Leveraging Stephen A. Smith’s analysis on the unlikely 21-point duel between LeBron James and MewTwo, we’ve paired 5 NBA players with 5 First Generation Pokemon.
From the NBA league to the Pokemon league: we’ve matched 5 players to 5 Pokemon.
Nikola Jokic is Snorlax
Docile and lazy with unhealthy eating habits, he’d prefer to sleep – or think about his horses – rather than battle/play. Not particularly concerned about fitness, he remains one of the toughest to face.
Chris Paul is Psyduck
Plagued by injuries – or recurring headaches. Liked by everyone and has been part of many superteams, but when the going gets tough, he’s not the first choice to beat the league.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is Abra
Elusive, he can slip away by teleporting from one place to another. Among the most promising in the League, we all know he’ll become a Kadabra. And who knows how he could evolve after a trade…
Draymond Green is Primeape
The angriest Pokémon of the first Gen: when he gets hot-headed – which happens often – he becomes violent and it’s unpleasant to have him against you. Fickle, uncontrollable, he only finds peace when recording a podcast in the forest.
Michael Jordan is Charizard
For many, he’s the best, certainly the most beloved. Who are we talking about, Jordan or Charizard? Both. Their fans are nostalgic and buy memorabilia that fetch insane prices. Brand!
