No, just Italian twins who grew up playing for Hack U (oops, I mean Cliff Avenue). Actually, all twins are simultaneously best friends and worst enemies. Not just speaking from family experience here.
Nope definitely not twins, definitely Croat with maybe some Italian sprinkled in (but who isn't) but can understand the mistake since the rubber rehab band was continuously connecting the two. It was like an umbeliical cord that wasn't severed, perhaps explaining the Italian connotation?
