NBA Look-Alike Morphing #1: Sasha Vujacic vs. Russell Brand

Thu, Aug 20, 2009 by Adam Sedie

Protect the Paint has been finding ways to enjoy the lighthearted side of basketball, and decided to add our own special twist to the popular NBA look alike comparisons out there in cyberspace.

We understand that players might look like a celebrity, and find it comical with what people put out there for comparison.

Well, Protect the Paint decided to take things to a further level, and asked the question:

What would the player and celebrity look like if they were morphed together?

For our first NBA Look Alike Morphing we decided to use Sasha Vujacic and Russell Brand.

Vujacic is known for his grooming habits, tweezed eyebrows, and the metro meets euro combination of personal style. He grows a well-groomed beard to assist in aging his baby face.

He is now an NBA champion, and is known to many around the world as “The Machine” for his hyper paced annoying style of defense he usually earns many personal fouls for.

Russell Brand is the antithesis of Sasha. Brand is known more for his hedonistic style of life. He has been well documented for his Heroin addiction, amongst many other undesirable tales of drug abuse.

Drug abuse aside, Brand has chiseled quite a career with that foggy brain of his. He is charismatic, and presents radio and television shows, as well as appearing in a blockbuster movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshal.

People say the two look quite similar, and it is rather ironic that they do, based on the opposite polarities their livestyles hinge upon.
