Having won four out of the last five games, the Golden State Warriors have upped themselves into a ‘prelude to the playoffs’ mode. The Dub Nation now expects the reigning champions to make a triumphant playoff run and go for the glory once again. Fuelling the optimistic sentiment among the fans, Stephen Curry and co. pulled off a sublime comeback in their last game, against the New Orleans Pelicans. Apart from the side’s flamboyant performances and playoff prospects, the fans are now also going gaga over a Warriors star and his brother.
Jonathan Kuminga played a crucial part in their epic comeback against the Pelicans. The 20-year-old took to Twitter to celebrate the hard-earned victory and garnered praise from the Dub Nation. Now, Kuminga has again rendered the fans flabbergasted with a picture of his younger brother.
Jonathan Kuminga continues to surprise the NBA fans
Jonathan Kuminga comes from a family of basketball enthusiasts and players. The Warriors star’s elder brother is a college basketball player and two of his cousins also play professional basketball.

Alex’s picture with his brother has now gone viral on the internet, eliciting a myriad of reactions from fans.
