INTRO
Star athletes have always been the ultimate representation of masculinity. Whether it's bashing their opponents heads in on the field of play or scoring off of it with thirsty groupies, ballers always seem to do manly things. However, that doesn't mean your favorite sports heroes can't be caught in compromising positions. Thanks to the perfect timing of photographers many athletes are captured in moments that are ripe for juveniles like us to make fun of. From Michael Jordan and David Beckham receiving phantom backshots to A-Rod and Jeter playing grab ass, here are the Most Unintentionally Sexual Photos in Sports History...
Tyson Chandler, Tim Duncan & Tony Parker
40. Tyson Chandler, Tim Duncan & Tony Parker
Facials are never fun for defenders; the look on Timmy's face pretty much says it all.
Chris Bosh
39. Chris Bosh
Kidding aside, no other NBA player is more eager for the lockout to end. Watch Bosh become a beast this year and put the foolishness to rest.
David Ortiz & Manny Ramirez
38. David Ortiz & Manny Ramirez
This is an example of a sports bromance taken a little too far. Side bar: We thought aggression—not affection—was a side effect of steroid use.
Juwan Howard & Pau Gasol
37. Juwan Howard & Pau Gasol
Juwan, this is yet another sign that you're truly too old for this shit. Can't say we didn't tell you so.
Alex Rodriguez & Derek Jeter
36. Alex Rodriguez & Derek Jeter
Can we put the "A-Rod's not a real Yankee" nonsense to rest?
Cristie Kerr
35. Cristie Kerr
We know Miss Kerr is no stranger to handling woods and driving balls for a living but this trophy seems like it came straight from the AVN awards. #justsayin'
Lleyton Hewitt & Tim Henman
34. Lleyton Hewitt & Tim Henman
We thought a sport like tennis would be above hazing, especially on a stage like Wimbledon. Guess not.
David Beckham and Thierry Henry
33. David Beckham and Thierry Henry
Two of soccer's greats know that winning is all about preparation.
Brad May
32. Brad May
Just another one of the many ways hockey players could lose their teeth.
Charles Barkley & Dick Bevetta
31. Charles Barkley & Dick Bevetta
Despite being out of the league for a decade, it's clear that Chuck still has love for the game and everyone in it. Except LeBron, of course.
Wayne Rooney & Tomasz Radzinski
30. Wayne Rooney & Tomasz Radzinski
Just another celebration fail? All depends on what you're into...
Dwight Howard & Dorell Wright
29. Dwight Howard & Dorell Wright
We heard this track set the mood for Superman and Dorell Wright.
Shawne Williams & Marvin Williams
28. Shawne Williams & Marvin Williams
One key lesson in intimidating your opponent: Get right in their mug to let them know you mean business. But not close enough where they may begin to think you want to give them the business.
Yao Ming & Ramūnas Šiškauskas
27. Yao Ming & Ramūnas Šiškauskas
So, 6-foot-6 Ramūnas Šiškauskas is a full foot shorter than Yao Ming meaning two things: 1. Šiškauskas has hops and 2. Homie really wanted that kiss.
Kobe Bryant
26. Kobe Bryant
Back when Kobe was still rocking the No. 8 jersey, no one was safe from his advances.
Lamar Odom & Luke Walton
25. Lamar Odom & Luke Walton
From photos like this to his lame tats, does Luke Walton ever win? Those championships he received while riding the Lake Show bench do not count.
Wayne Rooney & Cristiano Ronaldo
24. Wayne Rooney & Cristiano Ronaldo
Wayne Rooney, too?! Who hasn't CR7 been with?
Michael Jordan
23. Michael Jordan
We know His Airness was double-teamed many times during his career but this is taking things a bit too far.
Jerry Stackhouse & Jason Terry
22. Jerry Stackhouse & Jason Terry
Slaps on the ass after good plays, kisses, too? Winning is so much fun!
Rex Grossman & Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila
21. Rex Grossman & Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila
C'mon ref, where's the unnecessary roughness call at?
Sam Cassell
20. Sam Cassell
You wouldn't love to get to be around your favorite athletes at work everyday helping prevent them from getting injuries? Yeah, us neither...
Jeff Green & Joel Pryzbilla
19. Jeff Green & Joel Pryzbilla
Putting two balls at risk, in order to get to one? #hustlinbackwards
Tim Duncan & Greg Popovich
18. Tim Duncan & Gregg Popovich
What, you thought those four titles in nine seasons came easy?
Hulk Hogan & Ultimate Warrior
17. Hulk Hogan & Ultimate Warrior
Yeah, Hulk Hogan's beef with the Ultimate Warrior is well-documented. This photo reminds us that pain is love, though.
Vinny Del Negro & Kirk Hinrich
16. Vinny Del Negro & Kirk Hinrich
Why would you fire this guy?
Doc Rivers
15. Doc Rivers
What, you thought one of the league's best coaches only gets excited on game day? That's not how championships are won, son!
Raul Gonzalez
14. Raul Gonzalez
It pays to have players that are this excited to get in the game.
Tony Parker & Manu Ginobli
13. Tony Parker & Manu Ginobli
Tony and Manu know that winning championships is all about team camaraderie. Lots of it. Needless to say, that's why you don't bang your teammate's wives.
Jay Cutler & Pierre Woods
12. Jay Cutler & Pierre Woods
So, maybe there is more to the Cutler-Cavallari break-up than we first thought?
Mikki Moore & Baron Davis
11. Mikki Moore & Baron Davis
Why go for one ball on defense when you could go for three? Yup, MIkki Moore is an overachiever.
Shawn Michaels & Triple H
10. Shawn Michaels & Triple H
Nope, pretty sure that's not in the rule book.
Derrick Rose
9. Derrick Rose
Wow. There's definitely a thin line between being a fan and an obsessed stalker. It's pretty clear which side this dude is on.
Jonathan Papelbon & Manny Ramirez
8. Jonathan Papelbon & Manny Ramirez
Win World Series for the Red Sox and anything goes, huh?
Phil Mickelson
7. Phil Mickelson
Phil Mickelson is one of the most easygoing guys in pro sports. He's won three Masters tournaments, so we can't say nice guys always finish last but, hey, somebody's gotta finish last!
University of Miami Football Players
6. University of Miami Football Players
And the details of those illicit benefits received by players at the U continue to surface.
Sam Cassell II
5. Sam Cassell II
As if the only alien to play in NBA history couldn't get any more creepy, he takes it a step further with this photo. *Cues the soundtrack
Jim Edmonds & Jason Marquis
4. Jim Edmonds & Jason Marquis
We know the old saying, but we're truly at a loss for words on this one. SMH.
Stephen Jackson & Don Nelson
3. Stephen Jackson & Don Nelson
The Warriors didn't have much to cheer about during Don Nelson's coaching tenure, so we're guessing this back shot occurred during their playoff run in '07. Victory is sweet!
Batista
2. Dave Batista
Baby oil? Check. Leather chaps? Check. Awkward positions? Check. You know, just normal WWE protocol.
Shaquille O'Neal & Danny Ferry
1. Shaquille O'Neal & Danny Ferry
With nicknames like "The Big Diesel" and "The Big Daddy" it's fitting that Shaq would make this kind of list.
