I have a problem with seeing look-a-likes that no one else can see. I think my white friend Josh looks exactly like Ray Allen. My other white friend Alphonse looks like Richard Hamilton. NBA players can usually be equated to someone I know or something I am familiar with. Kendrick Perkins is Osiris, the Egyptian god.
It might be the beard, but every time I watch the Celtics, I see the god of the underworld playing.
I am a Celtics fan and Boston is undeniably the greatest city in the world. Rajon Rondo is my favorite player and I love him, but I think he looks exactly like this toy I had when I was little: Big Frank. Big Frank was a friendly looking Frankenstein figure that needed medical attention. He had tools that he kept in his head and if you opened his chest you could turn some dials that would eventually bring him back to good health. He even thanks you when you have finished working on him! Awesome toy. And Rondo is Big Frank reincarnated. My five year old self got so excited when I first saw Rondo.
SAME PERSON! Am I not exactly on target with this? It's uncanny.
And we all know how good I am at spotting look-a-likes. Antoine and his gym twin are proof.
Check out the commercial from 1994 to see how awesome this toy is.
