Poll: Champs
Did you enjoy this article?
Halloween is, without doubt, my favourite northern European Pagan tradition. The parties, the pumpkins, the random acts of violence. What more could you want on a cold Autumn night? To celebrate at Posting Up we decided to forgo the usual customs and conviviality, choosing instead to put a basketball spin on things. So, in the spirit of Halloween, here are five NBA players, past and present, who are/were pretty damn scary.
1. Anthony Mason - Scarier than Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis put together. Mason was a 6-7, 250-pound barrel-chested bruiser with a lethal glare and a mercurial temper. Infamous for his transgressions both on and off the court.
2. Charles Oakley - Another former Knick with a thug rep. Michael Jordan’s personal bodyguard was known for roughing up opposing players before the game had even started. Still hitting the club like any self-respecting 44-year-old should.3. Reggie Evans/Popeye Jones/Tyrone Hill - The Orcs of the NBA. Straight from the depths of middle earth.
4. Bison Dele - This was the guy that once told a reporter his most memorable Christmas was “the time my brother and I beat the shit out of Santa Claus at the mall. We beat him down.” Believed to have been murdered at sea by that same brother in 2002.
5. Michael Jordan - The scariest cat of all. Opposing players lived in fear of his game, team-mates lived in fear of his scathing tongue. Reduced Kwame Brown, and many players before him, to pathetic, whimpering wrecks.
Honourable mentions: Rick Mahorn - The Baddest of the Bad Boys. Latrell Sprewell - The unemployed strangler. Vernon “Mad Max” Maxwell - Made beating up fans fashionable.
