    Is that Tattoo on Swift's arm some sort of demon-like gaming character dunking a basketball?

    Swift looks like he has people hanging on rusty meat hooks in his basement! We'll read some day how he got busted for making a skin suit out of little kids in suburban OKC! "It puts the lotion in the basket!!!!"

    It's Scalabrine, in my opinion.

    Anthony Johnson of the Magic.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    At least Scalabrine was big. Steve Kerr (even though he's not a player now) was small and didn't have an impressive physique. He looked like a random fan given a uniform.

    I will grant that he looks different from OTHER NBA players. But he still looks like an NBA player because he's 7-feet tall! Same goes for Scalabrine. Anyone tall is already going to be the kind of person that gets the question "do you play basketball?" But Quinn could pass unnoticed in a crowd. He'd get picked last at pickup games just on appearance. (Maybe that's the test - I know Scalabrine would be one of the first people picked in any regular pickup game just because he'd be the tallest guy there.)

    He's not a current NBA player, but Spud Webb looked nothing like the typical NBA player. He looked like a 7th grader that 4th graders would beat up and take his lunch money. His officially listed NBA playing height and weight are 5'6" 133 lbs. - and that might be stretching it.

    Back in the Fall of 1984, I was standing in line with some friends to get into a midnight movie (American Werewoilf in London) in Raleigh, NC. There was a group of REALLY tall guys in NC State letterman jackets in line ahead of us. One of them was future draft bust Chris Washburn. With them was this little kid we all assumed was one of the players' little brother in a borrowed jacket. This kid looked to be about 11 or 12 and was maybe 5'4" 115 lbs. We talked to the guys while we waited in line and I still didn't know the "little kid" was Spud Webb until after the movie one of the other guys, and NC State student at the time, mentioned how cool it was to meet Chris Washburn and Spud Webb.

    I know he had mad hops and all, but to me, I still think of Spud Web as this scrawny little kid that looked more like Steve Urkel than a future NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner.
