Atlanta Hawks Starters as How I Met Your Mother Characters
By Nate Friesen
De’Andre Hunter as Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders)
De’Andre Hunter is Robin Scherbatsky because he is a young person that came into the team and fit in seamlessly, just like Robin came into the show and fit into their friend group perfectly.
Not only were both Hunter and Scherbatsky good chemistry fits, but I think De’Andre Hunter may have a post-playing career in broadcasting, similar to Robin Scherbatsky who was a news anchor. Hunter is really well-spoken for a 22-year-old so I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility for him to get into sports media after his playing career.
Hunter is also such a great team player and would fit in perfectly with almost every single NBA team. I feel the same way about Robin Scherbatsky. She is just a really fun and likeable character that would fit in with almost anybody and showed how easily she fit into their friend group right aways.
De’Andre Hunter and Robin Scherbatsky may not be the stars of their team (or show) but they are no doubt an important part and play a key role in the success of the team (or show). Without Hunter, the Hawks future wouldn’t be as bright and without Scherbatsky, How I Met Your Mother wouldn’t have been nearly as successful.
