LeBron James, Tim Duncan, DeMarcus Cousins, Danilo Gallinari, Andrea Bargnani
 

If you have ever wondered what NBA players look like as pieces of sushi, your big day is here. Yujia Hu, a sushi chef in Milan, posted a series of images to his Instagram, @sakanasushimilano, stylizing rice and seaweed as ballers. The resulting images are delicious.

Everything about this Andrea Bargnani model is precise, especially the detail done on the eyebrows. Again, an Italian player works on Japanese food.

UPDATE: Hu received such a strong response to his photos as they were picked up in the U.S. that he added one more player Friday.

Kyrie Irving

That forehead and hair streak are right on the money like a fadeaway 3-pointer in the final minute of Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Hu also depicts celebrities in other fields in his nigiri designs. For example, here are Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta as Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega:
