From Playmates, to R&B songstresses, to Hollywood actresses NBA players pick only the best. So check out the hottest NBA wifeys of the 2010 playoffs...
Serena Williams
COMPLEX SAYS: The younger of the two Williams sisters is currently ranked as the world's number one tennis player. Beside the fact that she rakes in millions of dollars each year thanks to her sponsorships and advertisements, Common probably holla'd after checking her hip flexors and completely forgot about Erykah.
ORIGIN: United States
RATING:
Flavia Pennetta
COMPLEX SAYS: One of the few in the game to beat Serena Williams in three consecutive matches, Pennetta has not yet won a Grand Slam, but persistently plays the court until she scores. Whatever that court might be.
ORIGIN: Italy
RATING:
Ana Ivanovic
COMPLEX SAYS: Okay, we get it. Growing up around Novak Djokovic could definitely influence one's decision to "stroke the racket." Unfortunately, she had a spark when she first started, but now she's just...descent. There's no doubt about her attractive looks, so if she wants to regain her confidence on the court, our doors are always open for her to get back on "top" of her game.
ORIGIN: Serbia
RATING:
Maria Kirilenko
ORIGIN: Russia
COMPLEX SAYS: The Russian bombshell was featured in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and is highly praised for her strong volleying skills. Although she's dating a fellow Russian tennis player at the moment, her assets and skills with the ball are worth be desired.
RATING:
Maria Sharapova
COMPLEX SAYS: Like the Williams, Sharapova's father took his daughter to America to have her enrolled in an esteemed tennis academy without any guarantees. Luckily, she grew up to be a 6 feet tall Eastern European beauty that don't mind getting her knees dirty for world championship titles. And like the Williams, her father's now swimming in a pool of cash.
ORIGIN: Russia
RATING:
Arantxa Rus
COMPLEX SAYS: In 2008, the Dutch beauty won the Australian Open...for juniors. Although she still has a lot to prove in order for her to move up the rankings, the 19-year-old seems to know how to stroke it properly. Uh...19 is legal, right?
ORIGIN: Netherlands
RATING:
Gisela Dulko
COMPLEX SAYS: According to her statistics, she seems to advance further in doubles, and we're all for that! But all jokes aside, the Argentinian runner up has consistently maintained her position as one of the world's top 50 players. Looks-wise? She's obviously in the top 10.
ORIGIN: Argentina
RATING:
Jelena Dokic
COMPLEX SAYS: The other Jelena (Jankovi?) might be a better player, but this Jelena's our pick for this honorable list. How did she went from world ranking four to ranking 105? Well, parting ways with her father might did the job. But on another note, she's well capable of doing various positions in unlimited time span. Good enough for us.
ORIGIN: Australia
RATING:
Daniela Hantuchova
COMPLEX SAYS: What's up with Easter Europeans with tennis? Slovakia-bred Hantuchov
Dominika Cibulkova
COMPLEX SAYS: The 21-year-old who turned pro back in '05 is quickly rising up to stardom. Partially for her skills, and partially for her choice of undies. Whatever it is, she's getting there.
ORIGIN: Slovakia
