@ KABYEYOU: Atlanta is in the WNBA Finals. They lost again last night to the Lynx. If they lose Friday’s game at Phipps Arena, our season is over.

hold on so your saying that there is still a WNBA and the Finals are going on right now? Espn doesnt do the sport justice. Guess they need a star the chick from Uconn Mya Moore is she doing anything? She was supposed to be the Jordan coming out
@SANDRA
What inspired you to put Morning Wood and Morning Glory together?
Hello All. WOW! The human body, a masterpiece.
@ Auntie Ive been rooting for the Atlanta Dream all season….right now they’re the best team we got. Love all my city’s teams though!! #teamATL

Good Morning EVERYBODY!
That first pic…IDK if that was a overcooked B. Scott or whet? Is it a girl or a boy?
Blake Griffin :drool: I’ve always thought it was something cute about him (in his commercial NOT those pics Sandy posted a while back).
Natasha Hastings body is motivation!
IT’S SO COLD IN DA D’

The pics are beautiful, except the boxers, his pose looks ackward.

I did too. I thought maybe Sylvia is a unisex name in another Country, then I read she was born in Miami.
Beautiful pictures… I love skin period so I can appreciate this kinda art.
Fayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *smashes into u*

Sandra you know I like titties.. these chicks are good in their own right but damn they all are smaller than I am and I don’t like that.
….but the men got nice butts tho
…Sylvia Fowles
“She” actually had an Ol man at LSU. She actually looks MORE feminine these days.
Da fugg Imma dew???? Esp from April when college go off to dayum near July?
Most important…what the FUGG they gonna tawk about on SPORTSCENTER??? What am I gonna watch in the mornings?????
Why y’all laughing at these pictures? I am happy to see people in shape, especilly considering the injected and infalted folks we usually see… like visit the Trina post… then revisit this post. I am all for fit vs flab or silly cones
Sandy can you replace the boxer’s photo with that man on the ledge? His skin, hair, goatee (although a lil big up top thats neither here nor there, I’ll still take it) are all :drool: worthy.
That is a nice pic of Apolo…..although he’s a lil shawt, his pic is still NICE! KUDOS!

I think most people laughing at:
-the terrble poses
-various awkward features
-the thing in the first pic
Not laughing at that general physique.

hey jokesta!
I thougth that Sylvia was Manimal and that boxers needs to sue ESPN for using that pic.
Did he have any control over which pic of him was used?
Dude is going to be hit up by lots of ‘tops’. LOL
Beautiful, except for the Golfer….
BLAKE GRIFFIN, WHEW CHILD!
Redeemed typed into google “scripture that contains the word naked.”
Nice photography and specimen!
Steven Jones looks good! Sylvia has pretty skin. Blake’s body is nice.

Heyyyy Dawn I’m here yay!!
I thought that first one was Jada’s face on a man’s body
The Draft Pick pic is FOINE!
My my my Sergio.
These pics are amazing. The human body is something else.
I wonder if the female athletes had a decision in how they could pose. Ain’t no way I woulda posed like a lion or a stretched out cheetah if I had a say in the matter, especially if my body was as muscular as theirs. But that’s just me
that was nice…
