Marcus and Markieff Morris were both born on September 2nd, 1989, played college basketball together at the University of Kansas and were drafted into the NBA 7 mins behind each other. To say the pair is close would be a gross understatement. The twins both played for the Suns for a brief stretch but currently play on the Celtics and Wizards, both of whom are in the playoff hunt in the Eastern Conference. But the pair also has a lot going on away from the game that’s just as interesting:

1. The Twins aren’t identical but having matching tattoos all over.

2. When the pair signed with the Suns, Phoenix gave the brothers $52 Million dollars and let them decide who got paid how much. Why? Because the brothers share a bank account and all of the money was going to the same place.

3. Marcus and Markieff recently were acquitted from an aggravated assault charge stemming from 2015 when a man claimed the twins beat him up for texting their mother
