Twins

While walking through the old city of Damascus one time we came upon a row of portraits tacked on to an old stone wall near some even older Roman columns, in the square just outside the most famous section of the market. Although the portraits were of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, I couldn't help but think that they bore an uncanny resemblance to a basketball player I grew watching in the 1980s. What do you think?
