NBA Boyfriend Power Rankings: The Southwest Division Is A Freaking Wasteland Of Possible Boyfriend Talent

3. Kelenna Azubuike, Dallas Mavericks

As JaVale McGee taught us last week, a good Twitter feed is sometimes enough to change your entire estimation of a person, and Kelenna Azubuike’s sweetly earnest tweets make him a good candidate for imaginary NBA boyfriend-hood:

And also:

Drawbacks: He’s been out for two years with an intense knee injury, so you may have trouble getting him out of the house.

4. Tony Allen, Memphis Grizzlies

Guys, what is going on in Memphis? The pickings are slim! I almost chose Gilbert Arenas as my imaginary NBA boyfriend before I learned about that whole “holding your teammate at gunpoint” thing (not to mention the whole “pooping in your teammate’s shoes” thing.) And everyone else is boring! So here we are: Tony Allen is reasonably good-looking. Likes music. His teammates call him “Gucci.” I don’t know, it’s your life!

Drawbacks: Some have described Allen’s defense as “smothering,” and I have a separate life to live. Also, this is the scariest thing I have ever seen.

5. Trevor Ariza, New Orleans Hornets

Ariza has overcome quite a bit of personal adversity before beginning his impressive NBA career, and he’s civic-minded. What’s not to love?

Drawbacks: Likes to fight with the Artest family on Twitter, and the Hornets have been referred to as “the worst team in the Western Conference,” probably due to their 156 lost games to injury this season. Yikes!
