It now seems more likely that Diana Taurasi’s girlfriend Penny Taylor could be the real girlfriend. We’re trying to figure out what the deal is here, folks! The most significant pieces of evidence are a few photographs of them at events outside the basketball court. It’s still just conjecture, but they would make a nice couple. They’re already…

Tamika Catchings’ husband Parnell Smith is a former player at the University of Buffalo. He’s most recognized for having won state high school titles at Pike High School in Indianapolis. A state title in Indiana is no joke; remember the movie “Hoosiers”? Standing at 6’6″ and weighing 210 pounds during his time at Pike, Parnell was a man among boys. He’s probably a lot bigger than that now that he’s doing most of his rebounding work in…

A short while ago, we talked about how Matt Centrowitz’s sisters, and how girlfriend didn’t appear to exist. Now we ask: is Matt Centrowitz’s girlfriend Liya Kasimova?
