Earlier today, The Hoop Doctors‘ surgeon general Dr. Anklesnap was doing what everyone should be doing five times per day: Thinking about Baron Davis’ beard.
In doing so, he came across this post of NBA players who look like characters on The Wire and came up with a few more of his own. I followed suit because I’m unoriginal and because I have a couple more to offer due to the fact that I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of my life in deep concentration about how The Wire helps explain every aspect of human existence.
If you have any others, go leave em in the comments at Hoop Doctors. And extra special thanks to Tony Silberfeld for coming up with the last one.

Abso-fucking-lutely stupendous.
F’n hilarious man! Those were perfect….i can’t believe I missed the Donyell Marshall/Bubs one…..dammmmmn I was racking my brain to think of a look-a-like for bubs too! Sheeeeeaaaat (senator davis)
Scala-Rondo had me in stitches!
Although, I think Eddy could be Shamrock McGinty.
The rest are like a Primo track from Illmatic though.
Good call on Shamrock/Eddy. But in fairness, I was basing that one more on “ability to sit with hands locked while being obese” than any actual resemblance.
Killer! There are a few more I thought of…maybe I’ll try a post on it too. Great stuff!
Seriously? You didn’t make Bubs and Josh Childress? I know he isn’t in the league anymore but come on…
