Get this - two brothers are chasing one of the coolest achievements in sports. Landon and Sebastien Emenalo want to become the first siblings playing in the Premier League and NBA at the same time.
Sound familiar? Their dad Michael spent years at Chelsea as both a coach and executive. So yeah, football royalty runs in the family.
Landon, 18, is following his father's path at Stamford Bridge. The Arizona-born teenager plays left-back, just like his dad did for Nigeria at the 1994 World Cup. But don't think he's riding on daddy's coattails.
The young defender has trained with Chelsea's first team under Enzo Maresca, Liam Rosenior, and even Mauricio Pochettino. He's made the matchday squad against Liverpool and Pafos this season. Last year, he was on the bench for Conference League quarter-finals.
Here's what makes it impressive - Landon regularly plays for Chelsea's Under-21s, three years above his age group. Chelsea clearly believe in him too. They just gave him a five-year contract extension running until 2031.
International Tug of War Brewing
Things get interesting with Landon's international future. He's earned five England caps at Under-18 level. He also played three times for the United States' Under-17s.
And there's a third option - Nigeria, where his father won 14 caps in the 1990s. For punters watching England youth prospects, Landon's one to keep on your radar as he develops.
"My goal is to play senior football for Chelsea and I'm doing everything I can to get there," Landon said last season. With Chelsea's recent track record of promoting youth, those odds might be shorter than you think.
Big Brother's Basketball Dreams
Now here's where it gets wild. While Landon stands at 5ft 11in, his older brother Sebastien towers at 6ft 7in. Seb, 19, ditched football for basketball as a kid.
He played goalkeeper initially (no surprise given his height), but fell in love with basketball watching LeBron James in the 2017 NBA Finals. Smart move, honestly.
Sebastien's journey took him from Surrey Rams academy basketball to Romania, then to the NBA Academy in Canberra, Australia. Now he's playing Division 1 basketball at Loyola.
This season, he's averaging 3.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 14.5 minutes per game across 31 appearances. He's still developing, but Loyola has produced NBA players like Santi Aldama and Cam Spencer recently.
Both parents bring sporting pedigree. Their mother Erin was a goalkeeper who earned All-American honors at the University of Portland. She even played for the Washington Freedom, America's first professional women's soccer team.
Michael now works as director of football for the Saudi Pro League. He and Erin will be watching closely as their boys chase sporting history in the Premier League and NBA.
