Bar Refali is so remarkable that she can make the best even better, as she does to the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. 

We already have enough spice on our plate to make the best issue of Sports Illustrated a must-own copy, but now we have far more reason to rush to the nearest newsstand. 

Sports Illustrated's Andy Gray tweets the following on the beautiful Israeli model. 

The link is to this specific picture that shows Jeremy Lin and Ricky Rubio engrossed in a battle for point guard supremacy.

That brings us to an issue that is getting a great deal of buzz and may be primed for a record performance. 

We will all finally get the most pressing question answered tonight when David Letterman reveals the cover of the issue, and most have it set as Kate Upton's turn to adorn the coveted spot. 

Upton was the Rookie of the Year last year and is creating quite the stir with the mere mention that she might be on the cover. 

There was also a juicy tidbit about soccer star Alex Morgan getting some splash of body paint, making just about every red-blooded American ready to flip the pages to the budding starlet.

Now we have this fine conundrum facing us until we get out grubby little hands on the issue. While I think it would be amazing if Jeremy Lin cozied up to Refaeli, his surge on the main stage has come far too recently to benefit.

If there was going to be one star point guard that garnered buzz a couple of months ago, it would be Rubio.

However, if I were a betting man, I would wager that Gray is playing coy with us, and this might be a spread with Chris Paul getting comfy with the beautiful model. Some guys do have it all.

All of this is to get way off track. This issue is about the ladies. I don't care if Jerry West was in the picture, I am plunking down my hard-earned cash to get a gander at Refaeli. It will be months before I realize there was some dude in the photo with her.
