This video of Celtics players revealing their look-alikes is gold originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Thursday’s NBA Finals rematch between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors was thrilling in its own right. But the TD Garden Jumbotron also provided some grade-A entertainment.
During a timeout in the first half, the Garden video board rolled a video of Celtics players sharing names of people who they once were once mistaken for.
Here’s a snippet of that video:
There’s a lot to unpack here, but we’ll single out three highlights.
As our Chris Forsberg noted, this was the easiest “mistaken for” ever. Judging by the replies to Bleacher Report’s tweet, many non-Celtics fans actually thought this was Hayward. Alas, the doppelgangers never shared a locker room; Hayward left the Celtics for the Charlotte Hornets in November 2020, while Hauser joined the team in 2021.
2. Blake Griffin mistaken for Kris Humphries
This is a lot more funny if you keep up with your Kardashians; Humphries was briefly married to Kim Kardashian in 2011 (for 72 days, to be exact), while Griffin briefly dated Kim’s half-sister, Kendall Jenner, from 2017 to 2018.
Griffin earns bonus points for his delivery: “Kris Humphries back in his … prime.”
Wow. We can totally see this one. If Kornet wasn’t eight inches taller than the New York Jets quarterback, we’d have him infiltrate a Jets practice and bring a few state secrets back to New England.
Honorable mention goes to Grant Williams, who claimed he was mistaken for Jayson Tatum and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — “because of the muscles.”
We’re sure he’ll hear about that one in the locker room.
