Atlanta Hawks Starters as How I Met Your Mother Characters

Cam Reddish as Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan)

Cam Reddish is similar to How I Met Your Mother character, Lily Aldrin, in two major ways. The first way they are similar is because Reddish is, as of now, the fifth wheel on this Hawks starting five. The second similarity between them is that they both have the potential to be the teams (or shows) third star.

In How I Met Your Mother, Lily Aldrin was often the fifth most important character. While she was still very important, her role at times would be more supportive. This is similar to Reddish right now. Reddish is an awesome player, but as of now he often falls back into a more supporting role, as opposed to being a co-star. However, both Cam Reddish and Lily Aldrin have had their moments.

Cam Reddish was playing the best basketball of his career at the end of this season and looked like he could be a legit third star behind Trae Young and John Collins. And at times in How I Met Your Mother, Lily Aldrin would take on a more prominent role on the show.

For example, when Lily left Marshall to leave for San Fransisco, she became the focal point of the show for three or four episodes. Similar to how Cam Reddish is able to show out for three or four games in a row, Lily Aldrin could do it for three or four shows in a row.
