Athletes make millions of dollars playing their respective sports but we all know they make a chunk of  their change schilling products as pitchmen.  With the football season underway and the basketball pre-season already claiming victims we wanted to take a look at some of the craziest commercials they’ve thrown at us arm-chair quarterbacks.

It’s not easy being a Black celebrity, especially when it comes to being photographed. It’s bad enough that a stroll down the street or night out becomes front page news, but when you actually pose for a photo it can still come out looking crazy.

Celebrities are entertaining enough without us seeing how they looked before they got money.

While visiting his youth basketball camp, legendary NBA baller Michael Jordan was asked the million dollar question:  Lebron or Kobe?

Athletes are good at a lot of things. Running, jumping, swimming, dribbling, passing, dunking… but the one area where they don’t particularly excel? Staying out of trouble.

Did Kobe Bryant not get the “no bitchassness” memo from P. Diddy?  After winning his fifth NBA title a reporter asked the Los Angeles Lakers MVP what the championship meant to him “individually” and he replied, “I’ve got one more than Shaq.”

From Blacksportsonline One of the great things about the Lakers vs. Celtics series is that they aren’t just playing for a title, they are playing for legacy. There is so much at stake in Game 7 that the repercussions will be felt for a very long time:

I think the sane among us can agree that Kobe Bryant’s L.A. Times photoshoot was not a good look (pun intended). During Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz, Kobe found himself being taunted by Jazz fans who mocked the shoot by holding up poster-sized versions of the photos and imitating his wardrobe by wearing hats […]

When I was growing up, those Where’s Waldo books became popular, where you would have to hunt through an illustration for this Waldo character.

This photo of Kobe Bryant on the cover of the L.A. Times really had us wondering, what the hell is going on here??
