    I'd go with Patrick Ewing.

    Anyone remember a few years back they came out with an all ugly team? Cassell and Kenny Smith made that team.... help me, somebody with research skills!

    Yes, Yes, Yes!!! :D

    I was so worried at the start of the season, not so much about his performance (since McGrady is notorious for slow starts), but I was really concerned about how he was talking about himself. I almost started to believe him. It seems as if it was more of a self-confidence issue than a physical one.

    well, you are right, it depends.. when I said 4th quarter is Tmac's time, I meant that he should TOUCH the ball every single possession offensively... Tmac's is great because of his ability to make good decisions in crucial times.. give him the ball, and he will create.. if gets double teamed, he will pass it to the open man or he'll go down to Yao... what I am saying is, Tmac should RUN the overall offense in the 4th...

    I'm glad T-Mac FINALLY realized that without him this team is going nowhere and he needs to take control sometimes and be a bit more selfish, at least in the 4th, unless his shot AND layups are horribly off.

    I think the starting all ugly backcourt was Sammy and Reggie Miller. Reggie was on the Dan Patrick radio show when Dan brought up the All Ugly Team selection. Reggie was much offended for being in the same backcourt as Cassell, apparently he didn't think he was that ugly. :)

    regardless he is right or wrong.. I just don't think such words help building the chemistry. but maybe this quote is out of the context..
