Some athletes bear an uncanny resemblance to celebrities and/or other public figures. A few days ago, Shaquille O'Neal referred to Chris Bosh as "the RuPaul of big men." I think that's a bit harsh. Especially since Bosh looks nothing like RuPaul. In fact, he looks a lot more like Snoop Dogg, if you ask me.

Here are some more of the most striking resemblances between athletes and/or coaches and other public figures that you may or may not have noticed.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and actor Omar Epps

North Carolina Tar Heels basketball player Tyler Hansbrough and Beeker from the Muppet Show

Hall of Fame NFL QB Dan Marino and actor David Hasselhoff

Nick Johnson, first baseman for the Washington Nationals, and actor David Denman, who plays Roy on "The Office"

Red Sox DH David Ortiz and deceased actress Esther Rolle

Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and Sid the Sloth, from the animated film "Ice Age"
