If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, the insane genius behind Wizznutzz must be blushing right now, because we’re completely ripping off one of the best features. In homage to their popular Separated at Birth feature, we’re going to occasionally post our own NBA lookalikes. Have any suggestions? Tell us in the comments.
Ian just posted the Lawrence Frank/Doogie Howser shots, and in case you missed it, on Friday we kicked things off with Jeff Foster and Freddie Mercury:
Their personalities couldn’t be more different, but this one is too easy — Rick Carlisle and Jim Carrey:
Anyone out there know if Carlos Delfino laughs at his own jokes? Because as Travis pointed out, Delfino is the spitting image of Jimmy Fallon:
Why so serious, you two? Lighten up!
Darko Milicic may have a better jumper, but there are a lot of disappointed fans in Detroit who think John Mayer has just as much of a chance of making an All-Star team someday (Thanks again, Travis):
Edit: Here’s one from last Janauary (thanks for the reminder, Angela and Ian): Manu Ginobili is Balki Bartokomous… er, Bronson Pinchot:
Edit: Zaza Pachulia may be from Eastern Europe, but he stands for America! No, I’m serious, he literally stands for America in the New York Harbor… (thanks for the tip, Angela!):
I dunno if this’ll work, I posted it in my blog last month:
Separated @ Birth NBA Edition
Euro-Atlanta Hawk Zaza Pachulia and the Statue of Liberty (I swear he really looks like the statue — just couldn’t get a decent picture of Lady Liberty)
Shaggy of Scooby Doo fame and Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavs (Daddy Cuban should be so proud)
The Mailman Karl Malone and Law & Order/Rent the Movie actor Jesse L. Martin (uncanny…)
Will Smith and Robert Horry of the San Antonio Spurs (gawd knows how much I hate him)
Ricky Davis from the T’wolves and comedian Eddie Griffin (even without the afro)
Manu Obi-wan-G-blow-me and Cousin Balki (how can this not make the list?)
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle and Jim Carey (and Carlisle is a comedian as well)
Cavs coach Mike Brown and Al Roker (I’m seeing double!)
AGH!!! The pics didn’t come out!!!!!
Angela–great minds must think alike, because we posted this about the Balki/Ginobili comparison back in January:

Can’t believe I forgot about Balki Ginobili!
Angela — I’m not sure if the comments section is set up to allow pictures. What’s the address to your blog? I’d love to see some of those. Even without seeing the picture I can totally imagine Zaza Pachulia/Statue of Liberty one — he does have a distinctive face.
Matt — I put the pics on Flickr on private but I can change them to public and you can use the pics I gathered on your next Separated at Birth segment!
