Look, basketball is all about skills, wits and raw athletic power, we all know that. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have some harmless fun from time to time, especially since NBA player’s looks almost have a celebrity-type impact. Some of these world class talents come up with all sorts of questionable fashion choices and choose to show their poor judgement on the court.

Now that we’ve seen them, you have to too, so today, we’ll take a look at the ugliest NBA players at the moment. All of these guys are currently active, so you can see for yourself if we’re being unfair. Strap yourself in cause we’re holding no punches!

James Bouknight

The Ugliest NBA Players

James Bouknight is not only one of the ugliest NBA players, he’s also the first lizard hybrid to start in the league.
The man is uglier than being found intoxicated and unconscious while holding a gun in his vehicle, and many Hornets fan are glad he’s finally off the team. With 3.6 points in 5.8 minutes average across 14 appearances, it’s easy to see why many on twitter and social media have had enough of him.

Some had hoped that the talented shooting guard would score more, but at this point fans are begging him to sunbath on a rock instead of sitting on the bench. His 0.6 rebound per game average is not exactly great either and many ask him to use his vestigial lizard wings to get some additional airtime and justify his bloated salary.

After being mislabeled as an iguana in the delivery room, James really turned things around though. His time playing college basketball at UConn was fantastic, even scoring a 40-point game back in December 2020. He was by far one of the most prominent names during the NBA draft and Hornets fans were excited to get such a promising player on their roster.

However, the last season did to his talent what naphthalene balls do to geckos: it made it disappear. His numbers dropped and fans are mercilessly dunking on Bouknight. We sincerely hope he focuses both his eyes on his career and comes out ahead of this difficult time on his next team. Some discipline and luck will do wonders for an otherwise talented player.

Herb Jones

Herb Jones looks permanently sad. He looks like a Hornets fan that just heard James Bouknight is starting tonight. Herb Jones also looks like Herb Jones after hearing he got nominated as NBA’s ugliest player.

That being said, Herb Jones is a fantastic defender and many believed he should’ve gotten defensive player of the year. Herb is the Ice Age Sid that always had at least one eye on the ball, and another on his opponents.

Many fans also speculate that Jones’ face is melting.

Regardless of what haters say though, being nominated as one of the best defensive players of the year as a non-center is incredible. This ground sloth definitely got some moves, and is just as reliable as he was back in his college years (once, he outplayed the other team with an actual cast on his hand, how badass is that?).

Off the court, Herb is known for his humble and hardworking nature. He often credits his success to his family and upbringing, and constantly stresses the importance of staying grounded and focused. His team-first mentality and considerable skills make him one of most well-liked players in the league, and one of the ugliest NBA players to haters.

Derrick White

Derrick White looks like he held in a sneeze when he was five and just stayed like that. He’s one of NBA ugliest players and has been for a long time, and we’ve enjoyed both of his (different) phases of ugliness.

Before he shaved, it looked like God grabbed whatever he found on the shower drain and put it on White’s head. But still, he played fantastically and has managed to stay consistent throughout his entire career, which is nothing short of impressive. Now that he has an even better team, he’s able to shine.

If we’re talking about shining though, we need to talk about Derrick’s forehead after he shaved. Fans are worried that an UFO or a ballistic missile might pop out of his forehead at any time and start an international incident. Personally, I’m not sure we can survive another one of those.

Last week he chipped his tooth during the finals, and was called “ugly” by his NBA finals teammate Jaylen Brown. But hey, he’s in the finals which proves just how much of a phenomenal player he is, and what a great year he’s been having.

He has averaged 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists throughout the year, so it’s safe to say that White is just as good on the court as he is off of it. He is by all accounts a great guy to be around and a fan favorite!

Jordan Walsh

Jordan is what a skinwalker thinks a human looks like. But man, is he talented or what? He’s already playing an NBA finals at 20 years old, and while he hasn’t seen much action lately, he’s still an up-and coming talent.

If you ever wondered what an athletic and tall Tyler1 would look like, then look no further. Walsh is a bit of an all-rounder player, so he’s the type of player that scores, helps the center with rebounds and/or makes steals for sneaky counterplays.

Haters speculate that Walsh might be an X-Files villain, but even they admit that he’s got an incredible career ahead of him. He’s still young but he has the physical tools, mindset and the perfect environment to learn from other players, especially now that they’re in the finals.

Walsh is frequently seen in the gym, where he continues to look more and more like handsome Squidward with radiation poisoning.

Final Words

Look, at the end of the day, these are all athletes performing at the highest level of play in a sport that we love. Their looks obviously have no impact on how well they perform, especially since two of the guys here are playing an NBA finals right now.

These players have probably heard way worse things in the court (NBA trash talk is legendary), and at the end of the day, what they contribute to the game is worth more than what is said by haters on social media. So, take this piece as unseriously as possible and share it with your friends if you had a laugh.
