There are currently 438 players in the NBA. There are bound to be celebrities that resemble them, let alone share some similarities. We do reserve the right to say that practically all of these similarities are from the neck up and don't always reflect the abilities of these ballers. The Game might resemble Josh Smith, but we've seen him on the court and it's never been a good look. Chris Brown has proven he can ball, so his resemblance to Shannon Brown is a resemblance from every angle.

From Delonte West looking like he could fit into The Wire as Bubbles, to Brian Scalabrine being able to fill in as Michael Rapaport's stunt double, here are the most accurate NBA Doppelgangers.

Mickael Pietrus and Jay Electronica

Jay Electronica has exhibit's A, B, and C, while Pietrus shoots three, after three, after three. Sounds like a match.

Delonte West and Bubbles

This is the perfect doppelganger. His run-ins with the law would've been epic storylines on The Wire.

Zach Randolph and Iron-E Singleton

Imagine if Zach Randolph used his approach as a beast on the boards in The Walking Dead? He would've lasted longer on the show than T-Dog did.

Patty Mills and The Weeknd

Patty Mills isn't getting a lot of burn right now for San Antonio (11 MPG), but at least when he walks around different cities with all the other Spurs benchwarmers, they get the proper "Crew Love."

Caron Butler and Pharrell

Skateboard P has never played basketball in public and we've never actually seen him and Caron Butler together. We'll just leave it at that.

Dirk Nowitzki and Barry Pepper

Do they look alike when Dirk goes through his annual head shave? Yes.

Scott Brooks and Liam Neeson

Scott Brooks could easily double for Liam Neeson in Taken. Imagine how he would react if someone took Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook off of the team?

Rodney Stuckey and 50 Cent

Besides the fact that they are doppelgangers, the only thing 50 and Stuckey have in common is that 50 got shot nine times and Rodney Stuckey takes about nine shots a game.

Kris Humphries and Taylor Lautner

Kris Humphries and Taylor Lautner could switch roles easily due to their looks and the amount of tabloid fodder they both have amassed in a short period of time. They're virtually the same person. Twinsies! Ayo!

Kyle Korver and Ashton Kutcher

Kyle Korver has a pretty good salary at $5 million, but he probably wouldn't mind living the Ashton Kutcher life and making a fraction of that Nikon money.

Shannon Brown and Chris Brown

They both have the same last name, look alike, and they both can ball. Maybe with the way the Suns are playing, Breezy can come in to replace Shannon and no one would notice. C'mon, Pop!

Donyell Marshall and Ludacris

Stand up! If you play in the NBA and look like a rapper with a mean fro.

Bill Russell and Morgan Freeman

Bill Russell and Morgan Freeman look alike, but the most stunning similarity they have is their ability to narrate stories and to bless us with their insights on life.

Brian Scalabrine and Michael Rappaport

Brian Scalabrine might look like an actor/regular everyday human, but the White Mamba is the G.O.A.T.

Jeff Green and Bill Bellamy

They both look alike, but the thing that stands out the most is their ability to disappear from the public spotlight at random times.

Josh Smith and The Game

The best part of this is that Game has acknowledged it: "Red phantom, they say I look like Josh Smith from Atlanta/I do, hachoo, excuse you, that dude look like me."
