Brad Stevens, Pete Buttigieg dress as each other for Halloween
Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens and U.S. presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg used Halloween to remind everyone how much they look alike.
Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, tweeted a photo Wednesday of himself dressed as his doppelganger.

The similarities between Stevens and Buttigieg go well beyond their looks. As noted by Nik DeCosta-Klipa of Boston.com, both men were raised in Indiana by college professors and worked in corporate fields before switching jobs.
"I've actually followed him pretty close and - I'll be real candid - I love a lot of his platform," Stevens said of Buttigieg in June. "I'm a big fan of his. I haven't endorsed anyone yet, because I don't really get into the political stuff too much, but he's a hard one for me to root against."
