Funny blog about the NBA by the Sun's 12th man...

[MBgirl10]

I saw an interview with Paul Shirley (12th man on the Sun's roster) and he talked about a blog he made during the recent road trip the Suns had. He seemed like a pretty funny guy so I decided to read what he wrote. It's actually really funny...I like people who don't take themselves to seriously and are able to laugh at everything.

Anyways, I think it's a good read if you're bored (like me)...He has some funny comments about the Heat's dance team, his all-nba ugly team, and how he's worried that the Grizzlies might get kicked out of the nba because they have 3 american white guys of their team...haha..enjoy!

Funny guy...he sure had a lot to say though.

I miss the Scot Pollard Award when it was posted at Kings.com back in the days...they were funny.

''..while I am no male model, 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.)''

Very good read, imho. Who knew Iowa St. taught their basketball players how to write coherent thoughts?

Yeah, he actually writes like he might have attended a few classes outside of a PE major! LOL!

Funny stuff and entertaining too.

So, where is the problem? I am 27, have no children, no wife, and no serious girlfriend and, while I am no male model, 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.)

Take that, Garg! Robert Swift didn't even make the "All Ugly" team (No Seattle nominees). Anybody want to start a thread on who the "All Ugly" team might consist of?

My guesses:

Minny: Garnett and Cassell. (runners-up: 1st: MADSEN; 2nd: Hoiberg.
(Male Model Material: Szczerbiak).

Bucks: Dunno...I don't see anyone really ugly there. It's kinda like why Garg finds Swift uber-ugly and I can find redeeming qualities...it's a male/female thing, I guess. (oddly fascinating: Dan Gadzuric) (No MMM on this team)

Warriors: Troy Murphy (although I hate all three red-heads equally: Murphy, Dunleavy, and Biedrins) No male model material there either.

Blazers: Wow, so many options. I vote for Nick Van Exel. Runner-up: Viktor Khryapa. Honorable mention: Ha Seung-Jin. (and that's leaving out Wiltzilla and Patterson). No male model options.

Now, I vote the non-playing 12th man for the Suns to be male model material because he's decent enough looking and he has a brain...verrrrrrrrrrry sexy!

Let's see if GGG chimes in with her thoughts, they are bound to be way more interesting than mine!

Great read! I have some candidates for the NBA all ugly team but first I will let you know that the two formentiond Minny palyers have to be Cassel and Olacandi... Granett is a supermodle next to the candy man.

Oh, man! Step away from the crack pipe! Kandi is handsome (to women)...as long as you don't know his history!! Garnett is a scarecrow, in the worst sense of the word SCARE!

That was great! He seems hella funny!

I should have thanked you earlier for the great read! THANK YOU for spotting this!!

How fun to read a semi-real take on the season in progress, it was very refreshing! And, no, I don't begin to believe that it's 100% accurate but it was still a fun read and a great find. Thanks, MBgirl10, for the find!

I you say so... personaly I think Candi always looks like he just crawled out of a dumpster behind the crack house, but if it works for you enjoy. Of course Carnet does look like Stripe the Grimlen.

Minny: Garnett and Cassell. (runners-up: 1st: MADSEN; 2nd: Hoiberg.

I think it's Cassell and Ervin Johnson.

For Milwaukee, Daniel Santiago.

Golden State, Adonnal Foyle.

Blazers, He Sueng Jin.

Shirley's "NBA's Ugliest," is pretty good, but here is a few more to add to the list of "NBA's Ugliest."

Enjoy these guys!

C, Bruno Sundov, Knicks

C, Calvin Booth, Milwaukee

PF, Michael Ruffin, Wizards

C, Gheorghe Muresan, Retired

Also see...Mengke Bateer Popeye Jones Keith Van Horn
Ratko Varda Varda again... Chris Crawford

Rookie: Charlie Villanueva

Coach: Hubie Brown


Now they'd break mirrors if put together in the same room!

(Again, NBA.com for Muresan/Booth, I took the other three from Hoopshype.com)

Tyrone Hill is hands down the ugliest player to ever step on an NBA court.

 

[SLAB]

Everyone says Tyronne Hill is a beast, but...

He may be bad, but he's a model next to Sundov/Hill/Muresan/Booth

"Contrast that with my current situation. I play for (I use the term loosely; play for/cheer for—same thing) arguably the best basketball team in the world. My responsibilities include: 1. Showing up for buses, practices, games, etc. on time. 2. Refraining from causing undue stress to anyone by misbehaving on road trips or wading into the stands to attack fans. 3. Practicing hard when given the opportunity. 4. Entering games when my team is up by an insurmountable margin and attempting to break the shots-per-minute record. It is not a difficult job, really, and I can find very little to complain about, especially tonight."

I found number two to be much funnier than it probably should be.

This guy is great. He probably secured himself at least one or two more gigs in the next few years, if only to keep him around for the novelty of having him on the team.
