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

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.

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

Back when Kobe was still rocking the No. 8 jersey, no one was safe from his advances.

So, maybe there is more to the Cutler-Cavallari break-up than we first thought?

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!

Baby oil? Check. Leather chaps? Check. Awkward positions? Check. You know, just normal WWE protocol.

Shaquille O'Neal & Danny Ferry
