For the sports-minded, a lot of sports going on right now. On Sunday, an English South African won the U.S. Open (that’s golf). We’re in the middle of the Stanley Cup Finals (that’s hockey). And tonight could be the final game of the NBA finals between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs — that’s basketball, guys. As evidenced by the boys of Boston and Chicago, there’s a lot more to team sports than balls, bats and pucks. Before it’s too late, then, on the following pages find the men of the Spurs and Heat: an appreciation.

What is with the Spurs and the French? Parker’s mom was a Dutch supermodel, and it shows. Oh, and he was married to Eva Longoria for a while. Then he dumped her ass because he wanted to be available for your fantasies.

I love how there’s like a collection of maybe 8 white players in total on both teams and y’all just so happened to pick 5 of them for the hottest men, really? Mike Miller? Chris Andersen? (Granted he looked hot in that picture but just THAT picture) hell Dwayne Wade isn’t even a cute guy and he looks better than those two and that french guy, girl please. I’m guessing the black men aren’t the type, eh. Typical

@Bee Gaga:

Bee Gaga

There’s something about Danny Green that is just so hawt! His 3-pointers? His dance moves? That black leotard on his left arm? Who knows. Clang, clang, fire up the bomberos!

LeBron, Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, Cory Joseph, Rashard Lewis, Dwyane Wade, Kawhi Leonard, DeJuan Blair, and don’t forget Shane Battier!
Lots of hotness on both teams.
