Meanest-Looking Player from Every NBA Team

They used to call former NBA great Gary Payton's dad "Mr. Mean" for the natural scowl he wore on his face. These guys from each NBA team fall right in that category.

For some of them, it is more than just a look, they are down right surly. None more than the poster child for indignant demeanor, KG.

Check out the complete list of angry-faced ballers.

Boston Celtics: Kevin Garnett

KG is perhaps the league's biggest bully. The evil look is more about demeanor than it is about his actual face. KG scowls and makes all types of face machinations, as Clark Kellogg would say.

It seems KG knows who to pull the schoolyard bully act with, though. Notice how his aggression drops when he's not punking the likes of Channing Frye and any random NBA point guard.

I used to love KG, now he's an old, aging, surly version of one of the greatest power forwards ever. Somebody hug this angry man.

New Jersey Nets: Dan Gadzuric

Gadzuric is a hard-nosed, physical NBA center. He has above-average athleticism for a player his size (6'10"), but what makes him the meanest-looking New Jersey Net is the combination of his reckless style and that aloof look he always seems to have on his face.

He looks like the guy from high school who semi-stalks his old friends because he wants to get the old band back together. Now that's pretty mean.

New York Knicks: Renaldo Balkman

Balkman's display in an international game showed he can certainly be mean. Besides that, Balkman looks like a lion, not like Mufasa (ooh, say it again), more like Scar, bad lion.

Surely he's nice guy, isn't he?

Philadelphia 76ers: Andres Nocioni

Noce was voted the third-dirtiest player in the NBA by his peers. Despite that, Nocioni has a look of a guy who would do anything to stop you from scoring or keep you from a rebound.

He doesn't care if it results in stitches for you or him.

Toronto Raptors: Reggie Evans

Don't let that smile fool you, Reggie Evans is a testicle-grabbing, b-ball maniac, and that smile hides a dastardly style of play. What's meaner than a smile that hides testicular mischief?

Reggie hasn't fooled any of his peers; they voted him the dirtiest player in the NBA. I'm sure Chris Kaman voted twice.

Chicago Bulls: Keith Bogans

Bogans' snarl is pretty impressive. If this basketball thing doesn't work out (wait a minute, it isn't working out that well), he has a career as a professional mean-mugger in rap videos.

He looks like he should do voice overs for mix tapes. 

Cleveland Cavaliers: Luke Harangody

Harangody doesn't see a lot of minutes, but he is a pretty intimidating guy. Despite his bulk, he has a very frustrated look. There is something very Gary Busey about him.

I can't quite put my figure on it, but it makes me uncomfortable—next slide, please.

Detroit Pistons: Ben Wallace

For everything I've ever read or seen of Ben Wallace, he seems to be the furthest thing from mean. But this is a list of the meanest-looking players, and Wallace certainly looks the part.

He is big, muscular and quiet. That could be mean, especially if you're talking too much or you're Ron Artest. 

Indiana Pacers: Jeff Foster

Foster is one of the dirtiest players in the league, his peers voted him 10th.

I am afraid of any low-talent NBA player that wears a mouth piece.

That just says to me you have the wrong idea about which sport you're about to play.

Milwaukee Bucks: Stephen Jackson

S-Jack punked Dirk Nowitzki so hard in the 2007 NBA playoffs, I was expecting to see Ashton Kutcher come to the scorer's table.

Jackson's scowl and presence is one of the main reasons Dirk was thought to be soft until this past season.

Atlanta Hawks: Zaza Pachulia

Zaza is a fan favorite in Atlanta but not anywhere else. He is another of the top 10 dirtiest players, according to his peers.

That low brow and expressionless disposition makes him look like a Bond villain. For what it's worth, he seems like a fun guy on Twitter.

Charlotte Bobcats: Eduardo Najera

Najera looks more like an MMA fighter than a basketball player. There is a toughness to him that makes you think he's not the one KG will be picking on anytime soon.

Want proof looks can be deceiving? It was hard finding a picture with Najera not smiling, let alone looking menacing.

Miami Heat: Udonis Haslem

Miami Heat veteran Udonis Haslem has a very no-nonsense look and style of play.

He is very well respected for his work ethic, but the fact that he is fully tatted with that all-business scowl doesn't hurt, either.

Orlando Magic: Daniel Orton

Big Daniel Orton doesn't play much behind Dwight Howard, but when I picture what the Gooch from Different Strokes looked like, I see him.

Washington Wizards: Josh Howard

You would think Josh would be much more mellow, but he certainly has a mean side.

Videos dissing the President of the United States is a pretty angry action, but hey, it's a free country, even for mean Josh.

Golden St. Warriors: Louis Amundson

Amundson is probably a great guy, but he carries a bit of a bad-ass aura.

From his short ponytail to his old college hairdo, that made him look like a psychotic Justin Bieber.

Los Angeles Clippers: Chris Kaman

Men with premature balding issues tend to look mean. Trust me, I'm not only the president, I'm also a client.

When he lets it grow long, it makes him look like an angry dodge ball instructor.

LA Lakers: Matt Barnes

Matt Barnes keeps a scowl on his face. He has a mirror in his pocket and he practices looking hard.

He fashions himself quite the bully, but that's a hard sale when you're a popular personality on Basketball Wives.

Phoenix Suns: Markieff Morris

Morris is a rookie for the Phoenix Suns. He and his identical twin, Marcus Morris, obviously have the same tough-guy look.

Markieff gets the mean mug look edge for the Suns because not one Sun looks mean or tough.

Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Sacramento Kings: DeMarcus Cousins

The Kings' young big man has one of the most unapproachable faces in the NBA.

He just looks like there will be a short and abrasive answer to just about any question you ask him.

Dallas Mavericks: Brian Cardinal

Cardinal should be arraigned for some of the fouls he applied to opponents in the postseason.

He also has that crazed gym-teacher look, like he would have you start your swim lessons on the deep end while he walked out of the area.

Houston Rockets: Luis Scola

Scola is one of the strongest and toughest players in the league.

Front-court players know they've been in a battle when they bang with Scola for 38 minutes. He looks like a 6'9" Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men...call it.

Memphis Grizzlies: Zach Randolph

I can count the times I've seen Z-Bo smile. OK, I'm done.

Randolph has the look of a man with almost no sense of humor. I'm sure that perception is wrong, but Zach's scowl doesn't promote laughter.

New Orleans Hornets: Carl Landry

Any guy that gets shot in the leg and comes back in like a couple weeks is mean, tough, crazy or all of the above.

Landry is a strong low-post scorer despite being a little undersized. Landry is another player that strictly rations his smiles.

San Antonio Spurs: DeJuan Blair

Blair certainly looks like a defensive end. His gritty style of play adds to the demeanor.

I'd be mean, too, if I were playing with about two strands of cartilage in my knees.

Denver Nuggets: Kenyon Martin

This was about the easiest pick sans KG with the Celtics.

K-Mart has a tattoo (no not that one) on his chest that says "bad-ass yella boy."

Compound that with his Twitter rant and his overall nasty demeanor, Martin is a mean-looking dude.

Minnesota Timberwolves: Darko Milicic

This was possibly the hardest of all the selections.

No T'Wolves player really looks mean. I chose Darko because he has to have pissed off a GM or two in his eight-year career. 

What he did to the Detroit Pistons was downright mean?

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kendrick Perkins

Easy: Perk all day, every day.

He would have given KG a run for the meanest-looking Celtic had he not been traded.

Perk looks like Young Jeezy with a bad case of hemorrhoids. 

Portland Trailblazers: Greg Oden

Greg Oden is perhaps the meanest-looking player in the league.

That of course, couldn't be further from the truth. Oden looks like he was caught in the middle of a mutation and boy, is he angry about it.

Utah Jazz: Enes Kanter

Utah rookie Enes Kanter has a natural scowl.

He looks like David Tua and Rony Seikaly some how produced a descendant. He'll be happier, as will I when this lockout is finally over.
