Basketball brothers Jordan and Patrick Whelan love their sport but each time they hit the court they are playing for something more.
The pair will soon be competing on opposite teams when Manchester Giants take on Leicester Riders in the final of the BBL (British Basketball League) Cup, but it’s a tragedy when they were both children that is, and always will be, on their minds ahead of the showpiece event.
Both Jordan and Patrick had an older brother, Daniel, who tragically passed away when Patrick was around 11 and Jordan was 14.
