sports lookalikes
From JB Smoove and John Salley to Shannon Brown and Chris Brown, we’ve seen some spot-on celebrity lookalikes in the past. There’s a fresh crop of doppelgangers now, including young MLB star Aaron Judge, as well as some classics, like Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and Love & Basketball actor Omar Epps.
This list of sports figures and their doppelgangers includes some folks who are fellow athletes in different sports, and some who are celebs in other areas of entertainment. Try to tell us they aren't twins.
Aaron Judge and Aaron Gordon
Here you have New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon. Two young elite athletes, standing at about 6-foot-8, who just happen to have the same first name. Quite the coincidence that they resemble each other as well and both put on unforgettable shows during the All-Star festivities of their respective sports.
Kyle Korver and Ashton Kutcher
I think the real question here is, who is the better shooter between these two? We’ve seen the numbers on Korver from three but Kutcher shot his shot with Mila Kunis and hit all net. Not to mention he was previously married to Demi Moore.
Mike Tomlin and Omar Epps
There’s not much debate here whether these two look like. Even Mike Tomlin’s wife admitted it.
Alex Smith and Ryan Gosling
I’m sure Chiefs QB Alex Smith would trade his two Pro Bowls for Ryan Gosling’s two Oscar nominations any day but he’ll have to settle for sharing similar facial features. But unlike Smith, Gosling would never let a backup steal his shine (*cough* Kaepernick).
Bobby Shmurda and Reggie Jackson
While Bobby Shmurda “shmoney” dances in prison, Reggie Jackson is collecting $80 million from the Pistons, but have we ever seen these two in the same room? Think about it. One is officially out of the picture in terms of publicity while the other is one of the faces of an NBA organization.
Jim Carrey and Rick Carlisle
When you can pull off Jim Carrey as a Halloween costume without actually changing anything about your appearance, you’re winning.
Plus, Carlise seems to have a humor himself.
Iman Shumpert and Desiigner
OK, if not twins, Iman Shumpert and Desiigner can definitely pass for brothers. Bonded by Teyana Taylor—one by marriage, the other via Kanye—the two are both energetic souls who put a lot of work in their music.
Ron Jeremy and Stan Van Gundy
I’m not sure how someone should feel about looking like a 1980s pornstar, but Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy fits the mold. Van Gundy has heard the comments before and addressed them to CBS Detroit.
Rodney Stuckey and 50 Cent
Besides being lookalike counterparts, Rodney Stuckey (NBA) and 50 Cent (rap) haven’t been relevant in their respective fields for a while now but at least they’re both still on television often.
