Tiger "This Is Huge" Woods is not the only sloppy serial athletic cheater. It seems the ball is no longer in Miami Heat forward Dorell Wright's court either. He is the third NBA player in recent months to have a naked picture surface on the Internet of his jewels.
According to the Florida Sun-Sentinel, a groupie posted the picture after Wright's girlfriend, who is the mother of his child, was expounding on Wright's virtues, presumably in a room crowded with anticipation and lots of spandex.
On his Twitter account, New Jersey Nets guard Chris Douglas-Roberts referenced the pictures and tweeted, "Stop takin' these naked pics for these groupies, fellas. Please. Think LONGTERM." (No pun intended).
Earlier this season, Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden and San Antonio Spurs guard George Hill apologized for explicit frontal photos of themselves that appeared on the Web.
The picture was taken of Wright during a private video chat session a year ago and has since surfaced on several Web sites as well as various Twitter accounts.
Wright's Twitter account has since been shuttered.
"I'd like to apologize to my family, fans and the Heat organization for this embarrassment," Wright said in a statement issued by the team. "The photos were taken roughly one year ago in what I thought was a private conversation. I lacked judgment and was naive about the Internet. I realize this is not an excuse, but it is something I truly regret. I realize this affects my entire family, and I am embarrassed by it."
