Separated at Birth - new Donyell Marshall

Remember how everyone used to day he looks like Ludacris? Those were the good ‘ol days for Donyell.

By Sam Rubenstein

Ben Osborne sent me a text message the other night during the Cavs-Knicks game, about this potential separated at birth. This is Donyell Marshall of the Cleveland Cavs and… Bubbles from the Wire.

That’s right Donyell. We’re saying you look like a reformed junkie whose front door is a piece of plywood. All that’s missing are the sideburns.

And I’ll also take this time to post - with his permission since he never found the right time to post them himself and he asked me to on his behalf - FreeDarko’s Bethlehem Shoals‘ Wire character/NBA payer comparisons. These speak to the character of the man moreso than any physical comparison like Donyell up there or Shaun Livingston and Wallace from Season 1.
Stringer: Kobe
Omar: Garnett
Valchek: Larry Brown
Michael: Dwight Howard
Norman Wilson: Cassell
Watkins: Mutumbo
Wee-Bey: Stack

String, Bubs, Omar and Bey are all on point. By the way, your mans Mutoni said that Chris is harder than Marlo. Spank him.

Are you calling my man KG a gay stick up guy? I can’t see thew comparison of Garnett to Omar.

Ric Bucher, ESPN says:
Not too far fetched, but that scene where Marlo told him that Michael ’stood tall with that snitchin boy’ shows how Chris is the one taking orders. It’s not a pertnership. I dont think he would be so willing to play #2 if he were Marlo’s equal.

I dont think he would be so willing to play #2 if he were Marlo’s equal. KG is like Omar cause he’s a lone wolf (intended) who we can’t truly assess cause he’s never had to lead a thorough crew. Could Omar wear the crown? Or is it much easier for him to do what he does alone?

I thought we’d established (or rather, that the show’s creators had established for us) that Michael is Elton Brand!?

Who has seen the new Jeezy video “Bury Me A G” with Omar and Weebo busting at Jeezy coming out the club? That’s the realest video I’ve seen in a while. When I saw it I was all hype in the middle of the day with no where to go but to the refrigerator. Check it out on allhiphop.com

Without giving away any spoilers about the episode that airs this Sunday, let’s just say that Michael was like Elton Brand up until that moment and now he’s very different from Elton.

i think that sam is implying that michael is now more like mr. whoadie.

Ron says:
Michael does start to get his Grown Man on. He ain’t all so sweet is he?

abelp says:
kg looks just like a taller version of stinkum not omar…aint nobody lookin like omar wit that big ass scar across his face…

I could see KG and Omar. They both are a little crazy, they intimidate the hell out of other players, and they have a special code that is both honorable and contradictory.
I’m surprised nobody was compared to Iverson.

What channel does the Wire come on cause i don’t watch any tv lately

Dec.2 at 7:30 pm

mutoni says:
good lord, betcats!
where do we start with you? ok, there’s no point in starting to watch now, because the season 4 finale is right around the corner. i suggest you head to your local video rental outfit and get started on season 1. (re your question: hbo)

Dec.2 at 7:32 pm

Max Airington says:
Maurice Levy & David Stern. Now that’s a good one, hendrix.
