Taurasi is on the latest cover of ESPN the Magazine. I must say, I never really thought about her as being attractive until I saw this spread (in fact, I thought the opposite). I must say, she is quite impressive in this photo.

The muscluar arms are a bit of a turn off. On TV she doesnt look attractive, I bet it the magic of make-up and photoshop.

I always thought her teammate from UCONN was hotter, Sue Bird but she looks damn good in the photos.

Sue Bird is definitely hot!! Becky Hammon is another one of my favorites!

I'm not really sure what it is about her that makes her hot to me. She really isn't that attractive, I think its just that she can hoop.

We could make anyone beautiful in todays age with photoshop...If we can see her before the photoshop, then I guarantee she looks like the daughter from big fat greek wedding

Definitely, but most super models don't look so super without makeup and photoshop.

Proper lighting, makeup and nudity make a lot of women more attractive.

Not a fan. The miracles of editing.

I don't trust professional photography anymore. I might agree that girl looks hot in a picture, but whether she actually is hot or not is a whole different issue.

And another thing that I don't trust... huge fucking sunglasses. Those can make any girl instantly look at least 2-3 points higher on a 10 point scale.

I'm kind of worried about getting this issue, since there will be a 2nd cover. Last year, I got the cover of Carl Edwards. You would think ESPN could look at the name the subscription is in and send the "right" cover accordingly.

Exactly. I lost my faith in Playboy over a decade ago when they showcased a couple of girls I knew in college - or at least I thought I knew, looked nothing like them. They 'airbrush' the models so much you might as well be looking at naked barbie dolls.

It isn't just the gentleman's magazines, it is practically all of them. And they seem to be getting increasingly obvious.

Why didn't they just use one of Greg Oden's photos?

Also the fact that she's usually sweaty with no make up on and her hair pulled back in a pony tail most of the time you see her doesn't help much either. Most of the women we find attractive we might have a different opinion of if we saw them like that on a regular basis.
