And now a totally gratuitous and non-media-related basketball mention

Actually it is kind of media-related because it doesn’t seem that anyone has reported this awesome quote, so it falls to Fishbowl, New York’s premier basketball publication: after last night’s super-exciting Game-Seven final which saw the Detroit Pistons vanquished by the 3-time title-winning San Antonio Spurs, superstar Argentinian Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was pulled from the celebratory throng, all sweaty and victorious, to comment on his feelings after the exciting 81-74 game in which he’d finished with 23 points, five rebounds and four assists and had dominated the final minutes of the game. Ginobili was as winning after the game as he was during with a combination of excitement, earnest sweetness, glistening musculature and a smokin’ hot accent as he enthused about how he was so filled with joy he could just burst: “I have so much happiness, I need another body to fill it.” We don’t know about you, but we may not have been thinking about basketball right at that second. In any case, SOMEONE needed to report that.

p.s. This post has nothing to do with PBS.

UPDATE: We have received a few responses indicating that Fishbowl readers also think Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace is hot. We concur. We like to see him sweaty, too. Just to be fair, a random big-haired pic of him after the jump.
