N.B.Ayyyyyy: 20 Hot Reasons To Keep Your Eyes On The Court
I like to watch basketball for a few reasons: it's a fast-paced game, it's easy to learn the rules, and the quarters move a lot quicker than football. However, there's another amazing reason to watch basketball: the players.
I mean, not only are these men athletic smoke-shows with nice arms, but all of them are also tall. A lot of them are tall tall *cue swoon*. It's officially basketball season, and here are 20 of the hottest players that make watching the game a little more enjoyable.
Kemba Walker: Boston Celtics
This smile has me melting. The recently signed Celtics player is what dreams are made of. I'm wishing on every four-leaf clover that I'll someday meet the beautiful work of art that is this man.
Stephen Curry: Golden State Warriors
Steph Curry has a killer three-pointer, but it has nothing on those stunning eyes and smile. Curry may play for the Warriors, but he doesn't have to fight for our hearts.
Giannis Antetokounmpo: Milwaukee Bucks
When I say "six", you say "eleven"! This 24-year-old Greek cutie who stands one inch short of 7' is an agile, smart player on the court, and I would definitely let him play with my feelings.
Gordon Hayward: Boston Celtics
Gordon Hayward is the reason I started watching basketball, and then when he got injured in 2017, I had to actually learn to like the sport. Luckily, he's recovered since so I can continue to drool over him.
Al Horford: Philadelphia 7
Apart from the obviously amazing features Al has (hot arms, sharp jawline, the perfect five o'clock shadow, etc.), his eyelashes are so luxuriously long that I don't know if I'm jealous or in love with him (both is the answer).
Ben Simmons: Philadelphia 76ers
This Australian hottie makes me want to latch onto him like a koala and never let go. In the words of Taylor Swift: "I was like, OH MY GOD LOOK AT HIS FACE."
Kawhi Leonard: L.A. Clippers
This fun guy is fresh off his second NBA Championship and NBA Finals MVP, but we're also in awe of his fresh braids and his (rarely seen) smile. I'm just saying board man could get laid.
Kelly Oubre Jr.: Phoenix Suns
I'm sweating: between the tattoos, great hair, soulful hazel eyes, and just all-around well-constructed facial features, I feel totally *heart eyes* about this 23-year-old New Orleans native. Kelly, if you see this, my DMs are open.
Kevin Love: Cleveland Cavaliers
What's not to love? Kevin's beautiful face and beard are the only things that could convince me to move to Cleveland, and he's making a pretty strong argument for me to pack my bags and head to Ohio.
Mike Conley: Utah Jazz
Mike Conley just looks like the kind of man who would treat me right. Look at that face: it screams "I care about your feelings" while also being super duper cute.
Meyers Leonard: Miami Heat
Of course the Miami Heat traded for Leonard this year: he's so hot. He plays the position of center on the court, but he's also the center of our attention when we watch.
Paul George: L.A. Clippers
This six-time NBA All-Star is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league and also one of the best-looking snacks in the game. His moniker might be PG-13, but my thoughts on him are not.
Victor Oladipo: Indiana Pacers
His unbelievably smooth skin and facial features look like they were carved by Michelangelo himself. Somebody get me a heart pacer my pulse is racing over this man when he's on the court.
Joe Harris: Brooklyn Nets
I'll be honest: I never really paid attention to the Nets until Joe Harris started playing for them, and now I catch a lot of their games just for the visual appeal of this man.
Zach LaVine: Chicago Bulls
He's a two-time NBA dunk contest winner, but he's also won over my heart with that face. This 24-year-old is a player to watch for his future potential, or to watch just for the sake of looking at him.
Blake Griffin: Detroit Pistons
I want you to take a moment and just look at this man. Look at those arms. Look at that beard. Now tell me you don't appreciate the view: you can't. Period.
Danilo Gallinari: L.A. Clippers
Buongiorno, Sir! This 6'10" Italian stallion is not just a snack, he's a whole meal and we are all starving. I'm just saying I could hold onto his arm tighter than that sleeve.
Kyle Lowry: Toronto Raptors
He's one of the shorter players in the league, but what this long-time Raptor lacks in height he makes up for in looks. He's got a cute face and is dummy thicc.
Derrick Rose: Detroit Pistons
Normally I would be mad if a guy looked better than me with a ponytail, but I'll make an exception for the 31-year-old point guard. When he's on the court, my thoughts are just D Rose D Rose D Rose, Lil' Pump style.
Klay Thompson: Golden State Warriors
Okay, so you won't be seeing him on the court this season because he's out for the year with an injury from last year's finals, but he's still a pretty sight from the bench.
