Top 10 ugliest players in the NBA

Watching Luis Scola flop his way to a Rockets victory on Friday against the Blazers made me think about how ugly some of the European NBA players are. Most of the ugliest guys in the league are transplants from one European country or another. However, there are also some American players out there that look like they belong in prison on murder charges. Either way the NBA has A LOT of ugly dudes and someone has to rank them. So here it is - my top ten list of the ugliest players in the NBA.

1. Delonte West
Picture the leprechaun from the lucky charms commercials, only he's all methed out and semi-retarded. Now you should be picturing something along the lines of this:
2. Charlie Villanueva
Okay, where the hell are Charlie Villanueva's eyebrows? Does he shave them off? And if so, why? Cause it's definitely not helping his looks.
3. Andrei Kirilenko
Andrei Kirilenko's chin is so big it should have its own area code. And unlike Jay Leno's chin, Kirilenko's looks like it could poke someone's eye out. AK47 also reminds me of Rocky IV foe, Ivan Drago and wouldn't be surprised if he drops a "If he dies, he dies" quote in a postgame interview.
4. The Gasol Brothers
This one gets such a high ranking because its a two for one. Pau is probably the uglier of the two, but Marc is definitely not far behind. Fortunately for the two, if basketball does not work out they have a future career working as the Geico cavemen.
5. Robert Swift
I've never seen this guy play in an NBA game, but from the looks of this picture that's probably a good thing.
6. Mehmet Okur
Mehmet Okur is by far the creepiest looking dude in the NBA. He looks like an Eastern European version of Chandler from Friends. Seriously, what's with the gelled hair and single highlight?
7. Chris "Birdman" Anderson
Whether he's rocking the faux-hawk or long blond hair, he is so tattooed its hard to tell whether he belongs on the court or in one.
8. Luis Scola
Since when do they let women play in the NBA? At least get a real headband and stop the damn flopping already. I wonder if him and Laker's guard Sasha Vujacic share fashion tips with each other?
9. Joakim Noah
Maybe it's the gap-tooth, the long ratty hair, or just the fact that he went to Florida, but this guy is definitely one of the ugliest players in the league.
10. Robin Lopez AKA "Sideshow Bob"
If you haven't realized it yet, Robin Lopez is the physical incarnation of Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons. That fact alone is enough to land him on the list.



Honorable Mention - Sam Cassell AKA "ET"

Honorable Mention - Ronaldo Balkman

Honorable Mention - Zaza Pachulia

Honorable Mention - Brandon Roy's "playoff beard"

  1. In my opinion, Scola should be number 1 on this list...

  2. Where the hell is Chris Kaman? Rediculous list without him and Sam Cassell in the top 10. And, Delonte West is the man, he gets all the bitches.

  3. "Villanueva has alopecia universalis, a variation of alopecia areata, an autoimmune skin disease. This results in hair loss on the scalp and/or elsewhere on the body" - Wikipedia.

    That would be why he doesn't appear to have any eyebrows.
