Atlanta Hawks Starters as How I Met Your Mother Characters

John Collins as Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor)

John Collins is similar to Ted Mosby in the sense that they were both originally the main character on their team (or show), but were quickly overtaken by the bigger star, Trae Young (or Barney Stinson). While both John Collins and Ted Mosby are incredibly important pieces in the Atlanta Hawks and How I Met Your Mother puzzles, they are far from the most talented individuals.

John Collins was drafted one season before Trae Young and looked like he was going to be the Hawks star of the future before Trae came along. And How I Met Your Mother was a story about Ted Mosby, however, he wasn’t the main reason the show was so successful, and that’s okay.

The important part is that both John Collins and Ted Mosby know their roles. Collins is aware that Trae Young is the star of the team and he does everything he can to complement Trae perfectly. Similarly, Ted Mosby was aware that Barney Stinson was the star of the show and he complemented him by often being the butt of Barneys joke.

While Collins and Mosby may not be the stars, their certainly important and they have proved to be invaluable to their team (or show).
