Lakers, Celtics and dating

Think the Lakers/Celtics sports rivalry is outside this blog's coverage area? You're wrong.

This gallery of the most stylish basketball wives and girlfriends got me thinking about the common female fascination with dating a professional athlete.

It's something the average woman either enthusiastically embraces or nonchalantly shrugs off. There's usually no middle ground.

Some women go wild thinking about a life filled with frequent attempts to make oversized jerseys sexy. These women are also why "The Game" returned to TV. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the professional athlete fascination rarely enters my dating daydreams.

Unless you catch me on a night when I'm pretending to be Kendra Wilkinson.
