Ugliest Athelete of all time

[Karlifornia]

There have been a lot of professional athletes. Some could pose for GQ, most are average, and then we have a few special ones that could wear the crown for being "THE UGLIEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME". Let's meet the candidates:

Otis Nixon- Poor Otis. When he was 25, he looked 50. When he hit 30, he looked about 65, and when he hit 40...hoo boy. Let's just say I wouldn't be surprised to find out Otis was a mummy that had reanimated and unwrapped himself.

Dan Gadzuric-Now, if there was a player who looked like he came from another galaxy, it would be Gadz. His eyes are in a constant Wilbanksian state, and his limbs fly around on the court as if they are not even attached to his body. Gadz needs a total makeover.

Kirk Hinrich-He has the face of an inbred, the ears of an elf, and the hair of someone who went into SuperCuts and asked "Make me look like Ringo circa 1960".

Willie McGee-See Otis Nixon

Bill Walton-Well, a horse is a horse of course, of course.....

Rod Beck-Ok, maybe he's not THAT bad, but would you want him taking your daughter to the prom?

Tracy McGrady-Man, you think it's hard for you to look at him? Imagine how hard it is for him to look at you . Literally. Lazy, diverging eyes.

Ok, who else is there?

[JeeberD]

Popeye Jones

[rkmsuf]

Randy Johnson

[st.cronin]

I met Tracy McGrady and he is not a bad looking man.

My vote goes to Zane Smith. He looked like the villain in one of those House of Wax/Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.

[rkmsuf]

I mean come on

George Muresan

[VPI97]

Scottie Pippen

[fflix]

Tyrone Hill, Nick van Exel, Reggie Miller, Sam Cassell

[DanGarion]

Where the hell is Patrick Ewing?

[rkmsuf]

Where the hell is Patrick Ewing?

At the Gold Club.

[moriarty]

Clearly Randy Johnson.

[Karlifornia]

Wow I made some really obvious oversights

[ice4277]

I mean come on

George Muresan
you win

[DanGarion]

At the Gold Club.

Point to rkmsuf.

[kcchief19]

When Kirk Hinrich was at KU I always called him Frodo.

[JPhillips]

I always thought the freckled look of Dennis Johnson was pretty ugly.

[Maple Leafs]

Melido Perez? Ugly + Jerry Curl = Gold

Darren Puppa? The guy looked like they shaved Chewbacca.

[TheOhioStateUniversity]

Tyrone Hill
Sam Cassell Aka E.T.
Jerome Williams of the Knicks


those are the two that come to mind

[Huckleberry]

Ronaldinho

[Raiders Army]

Bob Euker

[Marmel]

Constantine Popa

[MIJB#19]

Great... When there's a hot chick poll, I have to advertise the Dutch women, but when there's an ugliest sportman thread, one of the initial seven is from the Netherlands.

[st.cronin]

I think basketball players should be excluded from this since practically by definition they are all mutants.

[spleen1015]

Anyone who has ever worn pinstripes.

[Subby]

Sharone Wright

[Joe]

teddy ginn

[DeToxRox]

Stephen Jackson

[TLK]

Sarah Fisher

[Ramzavail]

Im glad Willie McGee made the list, he is by far the ugliest and I thought I was the only one who thought that.

[Ajaxab]

Paul Mokeski

[JPhillips]

If we are going with an all-ugly team its hard not to pick the 85-86 Celtics. Larry Bird, Dennis Johnson, Kevin McHale and Robert Parrish. That's world champion ugly.

[Radii]

Larry Bird would get my vote.

[Bad-example]

Old Horse Face, Julian Tavares

[TazFTW]

I mean come on

George Muresan
word.

[damnMikeBrown]

Dennis Rodman

That annoying PG when the Knicks used to be decent, back in the Spike days. I used to call him "buggar" cause that's what he looked like...a gooey viscous yellowish thing, only he made a lot of noise. He was one of those yappers.

[JeeberD]

Starks? Or the Black Hitler, Derek Harper?

[mhass]

Keith Van Horn and drunk Eli Manning.

[Subby]

Since poker is a sport, I'll nominate Paul Magriel aka X-22

<img src="http://www.backgam.com/Tnmts/96Brazil/10x22.jpg">

[dawgfan]

I second the nomination of Scottie Pippin.

In the "Classic" category, Joe Torre.

Poker is not a sport. :)

[John Galt]

Scottie Pippen

That was my first thought and couldn't believe he wasn't in the poll.

[Blackadar]

Where the hell is Patrick Ewing?


My thoughts EXACTLY. Cro-magnon man himself.

[Subby]

Poker is not a sport. :) Yeah, but isnt that guy ugly? :D

[Blackadar]

Yeah, but isnt that guy ugly? :D

He looks like a cross between the Numa-Numa guy and Star Wars kid.

[oliegirl]

My vote would go to Larry Bird or Randy Johnson, both horrible men to look at.

I was surprised to see Scottie Pippen's name mentioned, I never considered him to be attractive, but I never considered him ugly either - just average.

[LloydLungs]

Charlie Kerfeld should've been on this list.

[stevew]

The oversights of either Pippen or Ewing are astounding. Both are just about as ugly as it gits.

[John Galt]

I guess Pippen is ok if you believe nose size is correlated to . . . other things. Otherwise, he defines being hit over the head by the ugly stick.

[condors]

how the heck can Randall "Tex" Cobb not be on the list

from Fletch "Bend Over" - Ben pleased to meet you

[John Galt]

http://www.mugshots.com/IMAGES/Mugshot__Andre-the-Giant1.jpg

After Princess Bride, though, he just looked cuter. I'm not sure the same thing can be said for My Giant, but when ugly athletes appear in movies (not about sports), it softens them a bit. Pippen, on the hand, could only play the role of "Really Ugly Guy #4" in a major movie.

[korme]

History lesson:

[Schmidty]

http://www.onlineathens.com/images/111201/prince_tayshaun.jpg

Tayshaun Prince. He might be one of my favorite players, but from his giant oblong head, to his oddly-shaped skinny body, he is the ugliest man I have ever seen.

[Buccaneer]

Ah, Shorty, you came through!!!!!!! And you were the least likely person I would suspect to know about Mossi. Seems like everyone else here don't know a think about baseball history (or believe that baseball didn't start until the 1980s). Good job.

Hey now, I pointed out Joe Torre. Remember the passage in Ball Four where they're talking about the All-Ugly team and they decide Joe Torre is Hall-of-Fame Ugly? I wish I had my copy with me so I could quote the exact lines...

[TheOhioStateUniversity]

I cannot believe Sam Cassell has not been given this award yet.

[TheOhioStateUniversity]

[judicial clerk]

When I read this thread title I immediately thought, I wonder what Willie McGee is up to anyway.

If we are going with an all-ugly team its hard not to pick the 85-86 Celtics. Larry Bird, Dennis Johnson, Kevin McHale and Robert Parrish. That's world champion ugly. Its almost like they picked these guys based on how ugly they were. Don't forget Bill Walton coming off the bench.

Did the Elephant Man ever play any organized sports? Because if he didn't, then the list starts at george Muresan. If this contest contest includes a spoken word element, then Muresan wins by a mile.

[korme]

i am a baseball history BUFF, come on now

[dawgfan]

Mhuresan may be ugly, but he's got a medical condition that greatly adds to his ugliness. Don Mossi on the other hand has no such excuse - he was just plain U-G-L-Y.

[ThunderingHERD]

From the Paul Shirley blog:

While I am no male model, I am not going to make anyone’s All-Ugly Team anytime soon. (Incidentally, my version of this year’s team has two members from Minnesota, one from the Milwaukee Bucks, one from the Warriors and one from the Portland Trail Blazers. In the interest of not getting the [crap] kicked out of me, should I actually play in a game against one of these teams, I will keep the exact identities to myself.)

Can we guess them all? I'll take Cassell and Sprewell from Minnesota, Gadzuric from Milwaukee, Dunleavy from the Warriors. There are a lot of ugly bastards on the Trailblazers, but I'm gonna go with Nick Van Exel

[Wolfpack]

Former NC State player Jeremy Hyatt...(edit to add that I think he even made a David Letterman skit once on account of his looks)

[LloydLungs]

I'm betting the second Minnesota guy is Ervin Johnson rather than Spree. I love Erv, we have the same alma mater and he's a great guy, but he's an ugly dude. No way to sugarcoat it.

Oh, wait, that's not a sport, either...

[Sweed]

First thing I thought of was Andre the Giant, I see his picture was posted.

With regard to Willie McGee anyone remember Howard Cosell's comment about his looks on Monday Night Baseball? Don't recall the year but Cosell said something to the effect of " I don't know I like the little fellow. Kind of reminds me of E.T."

[bosshogg23]

Like alot of others, clearly Scottie Pippen.

Chauncey Billups isnt exactly a prize either.

[sterlingice]

I was half surprised no one made the "this thread is useless without pix" comment early on.

SI

[Adamski47]

Mike Ricci (I win)
Benito Santiago

[LionsFan10]

Patrick Ewing gets my vote, so I vote "other"

[Sharpieman]

TWINS!!!

[WSUCougar]

Personally, I think Johnny Damon is one weird-looking dude.

[rkmsuf]

Paul Mokeski was a good one.

Mike Ricci is third.

But the women absolutely love him for some reason...

In the international bracket I have to go with a couple of basketball players.

Jaber Rouzbahani is a 7'5" baller from Iran. Or as I like to call him, Barlow... ;)

[davidlando1]

And how about Marla Hooch, what a hitter! :D

[Lathum]

Rod Langway

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Kasey Kahne is so photogenic he's ugly.

[heybrad]

Damn... ugly people pictures crack me up!

Ron Karkovice

Lindsay Davenport

[Suicane75]

Lindsay Davenport
Hey now, Lindsey is round, sound, and ready for me to pound. Step Off!

[hoopsguy]

I was reading the whole list of ugly men wondering where Karko was at, only to find him in post #90.

Matt Nokes, anyone?

I was just browsing my post history, looking for something from a while back, when I noticed a post that was nothing but "http://www.<b>gayworld.com</b>/articles/images/<b>bjKing</b>.jpg"--as you might imagine, I was quite curious.

[Kodos]

Scottie Pippen.

[Icy]

Umm i think one of our Spanish players in the NBA wins with clear advantage, ladies and gentelmen, Roberto Dueñas from the New Orleans Hornets:

http://www.nba.com/media/espanol/roberto_duenas_cara_254.jpg

[Tara]

The real winner!!!!! Greatest of all time!!!!!

[tucker342]

Charlie Villanueva has to at least be (dis)honorable mention. Probably the ugliest guy drafted in the NBA draft

[Pumpy Tudors]

I don't even remember if I voted in the poll, but I have to go with my man Otis Nixon on that one. This is my favorite picture of him:
