The NBA Street Fighter II Lookalike Team
After the infamous brawl at the Palace between the Pacers and the Pistons, I thought to myself, "Which NBA players would I want on my team if I were to get into a Street Fight?"
Upon further review, I realized that a lot of people have already had similar thoughts, and have come up with some pretty impressive lists.
Therefore, I decided to take it upon myself to create a list of NBA players (past and present) who actually look and/or act like characters from the original Street Fighter II arcade game by Capcom...

This is fantastic. I think Herrmann can pass for Cammy, too.

a few good picks here. Balrog could have also been Jermaine O'neal after his slide-punch at the Palace.
I did a similar fighting article, let me know what you think:

Awesome work, Cameron! I think the Kevin Love slide is my favorite.

Quite an original article.
At first I thought you were going to talk about Isiah Rider, Sheed Wallace, Detroit's Bad Boys, Spreewell, Webber, Payton, Iverson and the rest of the happy family.
I think Herrmann and Tabuse were incredibly underrated in the NBA.

I completely forgot about so many street fighter characters. blast from the past in more ways than one.
I laughed out loud when I got to the Tom Chambers/Ken part.
I had to look up Streetfighter because I knew there were more characters I liked, and I found Super SF II that had Dee-Jay and T-Hawk. I think they would've been an interesting addition to the list!

Are you going to do WNBA players portraying female characters, or is that too much to ask?

Danny Fortson! I like it.
He could have been a Street Fighter character himself.

This may be the best piece I've ever read on this website. Not just because I love street fighter and basketball, but your descriptions are absolutely perfect. D. Antoni is definitely a good pick.
