Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is one of the more recognizable faces in the NFL. And while he’s typically all over social media for his high-profile romance with po star Taylor Swift or his entertaining antics on his “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, Kelce found himself trending on social media on Sunday for a different reason.<\/p>\n

A video of Sacramento Kings center Jonas Valanciunas found its way to TikTok and X from Saturday night’s 121-91 loss to the Orlando Magic – a game in which Valanciunas logged four points and four rebounds in 11 minutes – and users couldn’t help but point out the striking resemblance between Kelce and Valanciunas, who fans believe is his NBA doppelganger.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Valanciunas has drawn attention for his resemblance to Kelce. In fact, the Kelce brothers talked about how similarly Valanciunas looks to the 10-time All-Pro pass-catcher over two years ago on an episode of “New Heights.” “I mean, you guys look just like each other,” Jason pointed out.<\/p>\n

“This guy, I’ve been trying to get a picture with this guy [for a while],” Travis responded. “\u2026 When I saw Jonas Valanciunas get drafted to the Raptors back in like 2008, I immediately realized we’re Lithuanian because I felt like they just slapped my picture on the screen and said, \u2018This guy just got drafted.'” In his 13-year NBA career, Valanciunas has averaged 13.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while playing 5.3 minutes per night.<\/p>\n
