they have 2 younger sisters who are nowhere near as good as Nneka/Chiney and we never hear about them. If Nneka/Chiney were younger, we'd probably hear about their older basketball siblings and how it's all in the family and what not, but instead we consistently hear about the 2 Ogwumike sisters.
