Narnia’s Mr. Tumnus and Los Angeles Lakers Center/Forward Pau Gasol
Pau Gasol is possibly the most versatile big man in the NBA. The problem is, however, that I’m beginning to wonder if he has Mr. Tumnus’ heart. Regardless, he has his style.
Comedian Russell Brand and Houston Rockets Forward Luis Scola
Scola’s game is every bit as unorthodox as Russell’s “Brand” of comedy. Besides, I think they even have the same tailor. The Johnny Cash look. Nice call, fellas.
Grandpa LeBron, aka Wise LeBron, and Portland Trailblazers Center Greg Oden
Grandpa LeBron might have the gray hair thing going on, but otherwise these two are twinkies. On second thought, Grandpa LBJ’s face might not look old enough.
Comedian Owen Smith and Atlanta Hawks Guard Flip Murray
I’m not sure what’s more funny — Murray’s defense or Smith’s comedy? I’m gonna go with Flip’s D. Watching videos on Smith’s MySpace page damn near put me to sleep. I’m an insomniac.
Singer/Woman Abuser Chris Brown and Los Angeles Lakers Guard Shannon Brown
Shannon needs to keep hitting (his shots), while Chris needs to stop hitting (women). Speaking of hitting, what happened with Shannon’s teammate (Andrew Bynum) and Chris’ girl (Rihanna)?
Prison Break’s Wentworth Miller and Cleveland Cavs Swingman Sasha Pavlovic
Both are trying to break out; Miller’s character out of the real prison, Sasha out of Mike Brown’s. I think Miller has been much more successful with his attempts.
Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell and Dallas Mavs Guard Jason Kidd
At this point in their careers, I’m pretty sure Purcell has the quicker feet. He runs away from guards all day, while guards run away from Kidd all day.
Rapper/Actor Ludacris and Philadelphia Sixers Forward Donyell Marshall
This one used to be an uncontested lay-up. Now it’s a Dwyane Wade flailing flip shot. Thanks for getting fatter than one of Luda’s spliffs, Donyell.
Toyota Logo and Houston Rockets Logo
Talk about selling out. The Toyota Center opened and immediately the Rockets had an eerily similar logo. They also adopted Toyota’s colors of red and silver. Coincidence? Sure.
Denver Nuggets Forward Kenyon Martin and Rapper/Actor Method Man
Both of their brains have gone up in smoke. Meth smoked himself retarded, while Stuttering Stanley was just born with a touch of Down’s. Bring the Pain? Just ask K-Mart to read out loud.
Chicago Bulls Guard Ben Gordon and Comedian Charlie Murphy
Gordon is a homeless, pissing-on-himself-under-a-bridge Michael Jordan; Charlie Murphy is a homeless, pissing-on-himself-under-a-bridge Eddie Murphy.
Rapper/Actor Sticky Fingaz and Portland Trailblazers Forward Travis Outlaw
I think Sticky Fingaz has enjoyed the better career so far. Hey, The Wire gave us a better series than Blazers-Rockets, and at least he was a full-time starter for Onyx.
Miami Heat Center/Forward Jermaine O’Neal and Seattle Mariners DH/Left Fielder Ken Griffey Jr.
Lots in common here. Same face. Same Expressions. Long playing careers. Both are philanthropists. And both get hurt more than Samuel L. Jackson did in Unbreakable.
Crazy Dresser Guy Fonzworth Bentley and Houston Rockets Guard Aaron Brooks
Somewhere, Craig Sager feels these two clowns breathing down his neck. He knows he has to step his game up. I think he can do it, don’t you?
Atlanta Hawks Guard Mike Bibby and Tabloid Sensation Bat Boy
Lots of Mini Me requests for Henry Bibby’s boy, but I think he looks like The Weekly World News‘ reoccurring character. File down Bibby’s teeth and you have an identical pair.
Rapper/Actor 50 Cent and Detroit Pistons Guard Rodney Stuckey
Stuckey could be Fitty’s stunt double. His crew is even like G-Unit; they aren’t half as “bad” as they think they are. Nowadays, anyway.
Rapper/Actor T.I. and Orlando Magic Forward Rashard Lewis
T.I.’s scrawny ass won’t be King in the pen. He’ll cry like he was Lewis back on his draft day. Meanwhile, Lewis has a sick Paper Trail of his own. It leads to his bank account.
Chicago Cubs Third Baseman Aramis Ramirez and Utah Jazz Guard Deron Williams
Who cares if the Cubs haven’t won it in 100 years. That’s better than Utah, where polygamy was not only common but also encouraged just a little over 100 years ago. Now it’s just not encouraged.
Wizard Prodigy Harry Potter and Chicago Bulls Guard Kirk Hinrich
Back at Kansas, Hinrich frequently heard chants of “Harry Potter” during Big 12 road games. With the Harry Potter series still rolling, shouldn’t Eastern Conference rivals revive that chant?
Utah Jazz Foward Andrei Kirilenko and Actor Dolph “Drago” Lundgren
If AK-47 had Manny Ramirez’s doctor, he’d look just like Dolph. And with a big role in buddy Sly Stallone’s upcoming The Expendables, Dolph’s career might be in better shape. Ouch.
