If NBA Players were Dragon Ball Z characters

This list isn't nearly as inspired as the title makes it seem.

The NBA is the best sports league on planet earth, the action is fast, the scoring is high, and the personalities are one of the most interesting things about it. Dragon Ball Z is probably the most ubiquitous anime to ever exist and it's name probably bring certain images to your mind even if you aren't a huge anime fan. So why not combine the two for some reason?

Goku - LeBron

Giphy

When you think of Dragon Ball Z you think Goku and the same goes for the NBA and LeBron. They are the gold standard in their respective mediums and whenever you begin to question if they're truly still at the top, they'll find a way to make you feel ridiculous for even asking.

Vegeta - Kevin Durant

If you ask many basketball fans Kevin Durant is currently one of the biggest villains in the NBA, so matching him up with Vegeta was the pretty simple. Plus his rivalry with LeBron is very reminiscent of Vegeta's rivalry with Goku, with him being the second best but never quite being able to surpass him for very long. This leads to the point where they're willing to do something extreme (Vegeta siding with Babidi to gain more power; Kevin Durant joining the Warriors to win a championship.) in order to stand on top of that mountain.

Androids 17 and 18 - Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson

When the androids in Dragon Ball Z are a deadly force to be reckoned with but they never seemed to be too pressed about world domination and the such, they just genuinely seemed to be having a good time. The same goes for the Splash Brothers, and really, who can blame them.

Cell - Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid and Cell are essentially the spitting image of each other, it was a long and grueling Process but now that it's complete, they're basically perfection. Helping the comparison more is that now that they're at the top of their game, they're cocky as hell, and can back up the trash-talk.

Trunks - James Harden

Trunks is many things, but if there's one word I'd use to describe him is efficient, and in the NBA, few are more efficient then the reigning MVP. When Harden has the ball he's either getting a bucket or getting to the line. And like Trunks, James Harden was outstanding with superstars like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but he was even better when he was forced to be on his own

Kid Buu - Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook plays with pure passion and pure energy, it's his greatest asset but also his greatest weakness. Which makes him a perfect parallel for Kid Buu.

Krillin, Tien, Yamcha - Dwayne Wade, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony

Used to be able to keep up with LeBron/Goku but as time passes the gap widens and now these guys are washed.

This was a fun list to make, I hope you you enjoyed it. Thank you

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
