Marcus Morris Sr: Double Trouble
Marcus Morris Sr. has made a respectable career for himself. He's a journeyman veteran whose 3 and D skills and physicality routinely land him on the radar of playoff teams.
He may be more well known, though, as the identical twin of fellow professional basketball player Markieff Morris. The two have enjoyed lengthy NBA careers and even shared a locker room at the sport's highest level with the Phoenix Suns. There, they paired with Goran and Zoran Dragić to be the first pair of brothers to be on the court at the same time.
Four players. Two mothers. Weird.
Morris recalls times in which having a twin was beneficial, like in school. He and his brother shared the same classes. If one had a test early in the day, he would circle back around later to take the same exam, this time under a slightly different name. It's a system that worked well. Eventually, their need for academic dishonesty disintegrated, but not before an awesome story was born.
