Gorjok (Brisbane Bullets) and Akoldah (Illawarra Hawks) competed against each other twice in the past week. On Monday in Wollongong the borther's played in front of their Mum, sisters and cousin.
"I haven't played in front of my family for 7-8 years so it's nice to have my mum there and sisters. A really great experience," Gorjok said.
Gorjok was born in Egypt after his parents fled South Sudan. The family then migrated to Australia when he was young. "My Mum, Dad, nobody sacrifices more than them."
