Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns shares resemblances with multiple celebrities. We wanted to morph him, but alas, we could not find that “one” perfect fit to complete the morphing.  Four people lead us into an ensuing editorial debate as to whom actually resembled Nash most.

The first three candidates are singers/musicians James Blunt, Liam Gallagher of Oasis, and Tom Petty. The fourth and final candidate is the character Walter Kovacs aka Rorschach from the film Watchmen, played by Jackie Earle Haley.

After much litigation on the issue, we had come to a dead end. All candidates had striking attributes presenting far too strong an argument to disqualify any of them. The solution?

Morph all of them! Make NBA Lookalike Morphing #14 a compound morphing.

But how do we do this? How can we do this fairly and without bias? Simple. We used the scientific method.

Purpose:

Morphing all 4 candidates into 1 composite “morphing” candidate that will almost identically resemble Steve Nash. We have given this composite entity the name “Liam James Petty-Kovacs.”

Hypothesis:

We expect that the participants in the poll will vote towards a majority trend determining that our composite “Liam James Petty-Kovacs” resembles Steve Nash. Voting  trends should overwhelmingly favor that “Liam James Petty-Kovacs” and Steve Nash do in fact look alike.

Materials:

We placed images of both Nash and each individual candidate side by side,  in order to highlight the attributes each candidate  individually shares with Steve Nash. Here is what we came up with.

James Blunt – Main attributes of similarity: Nose, hair, cheeks, chin, and eyes.

We like to think James Blunt represents the sensitive, high-pitch-singing, feminine and sensitive sides of Nash.

Liam Gallagher – Main attributes of similarity: Forehead, eyebrows, Jawline, Brit Pop hairstyle, and cock-eyes.

Liam represents the rugged rock n’ roll side of Steve Nash. This is the side of Steve Nash you would not want to piss off at the pub.

Tom Petty – Main attributes of similarity: Pretty much everything except Petty has blond hair and rocks the sh*t out of the guitar.

This would also be associated with the laid back, “it’s all good because I am Tom Petty and smoke tons of marajuana” side of Steve Nash. Of course, Steve Nash does not smoke marajuana. But if he did, a young “heartbreaking” Tom Petty would be a dead ringer for Nash.

Walter Kovacs aka Rorschach – Main attributes of similarity: Everything but the hair and ears.

This character represents Nash’s toughness; however, Nash does not have the psychopathic blood lust of his counterpart comparison. We all witnessed this toughness when Nash received a gash to his nose. While bleeding everywhere, he was determined to return into the game vs. the San Antonio Spurs during the 2007 playoffs.

Procedure:

We started by morphing Liam Gallagher and Walter Kovacs aka Rorschach into a composite morphing named “Rorschach Gallagher” (below, left).

We then proceeded to morph James Blunt and Tom Petty together. We named this composite product “James Petty” (above, right).

Taking things one step further, for the sake of science,  we morphed “James Petty” with “Rorschach Gallagher” to create the aforementioned “Liam James Petty-Kovacs.”

We felt this would adequately represent all four of the celebrities’ attributes for comparative morphing with Steve Nash.

We now present to you the fruits of our scientific labor for you, the reader, to decide the fate of this experiment.

Please answer the poll, and decide the verdict of this experiment in lookalike morphology: The Steve Nash Lookalike Experiment: NBA Lookalike Morphing #14!
