    I hope Dirk Nowitzki doesn't play. He pretty much wins on the flop.

    Cool man, they look great! :)

    May I repost those pictures and your observations (your first post) on my website?

    I would like to give you proper credit. Should it be Tinman, Batman, or your real name? :D

    Thanks man, that's awesome!

    I'll post the pictures (by TINMAN :)) as soon as I get more info from betus.com about some details like how much money they raised and stuff.

    BTW, good job taking pictures of hot girls as well as NBA legends. :D
