NBA Players as Pokemon

Derrick Rose -- Pikachu The Pikachu from the original series was special for it’s electric attacks and it’s speed. Rose may be the fastest and most electrifying player in the league. It’s a natural fit.

Lebron James -- Charizard The best player in the league deserves to be the best Pokemon. Don’t even argue, you know Charizard was the shit. He was a flying, fire breathing dragon who could, according to the Pokedex, melt rocks! That’s legit.

Dwight Howard -- Blastoise His broad shoulders are kinda like a turtle’s protective shell. This one’s a stretch, but no one’s reading this, so fuck it.

Dwyane Wade -- Sandslash Slashing is the perfect way to describe what Dwyane does.

Blake Griffin -- Pidgeot This could have also been Fearow. I just liked my flyer to be Pidgeot. Blake Griffin is a high flyer, therefore, he is a Bird Pokemon.

Kobe Bryant -- Persian Kobe is graceful like a cat; plus, Persian was the Pokemon Giovanni was known for in the TV series, and Kobe is evil.

Joel Anthony -- Magikarp Just watch him flail around on offense. Unfortunately, I’m not sure he’ll ever evolve into Gyrados.

Eddy Curry -- Snorlax Evan Dunlap of the Orlando Pinstriped Post (@BQRMagic on Twitter) suggested this. You could also substitute Shaq for Eddy Curry. Especially because Snorlax is a pretty strong Pokemon, just like Shaq is still effective at times.

Michael Jordan -- Mew/Mewtwo This one is personal preference, whichever one you think is better, that’s MJ. The other Legendary Birds would probably be Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Bill Russell.

I know I didn’t get close to all the possible comparisons. Let’s hear yours in the comments.
