Have you ever watched a player interviewed after a game and thought, “that guy would be fun to party with?”

Skills, size, and athleticism are not what make a fun athlete. It is all about personality and the sports world has some of the loudest personalities out there.

These guys have the money to make the drinks flow, the fame to get you in the back doo’ and the charm to get you and your best friend a—garden tool.

But who does it the best? Who would get crazy? And who would have the best time? These are questions that I feel need answers. So I have come up with the top 10 Athletes to party with.

10. Shaq

One of the most creative athletes out there. I have an idea for a theme party that Shaq could sponsor.

Everyone has to come dressed as one of Shaq’s nicknames? You could be sipping on some Cristal with some one dressed as a big Cactus or rap with some one rocking an Aristotle outfit.

You could even have your buddy dress as Flash. Of course Dwight Howard would show up in a Superman costume. Oh idea! You could rock a Canadian tuxedo as long as it was all Diesel products. Get it?

9. Gilbert Arenas

This man dropped $1 million dollars on his birthday party! A million dollars for a one night blow out.

Now that is a guy that can party. It’s like I always say, if you can’t party and flow with it, don’t bother throwing it.

I do say that by the way.

8. Mickey Mantle

A true man’s man.

When asked the question, what was your most outstanding moment as a Yankee, Mantle replied " I was with a woman under the right field bleachers by the Yankee bullpen.”

That was while the man was at work! Imagine what happened when he actually went out.

7. Dock Ellis

Dock threw a no hitter June 12, 1970...while on LSD. He achieved what few pitchers ever do, and he did it while tripping out of his mind!

Again a case where these baseball guys are getting crazy at work, with amazing results. Correlation??? I think so!

He pitched a no hitter on acid man! If you ever needed to kick the crazy train up a notch, you would give Dock a call.

6. Charles Barkley

Just don’t let him drive!

The Chuckster got crazy in Vegas, hammered at All-Star weekend, he may have even gotten tipsy with Ernie and Kenny after Inside the NBA—all I’m saying is the man knows how to have a good time.

I mean who doesn’t want to hang out with Sir Charles? He would definitely know a great spot for late night muchies too.

Don’t worry, he knows a guy.

5. Joe Namath

Broadway Joe rocks a fur coat because he is a party animal. The ladies love him, and he even owned his own chain of bars!

Not just one bar, but a whole chain! He liked to have a good time wherever he went.

Even Monday Night Football.

4. Birdman

Do I even need to say anything here?

Guarantee there would be some shenanigans coming from this guy.

3. Michael Irvin

There was a book written about how much this man partied! He is a Hall of Famer, and I heard he was decent at football too.

His big party days were in the 80’s but I have a feeling this party veteran can still paint a town red.

2. Mike Tyson

If you haven’t seen "The Hangover," you don’t really know the potential of Mike’s fun side. He could play you a little piano, sing a little tune, and let the good times roll.

I’m telling you with the Champ, the hits keep on coming.

1. John Daly

Drinking, smoking, straight bogeying. Daly is one of the best golf ball strikers ever, but he is probably the best golf ball striker while under the influence.

He could light up a cigarette at the first hole, and have a flask of Jack to sip on for the round and still whoop just about everyone who ends up reading this.

Great golfer, fantastic partier!

I imagine playing a round of golf with John would be one of the better partying experiences of my life. He might be shirtless for half the round because he took the “golf naked” key chain on my bag a little too seriously, but I bet he would shoot well under par.
