Personal life

[edit]

The twin brothers were always comfortable when they are in reach of the other.[10] Weathers' father played college basketball for the Drake Bulldogs.[10] Their father, Michael Sr., died from an enlarged heart when they were 5 years old. They have fond memories of him making them breakfast and taking them to the park.[1]
