When you are over 7-feet in height, playing volleyball and reaching over the net might be a tad way too easy. In fact, when the ball is right at the net, hammering it down on your opponent’s side should be an easy chore.

Check out Oden spiking a volleyball right in the grill of a girl.

Marcin Gortat’s basketball camp comes complete with machine guns

Nothing like taking in a basketball camp with your favorite NBA player. You know, lots of kids, drills being repeated, cones to dribble through, shooting competitions and much more.

Talk about awkward.

Hide your future wife, Boris Diaw may steal her

San Antonio Spurs’ Boris Diaw has it all, riches, fame, an NBA title and gets paid to just play a game. He can have anything and any woman he wants but if this photo of him is any indication, he might just try to steal you woman.

Diaw was in Austin, TX at Lake Travis when he decided to crash a bachelorette party and kiss the wife-to-be on the cheek.

Actually, Boris was invited but still, when your woman is out and about and a pro-athlete comes around, that can’t be good.

BorisDiawBacheloretteParty

Story: My friend was at Lake Travis for a bachelorette party when she saw that Boris had tweeted about being on the lake for the day. She told her friends and they were joking about riding around the lake shouting “BORIS”, and he actually heard them from a boat away saying his name. Boris immediately swam over to celebrate with them and asked if he could kiss the bachelorette. She also claimed that they sang “All I do is win win win no matta what.”

Wizards’ Marcin Gortat is enjoying the NBA offseason in his native country of Poland and either it must be a cultural thing or he really loves pigs.
