A Ted Cruz lookalike has offered to stand in for the U.S. senator for his pending basketball duel against late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
The Texas Republican may want to seriously consider the offer, since it came from Duke star and NBA prospect Grayson Allen.
Cruz challenged Kimmel on Twitter to a one-on-one game in which the loser donates $5,000 to a charity of the winner’s choice.
But it was Kimmel who provoked the contest, when he said Cruz looked like a blobfish in a photo Cruz tweeted on May 28 from the NBA Western Conference Finals.
