Athlete Lookalikes
hello my dear readers, (yes, all five of you guys: drew, jason, dan, kevin and caperna) it’s been a while since i posted, and i sincerely apologize to those who eager beaverly awaited my next post. i have a legitimate excuse, though. contrary to the popular belief out there that i’m just a bum sitting at home all day playing fantasy sports and blogging, i AM still in law school, and i had 4 final exams to cram for after spending most of my class time blogging/researching/fantasy sport-ing the entire semester. (when i even went to class, that is) anyway, after pulling several all-nighters and basically living at the library for a week, i think i passed all my exams (knock on wood), and now i get to sit on my ass and play fantasy and blog for another semester. go me. okay, enough about me, moving on to something you guys would actually be interested in reading…
after i posted a picture of stephen jackson in my last post about athlete’s tattoos, my buddy jason caperna pointed out his striking resemblance to willem dafoe (the Green Goblin from Spider-Man and the gay FBI agent from Boondock Saints), and i realized there are quite a few other lookalikes out there, which led to this post. let’s see who looks like who:
1. Robert Horry and Will Smith
yes, it’s pretty obvious, but it would be a travesty to not include these two in a list of celebrity-athlete lookalikes. no matter what they do to themselves, they somehow end up looking alike still. when will smith was stick skinny in Fresh Prince of Bel Air, horry was just as skinny playing for the Rockets in the early-mid 90’s. back then, horry was an athletic high-flyer with a lean, chiseled body, but as he began to age and lost his athleticism (and got lazy), he transformed himself into a spot-up 3 point shooter. however, despite his fame as a clutch 3 point shooter, he was never a great 3 point shooter (career 34% shooter from beyond the arc), but he always made them when it mattered the most, and hence the “Big Shot Bob” nickname. anyway, as he got less and less active on the court, his body started to get bigger and slightly rounder around the edges, and there was a brief time period when horry and will smith didn’t look alike. then will smith began to bulk up and get pretty big and muscular himself, and just like that, they looked alike again, which causes me to believe that they will always and forever be the most famous and the most identical celebrity-athlete lookalike pair of all time. (their resemblance reached its peak when will smith bulked up for the movie Ali)

remember, will was just playing some bball in philly before he got into trouble and sent to bel air.
2. Al Horford and Xerxes (from 300)
i know, Xerxes is a fictional character from a movie. (well, technically, he is a historical figure who really existed, but the director of 300 made him look like a giant queer with gazillion piercings, and i’m fairly positive the real Xerxes did not look like that. or maybe he did.) whatever the real Xerxes looked like, there is no doubt that Xerxes the movie character looks a lot like al horford of the atlanta hawks. i first noticed the resemblance when i saw him and his gators annihilate my beloved bruins in the ncaa title game a few years ago. for a guy who has such a rugged, bruiser-type game, horford has some feminine facial features. he has big, sparkly, GIRLY eyes, and his dark, long eyelashes make him look like he’s wearing mascara. and also some DS… i mean, perky, pink lips… all of which makes him look like Xerxes, who looked plenty girly himself in the movie. what do you guys think?
(NOTE: I AM NOT GAY AND I DO NOT HAVE A MANCRUSH ON AL HORFORD.)
3. Bonzi Wells and Jay-Z

Jay-Z.
shawn carter’s face is slightly longer than bonzi’s, whose face is really round, but they both have gynormous nostrills and similar “faded” look. and neither of them would be a spokesperson for Bally’s Total Fitness any time soon. btw, bonzi also looks a lot like paul pierce, but pierce doesn’t look like jay-z that much. weird.
4. Boris Diaw and Pharrell
diaw looks a lot like pharrell, except he’s like 2 feet taller than him. they are similar in more ways than just their looks. pharrell doesn’t dress/look like other American rap stars. he is more european/japanese styled in terms of fashion and doesn’t have the thug-life, straight-from-the-projects image. diaw is from france, so obviously he is different from the other american basketball players in terms of both lifestyle and playing style on the court. he’s soft, doesn’t like contact and doesn’t play much D. in short, he is a “finesse” player.
5. Kurt Thomas and R. Kelly
i know their eyes look totally different, so i was actually going to use a picture of R. Kelly wearing shades to make him look even MORE like kurt thomas, but that kinda felt like cheating, so i decided to present them as they are. other than their eyes, everything else is almost identical. their face shape, jawline, goatee and even their hairline and cornrows. kurt thomas looks a little more gangsta/hood than r. kelly, but r. kelly is a R&B crooner, not a rapper, so i guess it’s all good. kurt thomas on the other hand looks like a pretty legit gangsta with his scowl and ferocity.
(interesting fact of the day: kurt thomas once led the NCAA in both scoring and rebounding in the same season at TCU. only 2 other players have accomplished such feat: xavier mcdaniel and hank gathers)
6. Stephen Jackson and Willem Dafoe
this one is actually from my boy caperna: Captain Jack is the Black Goblin. this is our first cross-race lookalike, and i like it. it is rare for two individuals of different races to look like each other, but we got a pretty damn good match in these two. this is about as close as it gets for people of different races, in my opinion. and it’s not just their physical looks/features (long face, protruding jaw… etc); they both have this “crazy” vibe that makes you think twice before pissing them off. take one more look at their menacing looks above and tell me you don’t think they look alike.
7. Donyell Marshall and Ludacris
another old favorite of mine. donyell marshall and luda. yes, luda is short, and marshall is much bigger/rounder, but both of their eyes always look like they are about to pop out, and their signature cornrows and facial hair complete the resemblance.
8. Kyle Korver and Ashton Kutcher? (nah, let’s try someone else)
the general public seems to firmly believe that kyle korver is ashton kutcher’s long lost twin brother separated at birth. i don’t understand it at ALL. yes, ashton is very tall. in fact, he’s taller than most guards in the NBA, and they both have moppy, “white boy” hair, but that’s where their similarites end. their facial features don’t anything alike, and although i’m not a big fan of mr. demi moore, he’s a good looking dude who can and SHOULD be getting hot girls left and right instead of being married to a 50-year old “product” of modern plastic surgery technology. i would be pretty annoyed if people kept comparing me to some guy who doesn’t look anything like me and is much uglier than me. plus, kyle korver sucks.
but i think korver actually DOES look a lot like this guy:
once you get over the makeup and the hair, you can see kyle korver looks a lot more like CARROT TOP than ashton kutcher. am i tripping?
9. Pat Garrity and Seann William Scott
this one is my personal favorite. pat garrity, who used to play for the orlando magic, looks a lot like my favorite actor of all time, seann william scott. don’t know who seann william scott is? try the Stifmeister/Stifler from the American Pie trilogy. (the word trilogy kinda makes it seem like some epic, Academy-winning blockbuster series like The Godfather or Lord of the Rings, but i’m using it in the literal sense, as in three movies. but then, they made so many more straight-to-DVDs sequels after the third one that technically, i can’t call it a trilogy either… okay, i’ll stop.) anyway, matthew berry of ESPN always talks about guys with two first names always being crowd pleasers, like Ryan Howard (baseball), Tony Allen (basketball), Donald Lee (football)… etc, but seann william scott has THREE first names in his name. he is the only celebrity/athlete i know that has three first names. no wonder he’s such a crowd pleaser.
10. Stan Van Gundy and Ron Jeremy
it’s so funny that stan doesn’t look anything like his actual brother jeff and looks like ron jeremy’s long lost twin. they are both fat and have the pornstar ’stache, crazy double chin and receding hairline. there’s only one part of ron jeremy’s body that you would actually WANT to resemble, and it certainly isn’t his face. sucks for stan.
11. Nick Young and Nick Cannon
first name is not the only thing they have in common. i couldn’t find good pictures where they really look alike, but if you saw them both on tv, you’d definitely agree with me that the two nick boys look alike. they both have skinny, narrow faces with a lean bodyframe, and they have both this boyish, goofy look. anyway, nick cannon was with a victoria’s secret model and christina milian before he married mariah carey. i mean, she does have gigantic boobs, but she’s also kinda chubby and like 50 years old. nick cannon is the second person on this list to be with a much older woman (the other was ashton kutcher).
12. Scottie Pippen and Shin Hyun-Jun & Vince Carter and Eric of k-pop boy band Shinhwa
korean readers who actually know who Shin Hyun-Jun and Eric are would find this even funnier, but those who don’t should see the resemblance nevertheless. Shin Hyun-Jun is a Korean movie star who has appeared in several typical Korean tear-jerking melodramas (where he falls in love with his step-sister who likes some other guy and dies of cancer, leaving him devastated, or something along that line) and a handful of crappy movies. Eric, on the other hand, is the leader of the longest-lasting, most popular boy band in K-pop history. he also does a little bit of acting, and while his acting ain’t that great either, i think he should just act and stop “rapping”. he cannot rhyme to save his life and he once rapped about how he’s so crazy that he can turn a regular chicken joint into an El Pollo Loco. wow. anyway, Shin Hyun-Jun has long been called “Scottie” in korea, and Eric has been often compared to Vince Carter and also actor Eddie Griffin. (not the deceased basketball player. RIP eddie griffin.)
and then…
Bonus Coverage: Uncle Phil and Suge Knight
i know, neither uncle phil nor suge knight is an athlete (although case could be made that suge knight is a “hustler”), but this was just too good to not include. if i were to force an athlete in, i’d try drew gooden. he’s bald and has the same beard, but it’d be pushing it. i’m glad he got rid of that nasty triangle patch of hair on the back of his head, though. that sure looked retarded.

Здравствуйте. Прошу у Вас совета. У меня сложилась очень неприятная ситуация. Дело в том, что мой блог с недавнего времени перестал показываться в поиске Яндекса. Сам блог проиндексирован, то есть если посмотреть наличие определённой страницы в результатах поиска, то она там есть. А вот по поисковым запросам, да и по точным текстовым вхождениям сайт не находится. При чём его нет не только в сотне, но даже в 1000 показов. Ума не приложу, что произошло. Сайт был доступен, перебоев у хостера не было. А обнаружил энто - в статистике LiveInternet, который вдруг стал показывать гораздо меньшее количество посещений.
Кстати, юзеры с Гугла и Рамблера идут в прежних объёмах.

Меня друзья зовут отмечать новогодние праздники за границей. При чём не просто за границей, а на море, в Египте! В принципе всё для этого имеется, и финансовая возможность и действующий загранпаспорт. Пишу это не для того, чтобы похвастаться. Хочется посоветоваться с теми, у кого есть опыт встречи Нового года в тёплых краях. Как это вообще? Я, если честно очень себе плохо представляю НГ без снега и маленькой ёлочки, ледяных горок и детского смеха, Медведева по ТВ за 5 мин до курантов, бутылки водки и немеренного количества мандаринов. А что взамен этого может мне дать Египет? Честно признаюсь, не был там ни разу, и желание полежать на горячем египетском песочке имеется. Но не думал делать это именно в Новый Год.
Что посоветуете? Как мне быть???

Thanks
February 1st, 2010 at 8:54 am
На днях сходили с друзьями на киносеанс фильма Наша Russia, хочется поделиться впечатлениями, пока свежи воспоминания и горячи эмоции. Сразу хочу высказать свою точку зрения - посмотреть фильм стоит. Новая лента Камеди Клаб Продакшн выигрывает у своих предшественников – “самых лучших фильмов» сразу по нескольким критериям. Во-первых, это актёрский состав. Совсем не трудно догадаться, что больше половины ролей в фильме исполняют Маша Галустян и Светлаков. Конечно, не хочется говорить, что фильм выехал только на них, но если бы не эти ребята, фильм смотрелся бы достаточно убого. Не спорю, может быть мы все уже привыкли и полюбили персонажей из сериала Наша Russia, и именно поэтому в кино мы шли без большой доли скептицизма. И это уже показатель второй: бренд нашей Раши. Ну и в третьих, это какой-никакой, но сюжет - последовательность действий, которые мало-помалу развиваются от начала, и имеют логическую (или не совсем) концовку. Чего практически не было в самых лучших фильмах - где грубо говоря была последовательность миниатюр, кое как скреплённых общей ниточкой меж собой.
Конечно, фильм Наша Раша Яйца Судьбы не без минусов - это порой уже потёртые шутки, а некоторые моменты можно было обыграть и развить получше. Слишком мало в действии мы увидели Ивана Дулина, Анастасию Кузнецову, Снежану Денисовну, Славика с Димоном. Ну и, если честно, не очень порадовала концовка, которая оказалась как то очень смятой, скоротечной, и при этом предсказуемой. Но, несмотря на это, фильм всё же понравился. Конечно создатели постарались, чтобы зрители выходили из зала с улыбкой на лице, и в финальные титры “посадили” Сергея Юрьевича Белякова, который в пух и прах разложил всех создателей и участников фильма, кроме себя любимого. Ход сыграл на все сто!!!
