NBA Players, Others, Reimagined as Popular TV Characters

Some NBA personalities are real characters, so maybe they're not too different from fake ones. 

Uproxx's David Rappoccio and Spencer Lund matched some of the league's top stars with their TV counterparts.

Carmelo Anthony as Tom Haverford from Parks and Recreation may be a stretch, but he validated the match by shopping in a customized robe recently. Where's Tim Duncan as Ron Swanson?

Comparing Dan Gilbert to House of Cards' Frank Underwood, however, is giving the Cleveland Cavaliers owner too much credit. He didn't ruthlessly scheme his way into power. He won the draft lottery three times.

If Charles Barkley is Frank Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, that must mean Shaquille O'Neal is about to sell some kitten mittens.
