Doppelgangers!

Posted by Ashley May - 11 - 2010

I have been struggling for weeks now to figure out who (or what) Kendrick Perkins looks like. Seriously, ask Mike. It’s been driving me crazy. I keep pausing the TV when he’s on so I can stare at his ugly face. So far, this is the best I can come up with:

What do you think? Can’t you just see Perkins wearing a cardigan and eating a Jello pudding pop? Or Bill Cosby arguing with a ref over a correct call?

I’m not going to lie, this hasn’t totally answered the question of “Who does Kendrick Perkins look like?” for me, but it’s getting there. I also considered Griphook from Harry Potter or Telly from Sesame Street or that thing from Jeepers Creepers, but none of those are right either.

I thought about making this a giveaway contest and having people submit their suggestions for best KP look alike, but then I realized I have nothing to give away. So, if anyone wants to throw their hat into the ring just for funsies, go for it.

In addition to Perkins, I have found a lot of celebrity lookalikes in the NBA, so I thought I’d share some of them too. Here are some of my favorites:


Steve Nash and the Heartbreakers?


OR

Aaaaaauuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!


Neither should ever take his clothes off.


Boldly go where no Miller has gone before.


Donyell wishes he was worth a million ga-zillion fa-fillion dollars.

    I still think that Steve Nash looks like Skeletor.

    Actually, it’s a llama! :-D

    I can totally see all of these, especially Tom Petty and Ron Jeremy! I actually can’t believe I didn’t make the Tom Petty connection before!

    I’m not savvy enough to post pictures, but here are some links. You can’t tell me that Lebron doesn’t look like Webster, particularly in that headshot they always show during games where he’s smiling straight-on like an eager 10-year-old. (I couldn’t find that one, though.)

    OK, I found it! Check out the Webster link in my earlier comment and then this (tiny) headshot. Twins, I tell ya!

    Great Doppelgangers! I think Gasol looks more like a llama than Daniel Stern.
    In addition to Tom Petty (as long as we don’t let the blond hair get in the way), Nash also looks somewhat like Martina Navratilova.
    Reggie’s great! I knew you’d find someone fitting for him!

  7. [...] After dinner, Mike and I sat down for a screening of Home Alone and Home Alone 2. Definitely NOT Home Alone 3, because that piece of garbage is an insult to movies everywhere. The Home Alones (Homes Alone?) are my favorite holiday movies, and no December is complete without them. (Plus Marv, played by Daniel Stern, looks a lot like Pau Gasol, one of my favorite basketball players, a point I very aptly made in one of my most popular Skirt on the Sideline posts, NBA Doppelgangers.)
