Levi Norwood is following in his brother Jordan's footsteps at Penn State. Taran Buie will be playing with brother Talor Battle at the BJC soon enough. And on the national scale, Taylor and Blake Griffin were drafted a week ago and Serena and Venus Williams will clash at the Wimbledon final on Saturday.

I don't know about you folks, but I can definitely feel the sibling love in the air. (It might also be because my youngest brother celebrates his fourth birthday Friday, but bear with me ... And Joe, if you're still around in 2023 and need a kicker, Vince Fortuna has displayed some mean upside with his right leg. My swollen shins can attest to that.)

Without further ado, I bring to you the Top 5 active brothers (and sisters) in the world of sports.

5. Taylor and Blake Griffin, NBA
It was a happy night for the Griffin family last Thursday at the NBA Draft. Before Taylor was taken at No. 48 by the Suns, Blake became the second No. 1 pick in the family, as he was chosen to save that other LA franchise (bless his heart). The first? Taylor actually had his name called three days earlier as the No. 1 pick of the lovable Harlem Globetrotters. Something tells me these two will move up this list in the near future.

4. Brook and Robin Lopez, NBA
These twins were picked at No. 10 and No. 15, respectively, during last year's NBA Draft after stellar two-year careers at Stanford, which included a run to the Sweet 16 in 2008. Brook had the better rookie year, averaging 13 points and 8.1 rebounds per game for the Nets, but Phoenix's Robin wins the ever important category of best hair.

3. Bengie, Jose and Yadier Molina, MLB
There's something to be said for one family sending three kids to the Show. Not only that, the trio can collectively call themselves World Series champions. San Francisco's Bengie has had the most decorated career of the three, carrying a lifetime .276 average to go with his back-to-back Gold Gloves in 2002 and 2003. He and Jose won the 2002 World Series with the Anah...er, L.A. Angels (of Anaheim). Yadier may very well be the most promising of all, hitting .279 in his sixth season with the Cardinals. His two-run, ninth-inning homer against the Mets in Game 7 of the 2006 ALCS sent St. Louis to the World Series, where they topped Detroit in five.

2. Peyton and Eli Manning, NFL
When all is said and done, Peyton will likely be atop all the major NFL passing records. (Assuming, of course, that Brett Favre officially retires someday.) The reigning MVP is a three-time winner of the league's highest individual honor, and he cemented his legacy by being named the MVP of the Colts' Super Bowl XLI triumph over the Bears. One year later, baby bro Eli led the Giants to a last-second upset over the previously undefeated Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Manning the younger also collected the game's MVP award. What are the odds of brothers winning back-to-back Super Bowl MVP awards?

1. Venus and Serena Williams, tennis
... probably similar to the the odds of sisters winning 17 majors in tennis. Come Independence Day, these two will have combined for 18 Grand Slam titles. Eighteen! Not only that, they will have met eight times in a Grand Slam final. Venus will look to cut into lil sis' 10-7 lead in major titles Saturday.
