LOOK: Ted Cruz hilariously embraces Grayson Allen comparison on twitter

Former Republican presidential candidate and politician Ted Cruz is best known for his political career. But among the sports and college basketball community, a running joke that he and Duke star Grayson Allen have a striking resemblance.

If you have a hard time picturing it, see for yourself.

Basically twins, yeah?

So Monday, Deadspin sent out a tweet asking for proof of the politician playing basketball. And Cruz responded in the most hilarious way possible: attaching a photo of Grayson Allen.

Just when the comparisons were almost dead, Cruz goes and does something like this and totally redeems himself.

And, Cruz was just getting started.
