Oscar Robertson. They were both pioneers and both got their career cut short, one by a labor dispute and the other by AIDS

Lebron = Drake

Both considered versatile, broke some records and are argued as one of the best, but get shade thrown on them wen being compared to previous legends. Lebron had help from the refs and drake had help from ghost writers rofl.

JR smith- Gucci mane
Both had u like wtf sometimes.... But both did their thing and made some chicken. And JR was chilling wit waka

Vince Carter = Ludacris, dunking on heads and telling bitches to get out of his way. Was exciting and popular, but not a lot of substance. Now when you see them you are shocked they are still in the game.

Allen Iverson = Lil Wayne, about as polarizing as they come in terms of whether people think they are good or not. People either love or hate them. Both kinda trainwrecks in their personal lives.

Oscar Robertson = Rakim, both considered GOAT candidates by the older crowd, but get lost in the shuffle now a days. Both extremely dominant in their time, but came in before the big surge by Bird/Magic, Biggie/Pac

Len Bias = Big L, both have people exaggerate that they could of been the GOAT if they hadn't died.

Lil B = Swaggy P, west coast guys that suck but for some reason you are constantly hearing about them

Len Bias had that potential, probably even more so than Big L.

Yep, Celtics homer, but still he was something special.

Mos Def and Gary Payton- both were at the top of their games in the 90s and were known for being opinionated and having a huge chip on their shoulders.

The only similarity between the two was HIV. Eazy's nowhere close to being the fifth best rapper in the game

Kanye and harden always remind me of each other. They kinda look alike too.
