Eye Candy: NBA Faces We Missed

Eye Candy: NBA Faces We Missed
By · November 27, 2011October 28, 2020
01
Dwyane Wade

We light up when we see Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade hit the court. When’s their first game again? We’ll be 100 percent tuned in!

02
Dwyane Wade

Dwyane always brings the heat to the hoop. Let’s all take a moment and just admire all the goodness the Miami Heat star has to offer.

03
Amar’e Stoudemire

Oh, Amar’e. How do we love thee? Let us count the ways…

04
Amar’e Stoudemire

…shirtless is certainly one of them!

05
Dwight Howard

Orlando Magic honey Dwight Howard has a winning smile we’ve missed so much.

06
Dwight Howard

The lovely Dwight Howard in action.

07
Shannon Brown

Pardon us Monica, but your new hubby is quite easy on the eyes and an ace on the court! He won’t be playing for the Lakers this year but we can’t wait to see which team he lands on!

08
Carmelo Anthony

Oh Melo, we love your smile!

09
Carmelo Anthony

Classy on and off the court, we’ll forever be Melo fans.

10
Kobe Bryant

Each year Kobe Bryant holds his top spot on our NBA Most Wanted list.

11
Kobe Bryant

Kobe is always a class act, and quite a cute one too.

12
Lebron James

Lebron brings the heat wherever he goes, and he’ll always be a winner in our eyes.

13
Lebron James

Just another reason we keep our TVs tuned in to Miami Heat games and our eyes glued to Lebron.

14
Chris Paul

Cutie pie Chris Paul shows off his winning stance and his boyish charm — two things we adore about him.

15
Kemba Walker

Rookie Kemba Walker is the newest recruit on the Charlotte Bobcats and already a hit with the ladies. We’ve been dying to see him bring his skills to the NBA and the moment will finally come.

16
Toney Douglas

New York Knicks point guard Toney Douglas has a seriously sexy pucker to go along with those crazy skills.

17
Thabo Sefolosha

Sexy Swiss shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha has been in Turkey shooting hoops during the lockout but we’re eagerly awaiting his return to Oklahoma City.

18
Lamar Odom

“Khloe and Lamar” star and LA Lakers starter Lamar Odom represents for the bald and beautiful brothers.

19
Matt Barnes

LA Lakers and “Basketball Wives” star Matt Barnes puts the “s” in sexy.

20
Derrick Rose

Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose shows off his sexy stare on the court. We’ll be looking at you too this season Derrick.

21
Trevor Ariza

New Orleans Hornet small forward Trevor Ariza always bring his A-game.

22
Serge Ibaka

Power forward Serge Ibaka took those sexy lips of his over to Madrid to play ball during the lockout and we’re counting down the days until he returns to his home team Oklahoma City.

23
Jameer Nelson

Orlando Magic starter Jameer Nelson’s lips and smirk are a slam dunk!

24
Xavier Henry

Belgium born Memphis Grizzlies star Xavier Henry earns a top spot on our NBA crush list and we’re looking forward to having our eyes glued on him again.

25
Brandon Roy

We’ve had our eye on Portland Trailblazers star Brandon Roy since 2008 and we’re still checking for this cutie pie when we tune into the games.

26
LaMarcus Aldridge

Portland Trail Blazers star LaMarcus Aldridge blazed his way right into our hearts.

27
Kevin Garnett

The former NBA star will probably party it up on May 19.

28
George Hill

Another smile we’ve missed seeing courtside is Spur’s star George Hill’s.

29
Arron Afflalo

Denver Nugget Arron Afflalo lights up the court, and gives us butterflies.

30
Paul George

Indiana Pacers small forward Paul George shows off his sexy profile — one we’ve missed seeing during his swift offense plays. See you soon Paul!
