Celtics Favorites Due to Ugly Frontcourt

Wednesday 12 August, 2009 at 10:14 pm T Lamont 0


In the 2009 NBA Playoffs, the Boston Celtics were probably one injury away from competing for the NBA championship.

The lack of depth in the Green Guys’ frontcourt ultimately led to their demise.  The biggest loss being the super-versatile Kevin Garnett.  But the C’s also missed out on significant production when Leon Powe went down (he was recently signed by the Cavs).

In the past few weeks, Boston has taken some steps to keep them from coming up short on big guys.  I now present to you…the ugliest frontcourt in the NBA:

Rasheed Wallace – Now, Wallace is not truly an ugly guy.  But he’s not easy to look at either.  And that patch in his head…what’s the story on that?  Nobody really seems to know.  I think ‘Sheed should have a press conference just to let the world know.

OK...I'll admit...I'm scared...

OK...I'll admit...I'm scared...

Kendrick Perkins – Big.  Black. Tough. And ugly.  He picks up fouls simply because his face looks foul.

Glen “Big Baby” Davis – The only reason – that I can think of – for him having a nickname of “Big Baby” is this incident.  He’s probably the best lookin’ one in this group – that is if you don’t count his “cryin’ face”.

Shelden Williams – In an attempt to keep women and children away from their games, the 2007-2008 NBA champs signed him on.  I don’t know how a guy so aesthetically challenged gets so many breaks.  (In case you hadn’t heard, he’s married to Candace Parker – a mismatch of epic proportions)

Brian Scalabrine- What he lacks in face ugliness, he makes up for with his unathletic build.  He looks like a mix between the Pillsbury Dough Boy and Carrot Top.

Well, there you have it.  With a healthy squad on the floor, the Celtics are once again right up at the top of the list of contenders.  But even if this team is unsuccessful in its quest this year, we all have to agree on one thing – - it can’t possibly get any uglier than this.
