The O’Brien Hall of Fame

A Listing of Players that have made the game more fun, intentionally or not…

First Ballot Hall of Famers

The one, the only…Oliver Miller

You’ve got to hand it to a man like Oliver Miller. Unfortunately, I never really got to see the man play a whole lot. However, his obesity is the stuff of legend. Though I hear his talent usually was what overshadowed his horrid weight problem, I will forever think of him as what he should be: a player that was only in the NBA because he was a fat, fat bastard. Ahhh,

Splendid.

Todd “The God” MacCulloch

When you talk about a superstar, I will hit you if you don’t at least bring up good ‘ol Todd’s name. With career averages of 6+ points and 4+ rebounds a game, let’s just say that Kevin Garnett would dream to have his talent. Todd is elegant and wonderful. If I had a daughter, I would force her to have sex with Todd so she could know what it is like to be happy. Todd is strong but gentle. Todd is the next Bo Jackson, only far cooler.

Darius “Enter Lame Disease Pun” Kasparaitis

I challenge you to find a more lovably terrible player than Kasparaitis. I nearly hung up my Pittsburgh jersey when I found out that they had let him go to Colorado. He stands as one of my top all-time favorite athletes. All of that aside, he also has a gift for hurting people really badly. What he did to Eric Lindros was one of the most beautifully destructive things I may ever see. Come home Kasper, come home.

“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan

Some may say that professional wrestlers are not athletes. Well, those of you who want to prove them wrong, just send them to Hacksaw Jim Duggan. With brutally handsome good looks and enough charisma to light a Christmas tree, I would only be somewhat perturbed if this man up and decided to hit me in the head with a large block of wood. Quite possibly the most beautiful man to ever step foot on this Earth, he’s also one of the most intelligent. Some say he invented alarm clocks.
