The Los Angeles Clippers had a front-row seat as they watched their heated rivals Los Angeles Lakers receive their 2020 championship rings at the Staples Center on Tuesday. While it's understandable that Clippers players were pretty peeved before tip-off of their season opener, it was the complete opposite for Marcus Morris. The Clippers forward was pretty hyped up as he watched his twin brother, Lakers forward Markieff Morris, received his first NBA championship ring.
Marcus even brought out his phone and documented the whole thing, as he raised his arm up in support of his twin. Now that's what you call sibling goals right there.
Marcus Morris hypes up brother Markieff as he gets his ring. Now THAT's brotherhood. https://t.co/1KVsIzFK4N

Markieff's daughter was also pretty pumped up seeing his daddy get his ring.

Being fraternal twins who are both in the league, Marcus and Markieff Morris are practically each other's best friends for the rest of their lives. Apart from having a similar face, they also share identical tattoos and even use one bank account. While they no longer wear the same uniform, the Morris brothers couldn't be any happier playing in Los Angeles, albeit with different teams.
The Lakers and Clippers will always have that crosstown rivalry going on, but blood will always be thicker than water for these two.
Markieff Morris, meanwhile, re-signed with the Lakers on a one-year minimum salary following his solid run with the team in their championship run. The same goes for Marcus Morris, who returned to the Clippers fold this offseason on a more lucrative deal. The NBA is truly one big family affair, and it's nice to see these brothers still looking out for each other's interests.
