The NBA and The Wire… again
I’m jealous that someone else wrote this
We’ve been there and back again with the NBA and Wire comparisons. This one here at Indeed, indeed is so good I feel like less of a man for not being the one who wrote it. This is ground breaking work. You’re hired.

Phenomenal work. Prezbo - Luke Jackson, although Prezbo does have some redeeming qualities. Maybe Luke Walton would be a better comparison - severely limited and flawed but contributes in the right system. Ala Prezbo and his work on the wire taps, and eventual (although limited) success as a teacher. Dukie - not an easy comparison comes to mind, as we need to see how Dukie turns out. And, with the news that is set to come out on Valentine’s Day (pun intented), how about John Amaechi as Kima? Stanley Roberts or Oliver Miller as Bunk?

The pic shown doesn’t really bring it out, but I think Carver and Lindsey Hunter = a mean seperated at birth.

Where’s the Bodie comparison?? I would have linked AI to Bodie instead of Omar. Bodie had mad heart just like Ivy……….. I heard the reason they killed off his character was because he wasn’t happy with his diminishing role and voiced his displeasure behind the scenes.

Snoop - Teresa Weatherspoon…for the braids, the menacing look (’Spoon on defense, Snoop putting one in some fool’s medulla…hell, even their nicknames are similar)
Bunk - Oliver Miller…talented and resourceful, but victims of their own vices (Bunk and alcohol, Miller with anything that can be digested by a human being)

My bad. SPOILER WARNINGS for that whole thing! Though people really need to catch up by now if they’re not.
The Lester and Bill Russell one is amazing.
