- BeShirtHappy, on 01/09/2009, -0/+37That is uncanny how much they do look alike... especially Steve Nash and Proposition Joe. ;)
- DickyT83, on 01/09/2009, -0/+35Such an amazing show, it's a shame it never got the publicity.
- xmzx, on 01/10/2009, -0/+22Best show I've ever seen. It's a shame the Soprano's outshined it. People really didn't give it the credit it deserved. Critics gave it the deserving props, but people were caught up in fantasy Italian mob land.
- anklesnap, on 01/10/2009, -0/+21This was the greatest show for a while. Wish it never ended!
- fr0mundacheese, on 01/10/2009, -1/+19sorry your parents couldn't spring for HBO. you missed out.
- Wodewick, on 01/10/2009, -0/+17If you missed this show, you missed something special. One of the best shows on during its run, and probably the best show that most people never saw. And a 9.7 rating on IMDB - that's higher than Friends, Seinfeld, House, Prison Break, The Simpsons, and The Sopranos, Lost, and any other show this decade.
- WiZZLa, on 01/10/2009, -0/+14It may be that or because it aired past his bed time.
- pitchblack16, on 01/09/2009, -1/+15Tracy McGrady was in Heroes???
- gfxlonghorn, on 01/10/2009, -0/+8I love The Wire, and this is amazing.
- dinuguan, on 01/10/2009, -0/+7NBA players got them WMD's and that pandemic!
- pitchblack16, on 01/09/2009, -0/+7Couldn't agree more...

And the greatest THE WIRE scene ever, Bunk & McNulty doin their thing, using only the word "*****":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQbsnSVM1zM - grepgav, on 01/10/2009, -1/+7dugg for Steve Nash and Proposition Joe.
- woofers07, on 01/10/2009, -0/+5god i hate david stern.
- jmo666, on 01/10/2009, -0/+5Hahahaha. That is one hell of a funny article...nice find. I agree...."The Wire" was a GREAT show....it's a shame more people don't know about it....it's a shame they ended it.
- dehlz, on 01/10/2009, -0/+5Thing I miss about The Wire: McNulty, Clay Davis and Hamsterdam.
- Couchy, on 01/10/2009, -0/+5Every fat white southern judge looks the same too. Big ***** deal.
- dehlz, on 01/10/2009, -0/+5Wait, they forgot Sam Cassell as Bubbles.
- DickyT83, on 01/10/2009, -0/+5Definitely, plus I'd toss in Omar in that mix too, possibly Dookie as well, poor kid.
- rebotfc, on 01/10/2009, -1/+5Short answer: no.
- Aldanga, on 01/10/2009, -4/+8Racism isn't just one-way, buddy.
- TheBongos, on 01/10/2009, -1/+5nba players + a show that wasn't animated = maybe a nerd like you shouldn't be posting on this article.
- inactive, on 01/10/2009, -1/+5they were both great shows.
- Fozfan33, on 01/10/2009, -0/+4steve nash looks black?
- anklesnap, on 01/10/2009, -0/+4Was thinking about McNulty-Marco Jaric, but couldn't make it work. I also heard a few comments about Darius Miles looking more like Slim Charles than Omar.
Any other thoughts or ones I missed? - inactive, on 01/10/2009, -0/+4dugg for darius miles and his new 10 day contract with the grizzlies (lol @ trailblazers)
- OMGRussellCrowe, on 01/10/2009, -0/+4Stick to CBS and NBC and leave the challenging shows to the grown-ups.
- SpinAlley, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3Ray Allen as Jesus Shuttlesworth?
- RawkusVoid, on 01/10/2009, -7/+10racist?
- anklesnap, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3Check out BTPH follow-up post with more Wire/NBA look-a-likes!!
http://www.bothteamsplayedhard.net/2009/01/09/nbat ... - imdeanlabouty, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3gilbert arenas' eyes are red as ***** in that picture ha
- avatarpalin, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3The Wire... I have spread the word on this, it goes hand in hand with Deadwood IMO
- ElAmo, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3Is the NBA essentially a giant conglomerate? Or is each individual team its own "corporation"? All about money?
- Couchy, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3The Wire and The Shield
Two of the greatest TV cop shows - anklesnap, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3that's because it's a mug shot. DUI.
- BugMeNot2, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3If you close your eyes he's black.
- ObSoLeTe, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3great show
- Couchy, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3nope. unless you're looking for it specifically just for scuz.
- inactive, on 01/10/2009, -5/+8Wow, you have to have never lived around black people to think those people look anything alike. That's equally as ignorant as not deciphering between Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
Dugg for The Wire, regardless. - dtpollitt, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3go back to american idol and deal or no deal
- mongo22, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2The Wire is my all-time favorite show. The Omar look-alike photos are amazing!
- guitarchitect, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2did you even bother to read the article?
- diggmeordie, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2Black people look like black people?
- MarkusDee, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2No, I thought it was an amazing show.
One thing, however, is that I don't think it has a lot of replayability. Part of the appeal, I thought, was eagerly awaiting the next episode because the writing was top notch - with an element of unpredictability. Knowing how it all unfolds takes away from that appeal.
I suppose this could be said about a lot of dramas, but The Wire in particular seems to have it even more so. - TheBongos, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2You didn't read the article, did you? It was a joke...no "big controversy."
- inactive, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2I agree that most episodes of The Wire lack replayability. The Shield is much better in that regard.
- milkmage, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2agreed. i've seen most of the episodes on HBO, but I know I missed some. netflix has the entire series.. and the whole thing is in my queue.
the article is lame (ditto pimpton777) - avatarpalin, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2I agree, man end of season five.... I shed a man tear..
