I love basketball videos about twin brothers: Horace and Harvey Grant, Marcus and Markieff Morris, Brook and Robin Lopez, Jason and Jarron Collins, even Aaron and Andrew Harrison (mainly because they played high school ball a few minutes from my house). So last year, when I came across this video (make sure you at least go to the 1:56 mark) of the Marcelino twins, Jaycee and Jayvee, I was interested and hoping to hear more about the 21-year-old "future PBA stars" of the Lyceum Pirates.
This past weekend, the 5-9 twins played in the NCAA Season 94 All-Star Game and made some international news by teaming up for a dunk that went viral and led to a pretty amusing comment from Amir Johnson to his former Boston Celtic teammate, Isaiah Thomas.
"I got you if we ever play together again..lol." Said Johnson via B/R

Although the 5-9 IT has never thrown down a dunk during a NBA game, he has some pretty impressive hops and even won a dunk contest in college.
Back to the twins, besides throwing down the dunk of the game with a little assist from Jayvee, Jaycee also finished the game with a team-high 15 points. Their team didn't get the win but they were definitely the winners of the game.
