The Hottest Wives and Girlfriends in the NBA

Love is a funny thing. Adriana Lima could have had her pick of just about any man on the planet, but she fell in love with Marko Jaric.

Just to be clear here...Adriana Lima—Victoria's Secret Angel, Marco Jaric—7.1 points per game career scorer.

Ah, who cares? As long as Jaric can fill a seat with Lima's fine behind, I'm not going to complain one bit.

Peja Stojakovic's wife, Aleka, is a Greek model, although she might as well be described as a Greek goddess.

Stojakovic has been known to hit a three or two in his day, but he absolutely hit the jackpot with a 10 when it comes to Kamila.

Although Dennis Rodman was never really a scorer, he contributed to the NBA in many different ways. His defense was great, and his rebounding was some of the best ever seen.

But by far Rodman's greatest contribution to the NBA was his brief marriage to Carmen Electra.

I don't know what kind of drug- or alcohol-induced decision this was for her, but sports fans everywhere were grateful for it because it allows her to be on lists like this...yowza.

Probably even more perplexing than Adriana Lima being married to Marko Jaric is Elsa Benitez's marriage to Rony Seikaly.

Sure, the couple are broken up now, but they were married for a while and have a kid together, which means she had to sleep with him at least once.

Seikaly may have been marginally more talented than Jaric, but for goodness sakes, the man looks like this!

This Desperate Housewife is the queen bee of all NBA wives currently. While she may be equally hot as some, she is head and shoulders above all in visibility.

You can't watch a Spurs game without seeing them cut to Longoria at least five times a minute. She always looks amazing too. Not always interested in the game, but definitely amazing.

The one thing I can't tell, though, is if she was most attracted to Tony Parker for his game or for his rapping ability.

Oh, Jason Kidd. You have done so much for the NBA as far as the ladies go.

First he was married to Joumana Kidd, and then he had a brief fling with May Anderson.

But I would have to say that his recent girlfriend Hope Dworaczyk is his greatest achievement.

The girl is as hot as her name is hard to pronounce, and she's even hotter when she's wearing a body-painted NBA jersey and holding a couple of balls, er, basketballs.

Kenyon Martin has no problem not being the only star in his relationship, as he is currently dating rapper Trina.

Most people say that opposites attract, but from the looks of this picture, it seems like they both are fans of ridiculous tattoos.

Really, though, the tattoo (or whatever that is) is the least important part of this picture. Let's just enjoy it for what it is.

Before Tyra Banks became a mostly insane talk show host and America's Next Top Model host, she was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. During some of that time, Chris Webber was dating her.

Although some would argue that Webber's career was a disappointment compared to what everyone thought it would be, 15 years in the NBA, a five-time All-Star, and dating Tyra Banks in her prime for three years is pretty nice in my book.
