Rick left their mom when they were kids...basically they grew up without a Dad...
It's weird...Rick Barry must have some a basketball genes because all of his sons turned out to be pretty good pro ball players...but he had nothing to do with teaching them the game..they all made it on their own.
And jealous probably isn't the best word to describe the sibling rivalry...it's more like they are compe ive and all want to be the best player in the family...they all want to beat each other...if you ever Brent and Jon play you'll see what I mean...they basically try to kick each others ass...the best game Brent played this season was against the Rockets when Duncan was out...he whipped the dog out of Jon in that game.
And no...I think Jon is a lot of things...but I don't think he's a nice guy...he's played for a lot of teams in his career...he's a got a real firey personality....whereas Brent is smarter I think...I like Jon's at ude but I've also seen him begin to think he was the man and start jacking up really bad shots.
I think Jon has his Dad's feisty personality(but most of Rick Barry's teamates thought he was an asshole and I've never seen anyone say they miss Jon when he leaves)...while Brent got most of his game and appearance...
BTW..Brent should get his Dad to give Duncan some FT shooting tips...
