Wait, I thought Bill Frieder was Ed O'Neil was Al Bundy? You mean
Bill is Rick Barry too? That would explain why he doesn't have time
to coach Arizona State...

Darrell Walker looks like a cross between Mark Aguirre and Joe Dumars.
The resemblance to Mark is especially uncanny.

Well since you ask, we were reading this and a friend of mine said that Danny
Ainge looks like------Jeffery Dalhmer. I did not say it. But i did say this,
If you know a guy who looks like Laimbeer, he has my sympathy. Just as long as
he doesn't act like him. Later.

I saw Otis Thorpe on the streets of Milwaukee and he is a dead ringer
for the gorgeous Denzel Washington. Retired NBA player Dennis Johnson
always reminded me of tap dancer Gregory Hines.

Actually, I implore all of you to go out and find an album or cd by
the late great bluesman Howlin' Wolf. The resemblence between Wolf
and Johnson is uncanny. I think that their gold teeth are even in
the same position. Wolf was known as a bit of a lady's man back in
his day, too. I'll let the rest of you draw your own conclusions
from that.

Thanks for pointing out my obvious spelling error. I actually meant to type
"git" instead of "gut" but the i and the u are so close together that sometimes
I slip. BTW "don't" forget about the apostrophe!

Some of these aren't players, but what the heck:

Isiah Thomas E.T.
Phil Jackson Tom Selleck
Red Auerbach Allen Funt
Bob Weiss Everyone's sixth-grade shop teacher
Pat Williams Jack Cassidy
James Edwards Nick Ashford (try to imagine the hair longer)

The Gorilla will not be pleased.

But anyway...I'd been meaning to ask
this but forgot, but now that the Gorilla
has come up in conversation...I was fortunate
enough to attend that Sunday Suns-Blazers game
quite a ways back on national TV where the
Suns won in OT. Just before the game, the
Gorilla opened a ceiling panel and came down
about 15 feet from the ceiling hanging on
a rope as they announced the starting lineups.
Most impressive. I've never seen him do it
before or since, and was wondering if they
showed it on TV (or whether it was preempted
by the early [Detroit?] game).

Another Gorilla story...quite a few
years ago at halftime, they gave out some
awards to players. The last award went
like this: "And finally, we have the
presentation of the first annual Gorilla
of the Year Award. This year, the award
goes to...The Gorilla."

Does Byran Ferry look like Rudy T. before or after Rudy T's face and

Why, after, of course. I didn't say
I noticed the resemblance during a Suns/Rockets
game years ago, I said I noticed the resemblance
during a Suns/Rockets game just the other night.
