The @ArtButMakeItSports Twitter account definitely has an uncanny eye for matching moments in sports to fine art pieces. How? These moments are similar in color combinations, poses and expressions. The account claims to turn Art into Sports (and vice versa) and reportedly does not use any Artificial Intelligence to match these pieces. According to My Modern Met, the account is run by LJ Rader who matches certain sports photographs with uncannily similar artwork he's come across.

The results of his matches are hilarious water-spitting combinations such that of Shohei Ohtani crying after ripping his UCL and an equally depressing sculpture by Jean-Antoine Houdon. Prepared to be entertained. Here are 25 combinations of moments in sports and fine art pieces that are too similar to go unnoticed.
