*********

New Yorkers breathed a sigh of relief last week when Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, who is eligible to be a free agent after this season, told Bloomberg News, “I’m not going nowhere.” The franchise last won a championship in 1973 and had little-to-no chance without Anthony, their best player. So what does Anthony have to do with SI Swimsuit? His wife, La La Vazquez, appeared in the 2008 Swimsuit Issue. Vazquez, a Brooklyn born DJ, television personality and actress, wed Anthony in July 2010 and the couple have a six-year-old son. So as NBA teams get ready for training camp and Knicks fans pray this the year they finally break through, we pay tribute to our favorite NBA WAG, La La Vazquez.
