In honor of #SummerSlam weekend and the #NBAPlayoffs 20 current @WWE Superstars and their current @NBA counterparts. (Thread)

#NBATwitter #WWE

1. Most polarizing guys in the business. Best of their generation and argument for best of all-time
2. The guys both companies expect to lead them in the future
3. Next up to have a shot to be the top guy
4. Love playing the heel. Would've been best of their generation if not for Cena-LeBron
5. Quiet beasts who don't always play, but are dominant when it matters
6. Hall of Famers when they were in their prime who won't go away
7. Neither was supposed to make it to the top, but both have and are fan favorites
8. Can't deny the talent, but sometimes (or most times) you wish they'd just shut up
9. Big personalities who are consistently great at what they do, and probably overlooked for how close they to being the best at what they do
10. Hollywood gimmick sometimes overshadows how good they actually are
11. Real Brothers/Splash Brothers (yes I know Steph has a real brother in the NBA, but it's a tag team thing)
12. Not what you'd typically expect a star to look like, but somehow perform at the top of the game
13. In companies full of fake tough guys, there's no denying their toughness. Badasses.
14. When they fly they don't seem human
15. Strongest guys in the company, great beard, and kinda goofy from time to time
16. So so so fun to watch, can't help but like them, the future is BRIGHT with these two
17. Game-changing athletes that seem like they were around when your dad was watching as a kid
18. Should be self-explanatory but for the uninitiated, the wrestler's name is Shorty G
19. G.O.A.Ts as leaders of men
20. Hall of Fame players turned Hall of Fame executives
