Asia Durr’s brother, Christian Durr, never backed down when it came to challenging his younger sister. The sibling rivalry remained intact on and off the basketball court.

In an interview with The Players Tribune, Asia talked about that one time their brother was talking so much smack that they had to reply by dunking on his head.

The dunk didn’t change the tight bond the sibling duo has for each other. Through practicing with their brother, Asia kept on upgrading her skills.
