NBA Animal Comparisons

With Andrei Kirilenko saying he runs like a young deer yesterday after Russia’s game, I decided to look at other NBA players in the league to compare them to the animal world as well.





1. Chris Paul flops like a scared opossum. 

2. Dahntay Jones has the face of a tiger (Or wait is that Ray Allen?)

3. Metta World Peace drinks like a thirsty fish. (which explains his erratic behavior & crazy tweets)

4. Nick Young dresses like a flamboyant peacock.

5. Thaddeus Young can disappear like a chameleon.

6. Eddy Curry jumps like an old rhinoceros.

7. Dwight flip flops like a mudskipper.

8. Emeka Okafor eats like a horse.

9. John Salmons (ironically) plays like a bear. (Hibernates all winter just to come alive in spring)

10. Carlos Boozer screams like a howler monkey.


Have a funny comparison to animal world? Feel free to share with the rest of us! Never enough basketball jokes in the world.
