A basketball WAG, albeit a very short-lived one

Carmen Electra is known for her inexplicable marriage to rock goblin Dave Navarro, as the couple documented their doomed relationship in front of MTV’s cameras. Prior to meeting the Jane’s Addiction axeman, the Baywatch star was a basketball WAG, thanks to her marriage to gigantic nutter Dennis Rodman in a “state of intoxication”. Their holy union lasted just ten days, or, depending on how you look at it, until the point when they sobered up.

Some unpronounceable hotness from the States

After seeking the blessing of her grandparents, Texan model Hope Dworaczyk recently made the incredibly wise decision to pose for Playboy. The Playmate of the Month appeared on the April 2009 cover (alongside Seth Rogen for no particular reason), showing the world what Dallas Mavericks basketballer Jason Kidd gets to come home to every day…

Basketballer wins a game with final throw of overtime

Things couldn’t have been any closer in last night’s basketball game between the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers: in the final second of overtime (that’s American for “extra time”), the former were winning 99-98. Then, Portland’s Brandon Ray (American for “Barry Raymond”) fired in a thirty-yard-three-pointer as the buzzer (American for “final whistle”) went, stealing a result for his team. It was super awesome (”jolly splendid”).

Underdressed women divert Mr B’s attention from the LA Lakers

Poor old David Beckham. Whenever he goes to basketball games, hordes of cheerleaders start parading their wares right in front of his eyes. When the Portland Trail Blazers visited the Staples Center on Tuesday, Becks couldn’t help but take a peek at the LA Lakers hotpanted troupe.

The Daily Mail - who seem to have single-handidly hate-mongered Russell Brand out of a job - refer to Becks as a ‘rubbernecker’ and an ‘ogler’, but there are attractive women in tiny outfits literally standing right in front of him. Would any man (or woman) in the world be able to resist looking?
