Is this Larry Bird’s likeness in the form of a tomato?

Someone’s anthropomorphic pizza topping precursor resembles Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird, but we’re not buying it. Are we wrong?

We’ve all heard the one about the face of Jesus appearing in someone’s toast, but have you heard about the second coming of legendary  Boston Celtics forward Larry Bird as a tomato?

In all seriousness, Bird hasn’t left us so ‘second coming’ isn’t quite right, but neither is his visage so evident in a photo of an odd, anthropomorphically- shaped vegetable currently making the rounds on social media platforms.

Larry Legend does indeed bear a slight resemblance to the humanoid-esque marinara base ingredient ostensibly resembling the Hick from French Lick, but then so would anyone with a slight pair of jowls and a touch of melancholy to their air.

Or should I say melon-choly?

We’ll be here all week, folks! Probably with fewer puns, since we want you to read our work.

But in all seriousness, take a look for yourself — it’s not every day someone grows vegetables that look like beloved Celtics superstars.

And we’re not entirely certain they did today, either.
