Before last night, I wasn't sure who the hell was going to win the coveted inaugural "Man Crush of the Week" award. (Keep in mind, this is restricted to only sports, and is based primarily on their performances, not their looks or muscular physique. Most of the time. Basically it's not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Then, this happened:
Well, that settled it. Ray Allen, congratulations. I'm sure this is an award you will cherish for the rest of your life. Now, just do this for the rest of the playoffs and you'll have about 50 more of these considering how long the NBA Playoffs tend to run. And the way the Celtics played most of that game, we'll be needing you.
And just to address it since most people are talking about it, yes, that was a foul on Carmelo Anthony. Do I think it should have been called? Not that late in what was a physical playoff game. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it was called and strutted around afterwards praising the brilliant NBA officiating, but if they called something like that on Paul Pierce I would've found that referee and tried to shove his whistle down his throat. What made it particularly hilarious was the hip check KG dropped on Tony Douglass the next time down the floor, which miraculously wasn't called.
Honorable Mention: Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Troy Tulowitzki, Ryan Miller, Brian Scalabrine
PS. I'll gladly accept any nominations for athletes for "Man Crush of the Week". Email them in.
