The 2002 Cadillac Anderson
Award Winners
Greg "Cadillac" Anderson was so much more than an unattractive power
forward.  He provided countless people with entertainment, humor and most
importantly, hope.  Hope that they too could someday overcome their
resemblence to Drac from
Enemy Mine.  It is with this spirit in mind that we
present this year's All-Cadillac 1st and 2nd Teams.
1st Team All-Cadillac
The back-court duo of Francis
and Cassell might very well be
the most unattractive in NBA
history (excluding the Dennis
Johnson/Calvin Murphy tandem
of the late 70's).  Francis, in all
liklihood, will be a 1st-teamer
for life.
Trivia question: who is the only
player to be a member of the
All-Cadillac Team while still in
college?  Answer: Sam Cassell.
While at Florida State, Cassell's
head was the same size it is now even though he weighed 45 pounds less; oddly enough, he is uglier now.
Miller is a newcomer to the
team, but nonetheless a true
legend-in-the-making.  The
Magic have a formidable
"Fugly-Factor" with the
emergence of Tracy
McGrady and his Popeye
Jones-like wandering eye.
Steve Francis
Sam Cassell
Mike Miller
Popeye Jones
Jones recieves more attention than the others, and rightfully so.  He makes Cadillac Anderson look like Pamela Anderson.  His
"Sloth-Factor" is astronomical (to the point where the producers of
Goonies II desperately courted him due the death of John Matuszak).  League officials are considering separating the All-Cadillac Teams into sub-sections, with the first-team being renamed the "All-Popeye
Bunch" in tribute to him.  Jones is a lock for the forthcoming "All Dennis Johnson First Team," the
ugliest players in NBA history.  He may be the first player accepted to Springfield based solely on looks.
Georghe Muresan
No compilation of this
sort can ever be complete
without Ghorghe.  The
panel members are well
aware of the fact that he no
longer plays in the NBA,
but it doesn't really matter. 
Federal law mandates that
Muresan be the focal point
of all Cadillac-related
teams through the year
2025.  It is out of our
control.  That is the type of presence this man has in the "Ugly Industry."  Imagine this: had Gheorhe not
retired, he would have been paired with Popeye last year with the Wizards.  The
comedic level of those games would have been historic.  Wizards apparel would be the hottest items in sports.
2nd Team All-Cadillac
Chris Crawford

Looks like Kubiak from
Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
Dikembe Mutumbo

Dropped from 1st team for first time in 11 seasons.
Jamal Mashburn

Prolonged association with the Hornets has made him much uglier.
Arvydas Sabonis

Wears a size 16 fitted hat.
Tyrone Hill

The first time that a potential "ugliest-player-in-NBA-history" got dropped to second team.

We are blessed to live in an age full of so many potential All-Cadillac Team members.  The
exponantial growth in unattractive basketball players has led to the formulation of a multitude of
awards, including the "Charlotte Hornets Memorial Ugliest Team in the League Award."  The
CHMUTLA is a tribute to the 2000-2001 Charlotte team that boasted perhaps the most unattractive
starting five in professional basketball's long and ugly history (including the hideous 1980's
Celtics); its constituents included Mashburn, Elden Campbell, Baron Davis, and David Wesley. 
Though the award is yet to be distributed, inside sources say that the New Orleans Hornets are
frontrunner (of course), followed closely by the Dallas Mavericks (Popeye Jones, Shawn Bradley,
Walt Williams and Dirk Nowitzki).  Expect the award presentation within the month.
