D-League Lookalike's in the Western Conference

Seriously, in real life, these guys are identical. Actually, I've never seen John Cena in real life, but I bet they are. (Scott's caption)

As I was relaxing over All-Star break I was wondering what to write in my next blog. I thought to myself, everyone looks like someone.  Right?  After putting a list together of some of your favorite D-League players, here is the West squad that I have put together...

West Conference:

PG: Austin's Carldell Johnson lookalike: Lil Wayne

SG: RGV's Stanley Asumnu lookalike: LeBron James / Tyreke Evans

SF: Utah's Jordan Brady lookalike: John Cena  

PF: Albuquerque's Kurt Looby lookalike: Chris Porter

C: Bakersfield's Brian "Pep's Pizza" Butch lookalike: Polar Bear

For the rest of the bench, along with a coaching staff including Joel Abelson, continue reading!

Star-divide

Bryson McKenzie -  Debo

Roderick Riley - Terrence Howard

Justin Bowen - Jawad Williams

Marcus Lewis - Carlton Banks

Coaching Staff:

Chris Finch - Jeff Daniels

Quinn Snyder - Jude Law

Joel Abelson - Where's Waldo

East Conference team will be announced in the coming days, including yours truly...

You're good at this

But how are there zero pictures of Joel with glasses?! Also, for further information, he also responds to “Vanilla Gorilla.”

I blog at Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.

Vanilla Gorilla

Sadly I wasn’t able to find any pics of Joel in his famous glasses. However, stay tuned because there will be a surprise to come involving our boy Mr. Abelson…

Thanks to my good buddy Drew from the Flash

I was able to change pictures at the top. Still, the Squeaky Johnson-Lil Wayne comparison was spot on, so I’ll put it right here!
