LMAO @ THIS POST
Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /
Damn, ya’ll going hard at La La huh? LOL! Well, I actually think she looks good. She highlighted her best parts (her boobs) and kept it movin’. I ain’t mad. Also, this is a mens magazine, so they are not going to be trippin and pointing out the supposed “flaws” like some females do. As far as her being in the “Sports wives” addition (although she is not official yet), if she doesn’t mind putting herself out like that then good for her. Her and Carmelo are engaged (which means she is supposed to be on her way to becoming the wife), so if things don’t work out they at least had good intentions. LMAO! But La La seems like a cool person, I wish her the best because thats all you can do for someone you don’t know.
Oh and LMAO @ #59…that is so true!

How about people stop calling her just his baby mama? She is his fiance..they are engaged…baby mama is a term used for someone who had a child with someone they are no longer with. Her and Carmelo are getting married…

She actually looks decent in this spread. I have never found her the least bit attractive, but these pictures actually do her some justice.

Good choice of bathing suit, cause she’s not a typical sports illustrated model, she’s thick, Pretty pics.

I don’t know how LaLa was able to pose..Sports Illustrated made a mistake because she is definitely not his wife..and by the looks of it, I don’t think its going to happen..they’ve been ENGAGED since 2004…4 years done passed and they’re still not married..i think theres a problem lol..the bathing suit is cute..but its not the right bathing suit for her…she looks slightly uncomfortable/awkward posing.

if this is “ATHLETES WIVES” photo spread why oh why is she featured…
4 FRIGGIN YEARS LATER AND THEY STILL AINT MARRIED
99.
why
Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /
@ 15… Exactly… she had that baby a year ago…plenty of time to tone up! And maybe I was misunderstood when I said fat…she looks to have a large amount of body fat for the size of her body….which is comparable to FAT!!! And no you don’t have to be skinny because that’s not cute either…however Beyonce looks as if she weighs more than lala, but she doesn’t look FAT!!! All I’m saying is that she needs to tone it up…because she’s “LOOKING” rather “FAT” and disproportioned!

When was the wedding? Being engaged to someone does not make you wifey. Especially when you have been engaged for 4 years.

I’d like to know why with all of the black players think nfl & nba with beautiful black wives none of them were profiled. Wife and not girlfriend or baby momma like lala. Just keeping it real not hating on lala.

Umm……No comment. Though she does look better than I did after having my son. But those legs. It’s not sexy. I don’t see it at all. Carmelo is mos def a “titty man” because I don’t see the overall appeal.

This is what I dont undrstand most women cry foul because there are sooo may double standards when it comes to the images of women in media complaining about unreal standards and a narrow representation of different body types , but then you see a picture of just someone whos just a normal, pretty,woman . and then you get all up in arms about her not being sexy enough,or “shes just average at best” then you wanna comment about her not really being married, and saying Carmello dont want her blah blah blah ! black women are so rarely featured in SI and you fools still cant say anything positive about one of your own?! Wow! some of you really need to get a grip, I cant comprehend having so much negativity and jealosy in my system, you all are some hateful ass cows, ladies it is so unbecoming!

oh, I just asked for an update about the couple! I think the pics are cool. I guess that’s why she started looking a little thin last year - getting in shape for the long haul and photo shoot. Please get some pictures of the baby and fam because even Tom and Katie decided to show off their Suri! (LOL)

She looks alright, bt her body looks good, now that’s a real woman’s body ( i unno if it photoshoped) bt on the real she ain’t MARRIED YET….Are they even still ENGAGED or she just a JUMPOFF…Cuz i knoe most of NBA n all sports players are unfaithfully….. I hope she ain’t gon be liek Eva Langoria (sp?) wantin to get married so quick desparate….call me a hata but Tony dont look so interest in the marriage, like yall heard tha rumor bout him sleepin with some lil hoochie mama, she came to his defense…y not him?…Ladies dont rush for marriage jus wait wen u noe he is ready for sho..don be askin “Wen Wen Weeeeeeen” u gon get ” Bitch get off my face sign” even if he wont tell.

She does not look nice…she has them weird looking pop-eyes, and her body is nothing to write home about. Anyone with a bomb body can wear a two piece; this bitch got on a one piece “mama” swimsuit, the kind people wear when they are hiding a bunch of shit, and trying to create a waist. Her hips and waist are the same; get this random bitch off the screen…bitch start having a ballplayers kids, and forget she looks like a muppet baby…..

She looks pretty…not really feeling her bending over though but I guess that what they make you do for the sex appeal portion of the shoot…umm anyways I thought they were engaged not married so why is she in this shoot?

Damn the way ya’ll are critizing Lala (mainly the females) I would love to see how ya’ll look in a bathing suit. She does not look FAT and her body looks good after having a baby.

And I agree I dont like the color of the bathing suit, brown did her no justice. As said before a yellow would have been hot or an orange against her skin tone.

Being engaged for 4 years and being a baby mama does not = wife, SI need to rethink that.

Why is she even on this site? This black azz broad is the same one that states she is 100% Puerto Rican. Has she even driven by a college? Any idiot knows that most Puerto Ricans have mixed blood( no matter how light they are and how much they lie—research their history that they try to re-write) and her azz DEFINITELY had many ancestors from the great continent of AFRICA.
That is why she gets no support from me and never will. I am tired of the self-loathing negro.
Let Barack become president and all their azzes will suddenly want to wear their blackness on their t-shirts everyday.

She is nobody’s wife, more like one man’s fool. She looks good for recently having a baby but hardly model material for Sport Illustrated.

Why is YBF reinforcing SI’s propaganda and continuing to reinforce the lie that LaLa “BabyMama” Vazquez is Melo’s wife? I find it hard to believe that SI could not find an ethnic woman who was actually married to represent.
Ummm Tamia?

i”m native american and i could say the same thing about a lot of puerto ricans being mixed and not taking on any native culture…but i wont…its a new culture and its still different from other people…everyone knows that puerto ricans are mixed, but it isnt just
a spanish dude had a baby with an indian who had a baby with a black dude or nothing..
it seems like acknowledging themselves as pr, its more of acknowledging their own culture, which is basically came from many other cultures but seemed to take on a shape and form of its own

LMFAO @ #79
I’ve always liked LaLa on MTV, but this spread does NOTHING for her.
Why everybody hatin though? She got nice NaNa’s….its a MEN’S magazine. She has to accentuate SOMETHING, people!
And yeah Melo- what IS the hold-up…..1 baby boy and 4 years? Forreal?

The swimsuit isn’t the best but I see where they were trying to camo. her mid section with the scrunched up look.
The shoes are too big and down right ugly. She should have brought her stuff from home and not depended on those people to dress her.
As far as her looks, La la isn’t an unattractive woman. She hits and misses just like everyone. These pics are not good. It has nothing to do with her, its their choice of clothing and shoes thats awful!
