In many ways the girl group Twice are the all-stars of the Korean entertainment industry. If there was an alternate universe where the members of Twice were given unbelievable basketball talent, here’s who each singer would resemble. Comparisons were made on the basis of personality, playstyle and anything else I could think of.

Tzuyu: Anthony Davis

When they’re not performing, you won’t get much out of either person – For Tzuyu it’s because she can’t speak Korean very well, and for Davis it’s because of his bland personality. Tzuyu accidentally ignited political tensions between China and Taiwan after waving a flag on a variety show, and Davis ignited tensions within the Lakers locker room after requesting a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans.

Sana: Kevin Durant

Sana has been called ‘Sanake’ and ‘Sanaconda’ by the Twice fandom due to her interference in other established ‘ships’ and generally flirtatious behaviour. Similarly, KD was labelled a ‘snek’ after joining the 73-win Golden State Warriors and because of his wiry frame. KD has also been linked to the New York Knicks and Sana once wore a Yankees beret, as pictured above.

Nayeon: LeBron James

Nayeon is often front and centre in Twice’s music videos and LeBron is usually seen as the face of the NBA. They are both supremely confident in their abilities, as Nayeon regards herself as ‘perfect from head to toe’ and James believes his defeat of the 2016 Warriors ‘made me the greatest of all time’.

Mina: Kawhi Leonard

As the most shy member of Twice, Mina prefers to let her game do to the talking. When he’s not being a ‘fun guy’, Kawhi also doesn’t get out a lot, embracing that introvert lifestyle. They both possess a laugh that can end world wars and will have an abundance of suitors in the upcoming off-season.

Chaeyoung: Trae Young

This one is obvious because they have almost identical names. They are also some of the youngest and shortest on their respective squads. While Trae Young lacks any sort of defense at this point of his career, Chaeyoung also suffers a shortage of lines in any given song.

Dahyun: Damian Lillard

Though they might not be the most popular in the industry, but both Dahyun and Lillard are very important to their own fanbases. Dahyun has been part of Twice’s rap line throughout their discography and Lillard has released several hip-hop mixtapes under the moniker ‘Dame Dolla’.

Jeongyeon: Jimmy Butler

Sometimes when the game is on the line you need someone who will step up and make a play. This is the mentality both Jeongyeon and Jimmy Butler take in their respective fields. As an unintended leader of Twice, Jeongyeon motivates her teammates to give their all, showing similar energy to Butler beating KAT and Wiggins with the Wolves reserve players.

Jihyo: Dirk Nowitzki

Being regarded as legends by NBA and Twice fanbases, both Jihyo and Dirk have had illustrious careers. Jihyo accepting the award for Song of the Year for ‘What is Love?’ after an unlikely victory over BTS’ ‘Fake Love’ was highly reminiscent of Dirk’s 2011 championship run against the Miami Heat.

Momo: Klay Thompson

These are both simple people who love what they do and are unconcerned with material possessions. Klay seems like a regular guy who just happens to be one of the greatest shooters of all time, and Momo is among the most talented dancers in all of Kpop. It’s the little things – for Klay, his dog Rocco and the Harry Potter novels and for Momo maybe some jokbal (pig’s feet) and time with her family in Japan.
