Game 1 of the NBA Finals was spectacular on Thursday night with the Celtics topping the Lakers by 10 points, 98-88, in Beantown. From Paul Pierce’s four-point play to his injury and heroic comeback to Kobe Bryant’s alley-oop flush late in the third to Kevin Garnett’s monster two-handed dunk off a rebound that basically sealed the victory, there were a whole lot of memorable moments in the series opener. However, there’s no doubt that this was absolutely the best 30 seconds of the night.

You callin’ me ugly? Why I oughta…
So, The Phoenix decided to release their list of “The 100 Unsexiest Men of 2007” and it is a pretty good compilation of ugly dudes. But, here at Sportscolumn, we’re only fascinated with the most hideous, stomach turning sports dudes that made the list. Well, we’re not really fascinated with them. It’s more like we’re just interested in them. Uh, not interested in them as in interested in them; oh, geez, forget it. Here’s who made the list:
#90 – John Kruk, Roundballer
#74 – Peyton Manning, Spokesmodel
#72 – George Steinbrenner, Evil emperor
#62 – Larry Bird, Gomer Pyle with skillz
#57 – Randy Johnson, Buzzardly hurler
#55 – Ronaldinho, Goal getter
#53 – Bud Selig, Baller, shot-caller
#45 – The Duke Lacrosse Team, Player haters
#43 – Pacman Jones, Rainmaker
#40 – Curt Schilling, Bloggist
#37 – Tony Kornheiser, Roundtablist
#31 – Bill Belichick, Player-coach
#25 – O.J. Simpson, First-time novelist
Just so you have a sense of where exactly on the line of ugly these guys rank, here’s some notable markers to keep in mind. #82 – The Geico Caveman, #61 – Harry Knowles, #42 – Jeff Foxworthy, #36 – Brian Posehn, #28 – Dustin “Screech” Diamond, #24 – Phil Spector, #3 – Flavor Flav and, of course, #1 – Donald Trump. Just imagine if The Donald had his head shaved at Wrestlemania; actually that might have improved his looks.
