Someone posted this on the Cavs site and I saw this and it cracked me up. It's the last one lol...
Sharapova gives advice to other athletes
My wife's birthday is coming up. Any suggestions for a romantic dinner? -- Derrick Mason, Ravens
Stick to foods she likes; this is no time to experiment. And set the mood with candles and roses. A picnic-style dinner is always nice too.
I have a hard time saying no. How can I do it without upsetting anyone? -- Curtis Granderson, Tigers
Stand up for yourself, man! It's important to set boundaries. But you have to be smart about it, too. So have other people say no for you. You don't want to be the bad guy; that's what your agent is for.
Will you come to DC to watch me play next season? -- Alex Ovechkin, Capitals
What advice are you asking for exactly? I love hockey. And a few weeks ago, I met this chef, José Andrés, who has several restaurants in DC. So I just might make a trip for dinner and a game.
There's a girl I'm into, and I know she likes me. But she has a friend who's in the way. What do I do? -- Daniel Dhers, BMX
Be brave. At the end of the day, any relationship won't be about the friend; it will be about you and this girl. If the chemistry is there -- and it sounds like it is -- go for it.
What does a woman of your caliber look for in a man? -- Daniel Gibson, Cavaliers
Although you may think I live a glamorous life, I'm pretty simple. Little things make me happy. I love to laugh. I love going to dinner or to a comedy club. I like guys who are polite and quirky. Oh, and you have to be tall.
What's the best way to help young girls find success through sports? -- Jessica Mendoza, USA Softball
Encourage them to play as many sports as possible. That's the great thing about America: Kids can play for many different kinds of teams. That's not the case everywhere else.
I'd like to improve my lateral quickness. Any tips? -- Delonte West, Cavaliers
I can't believe I'm giving an NBA guy athletic advice. I work with ladders a lot, I do crossover step drills, and I spend a lot of time with my trainer chasing down balls.
What's the best way to market yourself? -- Stephon Marbury, Celtics
Stay true to who you are, and surround yourself with people who have similar interests. You never know what opportunity is around the corner, so stay connected to your sponsors, and get out from inside your own bubble.
I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice? -- Chuck Liddell, MMA
Nail polish? Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.
