Weird Sports

I do love to post about sports in the blogspace, but this time it's less about sports and more about the fun things sports present us with. You get to meet fun personalities, see amazing feats of athletic ability and sometimes even be moved by the real emotion of the game and the stories of its athletes. And then sometimes you get crazy, aggresive and just plain stupid stuff to watch. It's entrancing to watch sometimes.

Since most professional athletes are at least semi-famous, their respective leagues are going to sell the shit out of the image of their star athletes. What does this mean for us normal, mild mannered internet users? There are going to be a lot of great photos of these guys out there. In that light, I submit to you these two young men, whose pictures were posted rather close to one another on the Fantasy Know-It-All site rotoworld.com. I noticed an odd resemblance in their "profile pics" when checking the site, see if you can pick it out for yourself...

 Do you see it?

Look a little harder....

They only smile with half of their faces??

It's a weird phenomenon, why would two different people have a similar type of smile that way? The only connection I can think of is coach John Calipari. Both of these guys played a year under the coach, though at different schools: Evans played for Coach Cal in his one year at Memphis, while Wall played for him at Kentucky in 2009. The trend doesn't only apply to point guards, as fellow Kentucky one-and-doner and Evans' Kings teammate DeMarcus Cousins sports a similar smile.

I can't wait to see him try to drag his fat ass up and down the floor this year

Since I am one of the people lucky enough to have Paint on my computer, I was able to merge the images to see what it would look like if each of these guys were to combine their powers of stroking off one side of their face to actually get a full smile going. Since Cousins and Evans are both using the right side of their mouth to show some teeth, they canceled each other out in the combo. By doubling up the images and trying to combine their names, we came up with some interesting alternate identities for these guys next time they have to lay low for whatever reason. The results were delightful, to say the least...

I think the guard combo is a much better look then the two Kentucky products. The faces line up much better, that's for sure. My photo editing capabilities are fairly limited, so I'd be interested to see what kind of mash up someone with some of that new fangled photoshop technology could do with them.
