Anyone \u201clucky\u201d enough to have a brother or sister or multiples of both certainly knows what sibling rivalry is.\u00a0 It is defined as a competition or animosity among your siblings.\u00a0 It starts according to studies at the age of one when children become sensitive to the way they perceive their parental treatment.\u00a0 It is also affected by personality and experiences outside the family.<\/p>\n

I grew up with an older brother and two younger sisters.\u00a0 My brother was not very kind to me.\u00a0 He often thought of things that I felt he should get punished for, but he did not.\u00a0 I remember him throwing darts in my leg instead of handing them back to me.\u00a0 I remember my parents telling us to settle arguments by putting the boxing gloves on.\u00a0 He was six years older than me!\u00a0 Had we used the stat chart they use on TV for boxing, you would see that he weighed more, had a longer reach, a powerful punch, and a mean streak.\u00a0 I thought this showed very bad parenting skills.<\/p>\n

I suppose my sisters would tell you that I was not always kind to them either.\u00a0 I would scare my one sister as often as I could and my brother and I used to tell my youngest sister she was adopted.\u00a0 We thought it was very funny.\u00a0 They had a different opinion.\u00a0 And, because they were girls, I always felt \u201cMom loved them best\u201d.<\/p>\n

Happily, as we get older, siblings tend to become a bit more understanding and relish the relationships with their brothers and sisters.\u00a0 Although, according to statistics, about one-third of adults describe their relationship with siblings as distant and still thought of as a rivalry.<\/p>\n

I bring this up for two reasons: 1) I am actually watching the NBA<\/a> playoffs.\u00a0 I guess the Sixers<\/a> are responsible, but I find I am enjoying the games.\u00a0 2) Steph Curry and Seth Curry will be playing against each other in the NBA Western Conference Finals.\u00a0 It is the first time in NBA history that two brothers will play against each other in a conference or NBA final.<\/p>\n

Their parents, Dell Curry and Sonya Curry, will be in the position of rooting for no one or rooting for everyone.\u00a0 They need to be careful not to favor one or the other.\u00a0 Both brothers said their mother gets very stressed out when they play each other.\u00a0 But both are very supportive having traveled to Oakland, Portland, Los Angeles, Houston, and Denver. They have missed just two games.\u00a0 Mom says one parent will wear Blazers<\/a> colors and the other will wear the Warriors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two have played against each other nine times and Steph has won seven, but both losses came this year. This is sibling rivalry at its best \u2013 nothing like catching darts!<\/p>\n

ABOVE THE EARS (SOME MUSINGS)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Speaking of the NBA, Lehigh University<\/a>\u2019s CJ McCollum is the hero for the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> as he scored 37 points and had nine rebounds in the Game 7 win over the Denver Nuggets<\/a>. He also had a huge block to stop a layup late in the fourth quarter.\u00a0 Now they take on the Warriors in the conference finals.\u00a0 It\u2019s the first time for the Blazers in 12 years.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. The Sixers were eliminated on an unbelievable shot at the buzzer by Kawhi Leonard. I find this hard to believe but it was the first Game 7 buzzer-beater in NBA history.\u00a0 The game was really lost when, in the final three minutes, the Sixers were called for three shot clock violations.\u00a0 Three straight possessions by the Sixers ended without a shot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. After poor starts, the Red Sox<\/a> and the Cubs<\/a> have rebounded dramatically to win as expected. The Cubs are 24-14 as of Monday morning after a 2-7 start.\u00a0 And the Red Sox started 6-13 only to be at 22-19 now.\u00a0 \u201cThe cream rises\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Aaron Rodgers was in this past Sunday\u2019s episode of Game of Thrones<\/em><\/a>. He has been a fan since day one and shot a promo for the show.\u00a0 He was hoping to be killed off or be in a steamy scene.\u00a0 Neither happened.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. The Eagles<\/a> signed a fourth quarterback this week. Cody Kessler, who has been with the Browns<\/a> and the Jaguars<\/a>, joins Nate Sudfeld, Clayton Thorson, and Carson Wentz on the roster.\u00a0 It makes you wonder if there is even a greater concern about Wentz\u2019s health and stamina.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
