This morphing is accredited to the infamous mouth of Hall of Famer Charles Barkley.

Barkley has experienced more than his share of being made fun of, so he never holds back when dishing it out.

Sir Charles nicknamed Oden Benjamin Button, the main character from the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, during while hosting TNT’s Inside the NBA.

Oden and Button in their early 20s.

The film stars Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button: a baby boy born as an old man who slowly grows younger as he ages.

Barkley applied the film’s concept onto Oden, nicknaming him Benjamin Button,  because he and many others have commented that Oden looks far older than his 21 years should suggest.

The Benjamin Button namesake has stuck, and many internet posts have surfaced, coming up with funny one liners, this one being my absolute favorite:

Does that look like the face of a 20-year-old? He looks like he could be LeBron’s father

We now bring you NBA Look-Alike Morphing #11: Greg Oden vs Benjamin Button.
