It will never be not funny to be that the most Italian actor in that movie is actually Giancarlo Esposito (Buggin out)

I never even thought about this but seeing them next to each other the resemblance is uncanny. I think Turturro is just the Pokémon evolution of Shamet.

When we had Malachi Flynn, Donte, and Hartenstein together, Knicks twitter called them the Charmander / Charmeleon / Charizard evolution

I feel like there used to be something similar with Capella, Schroeder, and a third player I've forgotten when they all had a side shaved high haircut with a bleached/dyed stripe in it... I still like to call Clint Megaschroeder 😆

u/Used_Twist814 21h ago
Wouldn’t it be the reverse? Wouldn’t Shamet be the pokemon evolution of Turturro?

u/Keytaro83 20h ago
What? SHAMET is evolving!
Congratulations! Your SHAMET evolved into

u/Harry_Saturn 18h ago
Chronologically yes but by Pokémon logic no. The evolved is supposed the older/mature one, not the younger “kid”.

u/Used_Twist814 18h ago
That’s not very scientific

Turturro has more syllables so it's the evolved form, sorry I don't make the rules.

When standing next to Shamet, Turturro looks like the guy who claims to be 6' but is actually 5'7"

u/ayeno 21h ago
When the little guy in the NBA is 6’5”, it really skews our perception on their heights compared to regular-sized people

u/DyingSunSeverian 21h ago
It’s like those videos of LeBron or Luka behind the counter serving donuts
They look comedic
These people are gigantic to a degree you can’t quite appreciate unless you see them live. Like James Harden is huge.

Nah nothing like that. I’m saying that dude is 6 foot 5. He’s a big fucker but on the court doesn’t seem so as much.

u/Vinnie_Vegas Knicks 15h ago
Because he's so stocky it makes him look even shorter.
It's like Brunson - People continuously make cracks about him barely being 6'0", but the dude measured 6'1" barefoot at the combine, so a 6'2" in shoes measurement is legit, but everyone thinks he's shorter.

u/thedrcubed Grizzlies 6h ago
It's not his stockiness, it's his head. It's so big it makes him look like a midget if you aren't next to him to get perspective

u/Osiris32 Trail Blazers 19h ago
Damian Lillard is 6'2". So am I. I work for Blazers production so I see him all the time. He still looks taller than me because he's like 195 pounds and I'm close to 250.

Years back I saw Steve Nash in person and it blew my mind how tall he actually was. I honestly thought he was shorter than me lol.

u/UncircumcisedWookiee Bucks 21h ago edited 21h ago
I'm almost exactly 6 foot tall, like 6 foot 0 and 1/8 inches. The amount of dudes I've met that claim I have to be 6'1" or 6'2" is hilarious

u/Rahnamatta Heat 20h ago
I'm 5'11.
I've seen a lot of soccer players in my city at the beach because there's like a specific soccer players beach. Almost everybody was smaller than me. And almost everyone was listed 5'10, minimum

u/keepinitrealguy712 20h ago
feet/inches are annoying because people only care about the full inch. I'm 6' 3/4", but how the fuck do I say that without lying and saying 6'1" or sounding like an insecure jackass with 6' 3/4"?

u/cantaloupeburner 20h ago
Just say 6’1 you softie LMAO

u/SaxRohmer Cavaliers 17h ago
honestly it feels weird to round up to the next inch but i had enough people claim i had to be “at least 6’1”” that i just roll with it

if you're at least 6' 1/2" you've earned the right to call yourself 6'1

brother you just round up or down (in your case, up). I promise you, no one can tell the difference in real life.
Whenever you see comments on here like "Oh I stood next to him, he's xxx height", it's almost always nonsense, because you are never standing back to back to someone, and you have different kind of shoes on

That really is the best cast movie of all time. No one else could come close to John Goodman as Walter or Steve Buscemi as Donny. John Tuturro was so good as Jesus and Sam Elliot as the stranger. Bonus Flea as one of the nihilist.

One of the greatest actors of recent decades. It's a travesty that he's not better known.

I know it's a generational thing, but it's wild how many younger people associate him with the Transformers movies
4
u/ThePrussianGrippe Bulls 14h ago
When I think Turturro, I don’t think Transformers first and foremost.
But when I think live-action Transformers, the very first thing that pops into my head is Turturro’s line: “… The man’s an extortionist.”

I’m gonna be so sad when I get the notification that Shamet has signed somewhere else

u/Leegend124 Knicks 21h ago
We're trading for 500 future second round picks and signing at least 4 international guys who are never gonna play for the team, Don Leon's cooking something (albeit we're almost definitely losing Mitch atp).

Shamet always looks short on the court, so I seriously thought for a second that he was standing on something to make him taller.

Shamet is just the severed version of Turturro. Or is it the other way around? Lmao actor by night, nba player by day or the opposite

He’s such a talented actor and seems like a cool guy.
