Welcome to Chicago Joakim.

Who picks these player photos for ESPN?

Whoever it is, I would like to shake that person's hand for the comedy, intentional or not. The strange thing is once these guys get a photo for their player profiles, no matter how ridiculous, they never seem to change. Here's a sample of a few guys who were probably cheated out of millions of dollars because their photos made them look "challenged" in one way or another ahead of the NBA Draft.

Marco Belinelli: "Ayyyyy, Ima Skeletora Juniora." - in exaggerated Italian accent

Tiago Splitter "The Slow Spaniard"

UPDATE: "The Slow Brazilian who happens to play in Spain"

Those crazy teat-loving Poles

The German politician's description of the photo as "tasteless" is a real insult to Chancellor Merkel's chestly endowments.

My jaw refused to fight.

My new favorite basketball player

Please oh please oh please sign Pooh for next year Jim Kelly. How can you resist that name...and those pearly whites! I know Urine Johnson was a flop in the NBA but Pooh is can't-miss!


Jun 25 - One player Toronto might invite back for a closer look, based on his performance over the weekend, was point guard Pooh Jeter, who played last season in the D-League for Colorado, the Raptors' affiliate there.

"In college, he was a scorer and he's really developed from just a scorer into a point guard and his development has been incredible there," Jim Kelly said. "He's been one of the better performers here." -- Toronto Globe and Mail
