The hunt through the awkwardness begins!
Derrick Rose
Derrick Rose has only been out of high school for a few years, and he hasn't aged a day since he was there. Like at all. Like this photo could have accompanied that GQ profile from a couple weeks ago.
Awkward Score: 0/10
Verdict: Not embarrassing.

Kobe Bryant
Like rose, Kobe looks almost exactly the same. Only difference? He's been out of high school for 16 years. It's eerie how little he's changed.
Awkward Score: 1/10 (But only because he may be a vampire, which would be awkward.)
Verdict: Not embarrassing, but a little bit terrifying.
