Very similar
luckily we let go of Fish & not Deron.
Look-a-likes… that could’ve turned out bad. :)
Great find!
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

Those are classic.
Think we can trade that guy to another team for someone and still keep the real Boozer? “No really, that’s Carlos Boozer. If you don’t believe me, check out these pictures.”

He looks like a Hispanic version of Rob Riggle.

I like how they even state
that he’s #8. Seriously, whoever creates these captions for pictures flat out sucks.

Here's another classic from a few months ago
It even got posted on Basketbawful:
Derek Fisher’s been confused with Deron Williams and Ronny Turiaf. Oy.

as a newspaper dude
I can testify to the fact that copy editors (usually the folks writing the captions) are largely very un-savvy when it comes to sports. I got one of my first jobs in large part because I was a sports guy who wouldn’t let boners like these through.
I'll make it.

How hard is it though?
All they have to do is compare the number to a roster list, don’t they?

look at the Turiaf pic
his knees obscure the other number on his jersey — hence, why they assumed it was Derek Fisher. It’s precisely because most copy editors aren’t willing to do more than look at a roster list that errors like this slip through.
I'll make it.
