Ugliest "game" in the NBA? 

Post#1 » by Upperclass » Sun May 18, 2008 8:51 pm

Who do you all think has the most unorthodox, or just plain ugly game(play style) in the league?

I nominate Paul Pierce.. If i saw his likeness(though hopefully not 6'7 230) at my local rec, he would be laughed at mercifully..
-Conversely, i think Ray Allen has the smoothest game in the L.. makes everything look very easy(disregarding cle series of course)

Honorable mention goes out to Andre Miller, Bobby Simmons and Ron Artest

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

I don't know if you would consider it ugly as much as it is unorthodox but Antawn Jamison is my pick.

I agree with your Pierce pick. I don't find his game aesthetically pleasing at all.

Why Paul Pierce? His game is fundamentally sound. Not too flashy but it's definitely not ugly.

Shawn Marion has a pretty ugly game.... only thing that looks good are his dunks, everything else looks terrible.

I was never really a big fan of Dwight Howard's game either. He's got monster dunks but his foot work and offensive repertoire is pretty lacking. I know lots of ppl will disagree with me but I prefer watching guys like TD or Yao. They won't make you jump up from your seat but I can relate more to their moves, footwork e.t.c.

Vince Carter has to be up there. He is alot of talent but likes to shoot jumpers instead of getting contact and going to the line.

Marion only has a ugly shot... he cant do much on offense other than be spoon fed.

Pierce's game is definitely not ugly, he s just not ripped like the other players but he is strong and i think his game is very legit.

Carter takes more jump shots now than before, but that doesnt make is game ugly. he actually has a very respectable shot.

PJ brown's jumpers were definitely ugly... reminds me of a flawed version of pau gasol's jumpers.

Walker is a true winner.
