Installment number 8 of our NBA Look-Alike Morphings takes one of the more colorful players in the league, Matt Barnes of the Orlando Magic, combining him with notorious bad-boy Steve-O from Jackass. Special thanks to Stacio in Los Angeles for bringing this to our attention. Cheers Stacio!

It is quite hysterical that Barnes’ morphing partner is also quite colorful. Actualy, these guys have quite a few many similarities.

Both Barnes and Steve-O have spent a decent portion of their lives taking the long road to finding success. Also, both men have to be extraordinarily athletic for their profession. Both men have ridiculous amounts of tattoos all over their bodies.

The main difference being between them would be the years of alcohol and drug abuse that Steve-O would partake in preparation for his stunts.

Barnes was selected by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 46th overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft. He was then traded that summer to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but was cut in October.

He has played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State Warriors, and Phoenix Suns averaging  prior to signing with Orlando this summer.

Steve -O was born and raised in England before migrating to the States. He eventually attended the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College. After not being invited to join the Circus, he later dropped out of college to begin filming his own stunts.

This amateur beginning eventually led to smashing success for Steve-O as he starred in the television series Jackass and its blockbuster feature length spin-offs, Jackass: The Movie, Jackass Number Two and Jackass 2.5.

Both men have been tattooed up, traveled over long stretches of miles, and years, to get where they are today.

Now they can share one more trait in common: NBA Look-Alike Morphing #8: Matt Barnes vs Steve-O:
