WNBA Star Skylar Diggins Shows Off Her Sexy Side In Sports Illustrated's 2014 Swimsuit Issue [Video/Pics]
Video And Pics After The Jump
Skylar Diggins of the WNBA's Tulsa Shock has been a standout on the basketball court for a long time. The 5'9, 145 pound guard was a McDonald's All-American at Washington High School in South Bend, Indiana.
She followed that up with a stellar 4-year career at Notre Dame and won gold medals in competitions with Team USA in 2008 (Buenos Aires), 2009 (Bangkok), 2011 (Shenzhen, China) and 2012 (Athens).
Skylar was selected No. 3 overall by Tulsa in the 2013 WNBA Draft. She is represented by Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports agency.
Her stunning looks caught Lil Wayne's attention while she was at Notre Dame. This year Sports Illustrated came calling, asking Skylar to model for their 50th Anniversary 2014 Swimsuit Issue.
"I didn't really know how I was going to approach modeling swimsuits. I had never modeled in a swimsuit before," she said. "I think I kind of just wanted to get in and get comfortable. As the shoot went along I got more and more comfortable. And I think that really helped me get some great shots."
The shoot took place in Guana Island with photographer Adam Franzino.

University Of Missouri All-American Michael Sam Comes Out. Should Become The 1st Openly Gay NFL Player [Video]
Video After The Jump
University of Missouri player Michael Sam is by all accounts a good football player. As an All-American defensive end he was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Yearthis season. Sam is also gay.
The 23-year old came out publicly on Sunday (February 9). He made the announcement in interviews with ESPN and the New York Times.
"I am an openly, proud gay man. I understand how big this is. It's a big deal. No one has done this before. And it's kind of a nervous process, but I know what I want to be. I want to be a football player in the NFL."
Sam revealed his sexual orientation to his Missouri teammates last August. He recorded 1.5 sacks and the team went on to have a 12-2 season and won the SEC championship team.
"I looked in [the team's] eyes, and they just started shaking their heads -- like, finally, he came out."
Some NFL teams might be hesitant to draft Sam, according to an anonymous source who talked to Sports Illustrated.
"I don't think football is ready for [an openly gay player] just yet. In the coming decade or two, it's going to be acceptable, but at this point in time it's still a man's-man game. To call somebody a [gay slur] is still so commonplace. It'd chemically imbalance an NFL locker room and meeting room."
Sam knows there will be doubts, he just wants the opportunity.
"There will be negativity, negative reactions I just want to go to the team who drafts me, because that team knows about me, knows that I'm gay, and also knows that I work hard. That's the team I want to go to."
Sam is projected as a 3rd-5th round NFL draft pick.

Derrick Rose Tears Meniscus. Out for Season.
Chicago Bulls fans were shocked to find out that Derrick Rose injured himself on the court once again (Nov 22). Last year, Derrick Rose had to sit out of the 2012-2013 NBA season from a torn ACL and he'll be out for the 2013-2014 season from a torn meniscus.
USA Today defines the role of the meniscus:
The meniscus acts as a cushion for knee bones, and without, the chance of early arthritis and other problems increase.
It was an MRI exam (Nov 23) that revealed that Derrick suffered from a torn meniscus on his right knee. This unexpected injury forces him to sit out the rest of the season as he enters rehabilitation. On Monday (Nov 25), Derrick had surgery on his right knee and it’s unclear how long it will take for Derrick to reach a full recovery.

Chad Johnson has just been arrested and sentenced to 30 days in jail by a Florida judge after a bizarre set of events.
The former NFL player was in a Broward County, Florida courtroom this morning because he violated his probation in his Evelyn Lozada domestic violence case recently.
Johnson's attorney was about to seal a plea deal to keep his client out of jail whenJudge Kathleen McHugh asked Chad if he was happy with his lawyer.
Chad playfully slapped his male attorney on the butt and smiled, which made the courtroom erupt in laughter. The judge then asked Chad if he thought the court proceedings were a joke.
"I had no intent to make this a joke, because my life is in shambles right now," Chad replied.
The judge was so angry she took the plea deal off the table and kicked Chad out of court. TMZ reports that McHugh later had him arrested and sentenced to 30 days in jail. His probation was also extended until December 21, 2013, and he must complete an additional 25 hours of community service along with extra therapy sessions.
