Eye Candy of the Week: Next Generation of NBA Hotties

Eye Candy of the Week: Next Generation of NBA Hotties
By · June 23, 2010October 29, 2020
01
Holler Back Youngins’

When we heard that a few hot NBA rookies and draftees were headed to Sean John’s NYC flagship to get fitted for suits, you know we just had to be there to stare at the future stars of the NBA get all dolled up. Now it’s your turn.

02
King on His Throne

Former University of Kentucky center Demarcus Cousins was selected fifth overall in the NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings. The cutie rolled up to the Sean John boutique in a convertible Maserati provided to all the ballers for the event. We wouldn’t mind riding shotgun next to this young stud.

03
Patrick Patterson

Just drafted to the Houston Rockets, former University of Kentucky power forward Patrick Patterson picked up a few items to keep himself looking good and smelling sexy.

04
Looking Forward to More

Former Ohio State Shooting Guard Evan Turner is definitely one to watch — we could stare at him all day, actually. The number two pick in the draft, this Philadelphia 76er has a promising future.

05
Man of the Hour

2010 Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans swung by in a Maserati to show the draftees how ballers do it. He says his favorite outfit on a woman is “the little black dress.”

06
Inch by Inch

We’re kind of jealous of this tailor. We’d like to measure these guys’ inseams.

07
Derrick Favors

Drafted third overall by the New Jersey Nets, former Georgia Tech power forward Derrick Favors got outfitted for success. Look at that cute smile. It’s enough to make a grown woman feel like a school girl. Swoon!

08
Keep it Clean

2010 NBA All-Rookie Team player Taj Gibson strolled through Sean John in a crisp white tee and dark denim jeans. A classic look for a smooth baller.

09
Doesn’t Take Much

Now an Indiana Pacer, six-foot-nine former Fresno State Bulldog Paul George doesn’t need to do anything to make us drool. Just stand there. Sigh.

10
Gone Pro

Demarcus Cousins looks like he’s ready for the big time in this suit. We wouldn’t mind taking the young stunner out on the town. He cleans up quite nicely.

11
Evan Turner

Q: What’s sexier than a tall, dark and handsome man in a suit?

A: Nothing.

12
Strike a Pose

Patrick Patterson gives us his B-Ball stance before exiting the store.

13
It Takes Two

We can’t help but stare at these two star rookies taking a moment to talk about the game. Mmm. Two hot NBA players really are better than one.

14
All American

Former Iowa State Forward Wesley Johnson is now a Minnesota Timberwolf. He may the Midwests’ new best kept secret.

15
Fix Up, Look Sharp

The guys check out some fine men’s grooming products. We want to rub the shaving cream (sub whipped cream) onto their chiseled jaws and chins.

16
All Dressed Up

Tyreke Evans looks good in his suit. We can’t help but wonder what the Sacramento King would look like out of it.
