In the WATN Willie McGee is listed as "Still Ugly". I'd like someone to confirm that he is, in fact, still ugly. I haven't seen the guy in years. Maybe he's become handsome.
The guys nickname is E.T. No amount of plastic surgery can fix the phone-home syndrome.
Having said that, Willie McGee is one of my favorite RBI players. Probably top ten. If he weren't on a shit St. Louis squad, probably not. But he makes the team.
It will be tough for anyone to ever wrest the title of "ugliest man alive" away from Willie. Though Golden State's Tyrone "Junkyard Dog" Hill is making a run at it.
I'd have to say Hideki Matsui and Popeye Jones give him some competition also.
Actually, Sloth was played by John Matuszak, the former LA Raider, and the deformed face was done with makeup. So McGee still wins the competition for all-natural ugliness.
Notice my gay avatar. If Frodo were black he might look a lot like McGhee. Conversely, were Willie white, he might be a hobbit.
Popeye Jones and Tyrone Hill are definitely the ugliest NBA players I know of.
Matsui could have only got the nickname Godzilla because he looks like him, not because of his power. The guy looks to be about 85 years old.
Scottie Pippen and Greg "Cadillac" Anderson weren't lookers either. And George Muresan was the ugliest, though he was hormonally challenged....
How about the movie My Giant, starring Muresan and Billy Crystal. That was one sexy romp.
