  Is he wrong? I mean, Terry Porter and Sam Cassell alone put their respective teams in the running, but I don't think there's an uglier team than one that includes Chief, Frankenstein, and
  the 'Stache of Legend.

  Wouldn't Charles Barkley calling someone ugly be a case of the pot calling the kettle black?

  The Chuck Wagon was right.... those were some ugly guys.  But all those rings and banners sure were pretty.

  If you look at that picture with the five Celtics, the most attractive one there is actually Bill Walton. Bill Walton! When Walton is your coverboy, you know your team is ugly to the point of historic proportions.

    Luke Walton is pretty dreamy though. I can imagine thinking Bill was hot if I was of age in that era.

Barkley: Man, Those Celtics Were Ugly

... to say something outrageous. And say something outrageous he did, when interviewed on NESN about the new look Celtics. Thanks to Larry Brown Sports for the transcription: You know the Celtics, their uniforms have gotten better. And they got a better looking team, because in the 80s, with McHale, Bird, and Parish, they had the ugliest team in NBA history. They had Bill Walton [he] was ugly too. I think their team is much better looking with Paul and Ray and Kevin. But their uniforms have gotten better and their team has gotten much better looking in the 2000s. Everyone's going nuts over his calling the 1980's Celts ugly (they were), but the real shocker is the Chuckster's attack on the old unis. Last I checked, that look was among the most iconic in sports history. No one's really saying that about Phoenix's ...

... Charles Barkley is back at it with his usual antics. With this comment late in August, he declared the Celtics squads of the 80’s “the ugliest team in NBA history”.  Speaking of ugly and the 80’s, the Round Mound of Rebound secured one of the NBA’s lesser-known records on March 4, 1987 while with the Sixers.  Against the Knicks in the first half, he grabbed 13 offensive rebounds to set the mark for most offensive rebounds by one player in a half.  You can see the boxscore to that game ...

He better hope that none of his constituents are Boston Celtics fans. ...
