An NBA player sexing up a woman other than his wife is almost as much of a part of the game as an alley-oop. Hell, sometimes they don't even care if the woman they're about to have relations with is hitched to a guy in their own locker room.
Whether or not the following accusations were ever proven to be 100 percent true, who cares? They're still good enough to make the cut as the eight juiciest NBA infidelity rumors of all time.

8. Tony Parker allegedly had affair with Brent Barry's wife.
We'll assume most people are asking why the Spurs' point guard would stray from someone as hot as Eva Longoria, so we'll go ahead and throw a picture of Erin Barry on the table to clear things up (pictured left).
According to the NY Daily News, Longoria found hundreds of sexts from Barry on Parker's phone in 2010 and filed for divorce soon after. The Barrys also decided to split, and that fueled speculation that the relationship between Tony and Erin involved more than emoticons. Others maintained the two just leaned on each other while their marriages were crumbling, but that sounds like a terrible story.
7. Shaquille O'Neal allegedly humped Gilbert Arenas's fiancée.
According to Deadspin, Shaq and Laura "Lonnie" Govan had the following email exchange on March 5, 2009:
Govan: just wanted to let u know i am here (disclosed the name of her hotel).
Shaq: said he was "obliged" to attend a function first and then asked if he could "come put it in" when it was over.
Govan: LOL ur crazy! As long as u taste me n make me cum LOL.
Mandatory: Juicy.
Govan denied ever sleeping with the former Lakers center, saying the emails were fake. Shaq later said he never cheated on his wife "disrespectfully." We have no idea what that means.
6. Lil Wayne allegedly f**ked Chris Bosh's wife.
Hey, his words, not ours. In February 2013, Lil Wayne took out some of his frustrations with the NBA and Miami Heat for banning him from events by going on stage and ranting. The rant ended with Weezy disclosing that he had sex with Bosh's wife Adrienne. Now, while there is no proof that Bosh's wife cheated on him with Lil Wayne, it's fairly certain that they were romantically involved before Adrienne and Bosh got married. Whether or not any sort of relationship continued is still up for debate on gossip message boards.
5. Marv Albert allegedly bit a woman's back and wore women's panties.

If you have never had a chance to read the transcript of Marv Albert's forcible sodomy and assault trial, do yourself a favor and call in sick to work, grab a sixer and have a go at it. It should have won a Pulitzer. Here's just a taste:
Q. And what did you see then?
A. I saw him standing there with underwear on.
Q. What kind of underwear?
A. He had panties and a garter belt on.
Q. What else, if anything, did you see?
A. He was exposed and aroused.
Another woman claimed Albert bit her 15 to 20 times on her back while forcing her to do some really crazy shit. Even crazier, Albert was dating a woman named Heather Faulkiner at the time. They got engaged, tied the knot and are still married today.
4. Jason Richardson allegedly impregnated Steve Nash's wife.
![Steve Nash divorces wife]()
Steve Nash divorced his then-wife Alejandra in December 2010 just one day after the birth of their third child. Rumors began to circulate that Nash was upset that his wife had been cheating on him with teammate Jason Richardson and it was Richardson-not Nash-who was the baby's real daddy.
It looked as though there was actually some truth to those rumors when Richardson was suddenly traded to Orlando several days later, and there were even reports the child was black. That obviously wasn't the case.
Still, neither Nash confirmed nor denied the cheating allegations, so the rumors live on.
3. Delonte West allegedly slept with LeBron James' mom.

Hey, if you can't be the greatest player on the court, why not take down the mother of the guy who actually is the greatest player? That's the road former Cavaliers guard Delonte West allegedly took in 2010, when rumors surfaced that he and Gloria James had a thing going on.
That didn't sit too well with "The King," as he bolted for Miami after the Cavs were bounced from the playoffs by the Celtics. West didn't come back to Cleveland either, and he was out of the league less than two years later.
In 2012, West denied he ever got freaky with LeBron's mom. In August of this year, however, he took a different tone in an interview with VICE Sports, saying, "I don't want my son going to school and people making fun of him for something his daddy did."
2. Michael Jordan allegedly had sex with a lot of women not named Juanita Jordan.
Karla Knafel sued Jordan in 2002 because he allegedly reneged on paying her $5 million in exchange for her not saying anything about him plowing her. Pamela Smith filed court documents in 2013 that asked for Jordan to provide DNA samples to determine whether or not he was the father of her 16-year-old son. Laquetta Theus filed a paternity suit several months later, saying Air Jordan fathered daughter in 2010. You see where we're going here.
1. Kobe Bryant allegedly sexually assaulted a 19-year-old hotel worker in Colorado.

The world learned one important thing after Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was arrested in 2003 in connection with a sexual assault investigation: Your wife will forgive you for pretty much anything if you buy her a $4 million ring.
