An unofficial ranking of the 20 hottest basketball players in the NBA

By now the self-appointed rankers of athletic hotness across a range of all-American athletic pursuits (take a look at our lists of hottest girls at the 2016 Summer Olympics and hottest NFL players), we pride ourselves in knowing every single player in all major sports leagues without ever actually watching a game. Can you blame us? Browse through our list of hottest basketball players in the NBA and you'll know what we're talking about.

PS. We limited ourselves to currently active players so you won't be seeing Kobe Bryant or Rick Fox (or Leon Powe, or John Havlicek or...) because they're retired.
