If you're a Milwaukee Bucks' fan, you've got to love Anthony Mason. You got to love his no-nonsense approach to the game, his down-and-dirty style of play and, of course, his exquisite passing.

Mase passes the ball like few big fellas in the game, now or ever. And, if you're a reporter, you got to love Mase's pull-no-punches style. Mason isn't afraid to say what's on his mind, even if it ruffles a feather or two. Take the Bucks' defense, puh-leeze. While many in the Bucks' organization talk about the team's shoddy defense, and how it must improve for the team to make a legit run at the NBA championship, Mase is, surprise, surprise, more blunt. Much more blunt. Unlike anyone else in the organization, he'll tell you the Bucks stink on defense.
