			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While contemplating the 2010 Celtics&#8217; stunning void of imposing physiques&#8230;or, more pointedly, the impressive collection of unimpressive bodies they are able to run out on the parquet floor at any given moment, it inspired us to compile a Top 10 List of CURRENT NBA players who eschew the weight room&#8230;apparently at all costs. We chose current players, because we think visiting the gym must have been the exception for <a href="http://www.basketball.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/lakers_4748.jpg">generations past</a>, when lifting was out, but belts were in.</p>
<p>Without further ado, and in no particular order, we give you our Top 10 Weight Room-Challenged NBA players&#8230;</p>
<p>10. <strong>Paul Pierce. AKA &#8220;The Truth&#8221;.</strong> The truth is, he could stand to lift a few weights. He was almost excused from this list because he got <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/story?id=100441&#038;page=1">stabbed in the face</a> in 2000. He must be a badass&#8230;even though some contend he was faking those injuries as well.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/fuck-kobe.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-297" title="nba_pierce_400" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/nba_pierce_400.jpg" alt="nba_pierce_400" width="400" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>9. <strong>Brian Scalabrine.</strong> Though this list is in no particular order, Brian was #1 on our &#8220;Top 10 NBA guys who look like <a href="http://www2.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/McDonald+Star+Celebrity+Game+5TRODfFtuqrl.jpg">Michael Rappaport</a>&#8220;. He actually came in as numbers 1 &#8211; 9 and Matt Bonner finishing the list at #10.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-298" title="brian_scalabrine" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/brian_scalabrine.jpg" alt="brian_scalabrine" width="512" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>8. <strong>Jared Dudley.</strong> Somehow this guy went on the Steve Nash No Sugar diet and got even softer since college. And the backstreet beard isn&#8217;t helping angulate that jaw. At all.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-300" title="Dudley" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Dudley1.jpg" alt="Dudley" width="720" height="900" /></p>
<p>7. <strong>Rudy Fernandez.</strong> Can someone please send us a pic of this guy firing up a cigarette during a timeout? We know something like that exists.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever/gap-in-our-defense.html"><img src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/rudy-fernandez.jpg" alt="rudy-fernandez" title="rudy-fernandez" width="450" height="678" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-313" /></a></p>
<p>6. <strong>Zach Randolph</strong>. ZeRo is not his bodyfat %.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-302" title="82921740JM022_Grizz_PC 82921740JM001_Randolph_PC 82921740JM001" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/zach-randolph.jpg" alt="82921740JM022_Grizz_PC 82921740JM001_Randolph_PC 82921740JM001" width="474" height="700" /></a></p>
<p>5. <strong>Marc Gasol.</strong> Marc wins this battle of the Gasol brothers everytime. Kudos though, it appears Marc <a href="http://img.saliraganar.com/2008/02/marcgasol_grizzlie.jpg">trimmed up a bit this season</a>. And got himself McConaughey hair do to match his new physique.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-303" title="MarcGasol" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/MarcGasol.jpg" alt="MarcGasol" width="410" height="594" /></a></p>
<p>4. <strong>Chris Kaman.</strong> Not even sure what to say. At least the hair went. Well it went a while back, we should say at least the haircut (or lack thereof) went. We would gladly take Kaman on our team, however.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-304" title="chris-kaman" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/chris-kaman.jpg" alt="chris-kaman" width="395" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>3. <strong>Mehmet Okur.</strong> Will someone get this guy a Mehmo about where to find the gym? He&#8217;s no <a href="http://www.nba.com/media/jazz/ostertag_800_0304.jpg">Ostertag</a>, but someone had to carry on the soft, Utah Jazz center position tradition.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-305" title="mehmet_okur" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/mehmet_okur.jpg" alt="mehmet_okur" width="255" height="255" /></a></p>
<p>2. <strong>Charlie Villanueva.</strong> Not this <a href="http://albuelo.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/mayrin_villanueva-08.jpg">Villenueva</a>, who we are fairly sure works out&#8230; Alopecia is an excuse for wearing a headband to board meetings, but no excuse for being puddingy.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever.html"><img src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/charlie-villanueva.jpg" alt="charlie-villanueva" title="charlie-villanueva" width="290" height="428" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-317" /></a></p>
<p>1. <strong>Sheed.</strong> His game is pretty soft now too.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-307" title="Sheed" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Sheed.png" alt="Sheed" width="400" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>So, those are our ten. Please feel free to chime in if you feel we&#8217;ve missed someone who may have missed a few workouts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever/philthy.html"><img alt="" src="http://www.4thandforever.com/media/catalog/product/cache/4/image/430x510/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/F/F/FFM100_9.jpg" title="Wilt The Stilt" class="aligncenter" width="430" height="510" /></a></p>
<p>You&#8217;d like to think one has to achieve something, anything, at the highest level to be given a nickname. That, or something equally dubious. <em><a href="http://slanchreport.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/wiltintro.jpg">&#8220;Wilt the Stilt&#8221;</a></em> has done both. Evidently, as this faily comprehensive <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_basketball_player_nicknames">list of NBA nicknames</a> points out, you don&#8217;t often have to do much.</p>
<p>We say &#8220;fairly comprehensive&#8221; because though it has <a href="http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/0902/nba.dunk.contest.winners/images/1984-larry-nance.jpg">&#8220;The High-Ayatolla of Slamola&#8221;</a> assigned correctly (we assume) to Larry Nance, it has some glaring omissions like <a href="http://heylarryhughespleasestoptakingsomanybadshots.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/kvh1_cropped.jpg">&#8220;Pale Rider&#8221; for Keith Van Horn</a>. Maybe if a <a href="http://411chatter.com/images/jayson-williams-arrested.jpg">murderer</a> gives you a nickname it doesn&#8217;t count.</p>
<p>We think the best one on this list may be the nickname supposedly bestowed <em>by</em> <a href="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kurm7hpc961qay78vo1_500.jpg">&#8220;The Round Mound Of Rebound&#8221;</a> <em>to</em> Sam Cassell, and that is: &#8220;Gollum&#8221;. We were always kind of partial to Ant Man, until reading that. It is kind of rough, because, admittedly, Cassell&#8217;s game is one of our all time favorites.<br />
<a href="http://www.4thandforever.com/"><img src="http://www.4thandforever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sam-cassell-gollum.jpg" alt="sam-cassell-gollum" title="sam-cassell-gollum" width="500" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-290" /></a></p>
<p>Please supply us with any nicknames you like, but didn&#8217;t see on the list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Craig Sager never ceases to amaze the staff here at 4th &amp; Forever. We were watching the Suns vs. Lakers (<a title="Fuck Kobe Bryant T-Shirt" href="http://www.4thandforever.com/shop-4th-and-forever/fuck-kobe.html" target="_self">Fuck Kobe</a>) last night, and our jaws dropped when we peeped his black and white plaid blazer with a ruffled pocket square and decided today would be dedicated to Craig Sager image searchers. Please enjoy the Top 10 Worst Suits worn by Craig Sager. And please, if anyone has some insight as to what drives this mans wardrobe decisions, please chime in.</p>
