If you were wondering why a tomato was trending on twitter recently, it's due to the fact that people picked up on its resemblance to basketball great, Larry Bird. 

It all started with a picture tweeted by a user and quickly escalated into comparisons between the oddly shaped fruit, and Celtics great, Larry Bird. 

And we have to say, they're not wrong.  Take a look!

 

No word from Larry Bird on what he thinks of the comparison, but no doubt, after a major career with the NBA, it's nice to be noticed.
