With the NBA season starting next week, I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on the sexiest players. And the players most looking forward to watching. I know that this has probably been discussed before, just wanted to put it out there now.

Wally Szczerbiak

Michael Doleac

Mark Madsen

College - Sean Connolly at OSU

yum to all above !

Wally Szczerbiak!!....no one else in the NBA even belongs in his league as far as looks are concerned -- what a stud!

I have a weird thing for Matt Geiger of the Sixers. I'm developing a not-so-weird thing for new Sixer Matt Harpring.

And keeping with my Matt theme, is Matt Maloney still in the league? He was with Houston, and I think he ended up with Atlanta last year. An Ivy Leaguer from Penn....very yummy!

I agree with many above... but here's another: John Crotty, Utah Jazz... he has this habit of looking into the stands and adjusting his very ample basket before he sits down (viewed from 3 rows behing the home team bench, this is pretty amazing to watch)

I have blocked off my schedule to go see the newly relocated Memphis Grizzles play the Minnesota Timberwolves, simply because of Wally Szczerbiak. Yummo.

Someone else who has a great bod is Bob Sura. I also dig Dan Majerle. Guess I need to mark a few more on the calendar!

Dan Majerle
Alonzo Mourning
Wally Szczerbiak
Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant

Vince Carter.

I'll have a Wally Szczerbiak-Matt Harpring sandwich to go. Damn fine feast!

ZO MOURNING

DAN MAJERLE

allan houston is FINE.

wally ain't so bad himself, and kobe's definitely a cutie. i've got a soft spot in my heart, for some reason, for dana barros, though i don't know if he'll be in the league this year...

Rick Fox is gorgeous! I also like Alonzo a lot! Barros is real hot, Vince Carter, Kobe, Stackhouse, I ove 'em all, but Fox is definitely DA BOMB!!!

WALLY! WALLY! WALLY!

Wally gets excited:

Wally-boy

1.Vince Carter

2. The rest of the NBA

Wally, GHill, TMac, Sam Jacobson and Kobe.

Further down my list would be Harping, Maloney, Corey Maggette and Zo.

Wally

Hands down...i would have his babies....

Bob Sura of Golden State and Wally Szczerbiak of the T-wolves get my vote.

Since Wally is going to be VERY busy with the rest of you, I'll pick that cuddly-studly Charlotte Horney guard BRYCE DREW ...... sigh

Bryce and Friend

Starks isn't bad at all either and I totally forgot about Sura and Dana in Detroit.

Does anyone else find Jason Kidd sexy? Or is he an ass****?

Yep. I find him hot and sexy. But he's also an ass****!

Attention Bryce Drew fans:
http://www.pathblazer.org/bryce_drew.htm

Wow, an NBA player talkin openly about remaining "sexually abstinent until marriage"....in this day and age of professional athletes fathering dozens of illegitimate children (especially in the NBA - can you say Shawn Kemp?) this is a surprising revelation....I always thought Bryce was very cute -- maybe none of the women he's met have been "enticing" enough for him and he needs to stop by my house to "discuss" some other options

The three sexiest dudes in the NBA:

Jason Kidd--those eyes
Chris Webber--that complexion, that smile
Steve Nash--that attitude, that grin

Nice, varied list CatcherinNY. And nobody can accuse you of having a "type"!

LOL
Hey George

I'll put it to you this way: Check out my screen name and that'll tell you what my "type" is if I do, in fact, have much of one...in other words, if I had a choice, I'd tend to like "pitchers"...<g>

..or is that too much information? <g>

No its not too much information. In fact, maybe its not enough!

Always looking for an excuse to use an exsting thread, here's former Jayhawk Eric Chenowith (drafted by the Knicks (cut before the season) but currently playing in the NBA Development League):

JO of the Pacers....he gets hotter each year. He has such an innocent face. Also Austin Croshere of the Pacers....yummy! There are tons of hot NBA players.....I just wish I could see them in the locker rooms so I could make a "decisive" decision....HA!!!

Parting must have been such sweet sorrow:

oops, site expired! Sorry for the loading problems.

What a picture! Was Tracy whispering sweet nothings to Vince to make him blush like that?

While Christian Laettner has been a bit of a dud in the NBA, has anyone heard the gay rumors about him? Seems in college, he and another guy would smooch in public. Christian says it was just to freak people out. Anyone heard anything?

I was in the triangle area (he he) of North Carolina in grad school when Christian was playing in college and got to to see quite alot of Duke, UNC, and NCState; so when I saw this last post, alot of memories came rushing back. I always thought Laetner was gay and thought he would actually be the first openly gay professional player. I always felt he and Grant Hill were an item. If you were to watch replays of their games, you can notice something going on between the two of them and it seemed to me to be less than discrete. Who knows?

I saw it as just good chemistry between th two. It makes for great teamwork, gay or straight. But it's a lovely thought...

In the Tracy McGrady/Vince Carter photo I see something affectionate between them, but I'd be the last to exclude American straight guys from the ranks of men capable of public displays of affection. It's beautiful either way.

Tracy and Vince are cousins. Tracy has also been rumored to be very gay. Wow. Two NBA, superstar gay cousins. They should come out at the same time. That would be a story!

Christian laettner has talked about kissing his team mates (on the lips) he said in sports illustrated that his parents freaked out when they saw it on TV during a game. (hey! I wanna be skins with Laettner for the 4 on 4) I think Duke was playing at Syracuse or something.
And yes I do think he is beautiful.

Other sexy guys? Drew is a cutie. Toni Kukoc is a hottie. But nobody is a sex-on-wheels like Matt Harpring. OH BABY!!!

There was a persistent rumor around campus about Christian Laettner and Brian Davis (so obviously gay that it was always laughable when he trotted out his newest poster-babe with boobies). This was among EVERYONE... gay, str8, athletes,... all the "crowds" knew about it, and nobody cared because the ass**** (the other persistent rumor -- ok, it was a fact) was a great basketball player.
Christian is rude, obnoxious, self-centered, egomaniacal and fine as aged wine. He knows all of that, and he does not care at all. There are several better-looking players in the NBA(IMO), but I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents about my fellow Blue Devil alum.

I know this doesn't mean anything but didn't Laettner go and get married a while back?

Vince after breaking up with Tracy:

Same as above!

Checking his package:

Ditto!

He'll survive.

My baby needs a hug!

Rick Fox is still DA MAN!!! But how about Eddie Jones? SEXY!!!!

Somebody asked up above about Jason Kidd. When he was in college, I thought he was UGLY... but he's grown to be a beautiful man. I know he's got baggage, but that doesn't stop him from being downright hot. I also think there's a hot man in Brian Grant, underneath all that hair. Wally definitely gets it done for me.

Bob Sura, Wally Szczerbiak, Bryce Drew, Matt Harpring and Brent Price (I know Brent retired last year due to recurring injuries but he's still incredibly cute)....yummmm....now that's what I call a great lookin team.

Christian did go off and get married, and I believe that they had a kid or two. Not sure about the kids thing, but he did get married. Not sure whether they are still together.
Bob Sura?!!! Are u kidding me?!!!! The biggest of the mean cheers that the Cameron Crazies screamed at opponents was "SURA'S ugly!!!" I always felt sorry for him when they were screaming that, because it was just SOOOO loud, but I will not say that I disagreed with the Crazies. Whatever gets it done for u though...

Lakers, what is up with Rick Fox and the hair or the lack thereof? The bald head if not flattering to him.

Some others previously not mentioned:
Eric Snow, George Lynch, Wang ZhiZhi, Travis Knight, Ray Allen, Chris Dudley, Cherokee Parks (the tatooos!), Rodney Rogers (the biceps!), Jud Buechler (the first name!, the ears!). Whew. I better stop now...

Rick Fox is pretty hot, Wally is handsome as heck, but Jason Kidd is the most beautiful man in the NBA.

I agree with Rudy. Jason Kidd is amazing. Honorable mention:
Predrag -- it's the boyishness
Steve Smith -- it's the manliness
Danny Ferry -- it's the...baldness!

laettner did get married and has a baby daughter. But I can speak first hand that having a wife is NOT necessarily a reflection of sexual orientation.
