The NBA's All-Ugly Team

Me and the fellas over at The Big Lead got on the topic in last night's Late Night posts about the NBA's ugliest players. A lot of names were thrown out there, but here's what we settled on. Bear in mind these are current NBA players, so Sam Cassell, Popeye Jones and the like aren't included.

Point Guard - Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics


What's not going for him:
1) Bug eyes
2) High cheek bones
3) Boney shoulders
4) Abnormally large hands
5) Wears green

AKA: Female alien.

Shooting guard - Delonte West, Cleveland Cavaliers

What's not going for him:
1) Ginger
2) Race unknown
3) Herpes mouth
4) Gross tattoos in bad spots

AKA: Ent from Lord of The Rings (thanks, commenter mrejr)

Small forward - Charlie Villanueva, Milwaukee Bucks


What's not going for him:
1) No body hair
2) Seriously. No body hair.
3) Not even eyebrows

AKA: Shaved cat

Power forward - Robert Swift, Oklahoma City Thunder

1) Ginger
2) Cryptkeeper Hair
3) Uncanny resemblance to the Flying Ginger Shawn White

AKA: Rocky Dennis

Center - Shelden Williams, Sacramento Kings


What's not going for him:
1) Excessively large forehead
2) Ears stopped growing at age 3
3) Eyes roughly 7-8 inches apart
4) Probably drank nerve tonic

AKA: Ken Griffey Jr. from The Simpsons

Also receiving votes: Chris "Caveman" Kaman, Joakim "My Precious" Noah and Adam Morrison (pre- and post-hair)

You forgot Anthony Mason, NY Knicks

Villeneuva has a disease called alopecia where he is unable to grow or maintain any hair.

That said, he could have an afro and zz top beard and still be fugly as shit

Popeye Jones should have gotten ugly hall of fame

Fixer - There's a lot of guys that could go on the all-time team, but I was going for current ballers. Mason would make the all-time second team.

NY - I was tentative to put Charlie on the list because I knew he had a disease. But, as you said, even with hair and eyebrows he'd be a clown.

Popeye Jones is atrocious. Theodore Hill, I believe is his name, would also make it.

Another expression of the brain-washing nba mentality. Ok, keep on loving your tall boring businessmen in suits who all look exactly the same with haircuts that look horrible, and let the real human beings appreciate a certain diversity in this cold and totally tasteless world of the modern nba...
