Basketball Player Penis Slip
Via BoingBoing comes this photo of a Texas basketball player (guard Daniel Wilson) who seems to be displaying some of his equipment to the crowd:
The official story is that it’s an “unfortunate optical illusion.” Well, maybe.

As much as I wanna think that’s real, I’m buying the optical illusion story. He looks like he’s got compression shorts under there and his willy would have to be mighty indeed – or have help – to escape that bondage.
The editor of The Eagle points that out in his defense of the newspaper, too. But if that’s true, why is it that some of the inside of his shorts look totally white? Also, if you look just under the alleged penis, you can see a bit of a shadowed area. I’m not claiming to be an expert on analyzing photography, but I’m inclined to believe that it is actually his penis.
Karl makes a good point, the under shorts are quite restrictive.
I wouldn’t doubt Mr. Wilson’s weekends have gotten quite a bit more interesting after the photo was published!
Notice how the floor is whiter, and the lower line of that strange whiteness effects his legs too? Photoshop?
I think that’s just where the fold of the newspaper was. It is a scanned image.
Ya know, I’m not into sports at all, but I really don’t think coaches are going to appreciate their players freeballin’…
Doesn’t it seem as though his penis is a bit pale for a pretty college boy with chocolate colored skin? I shall have to study the image in depth and perhaps do some research on the discontinuity of pigment of male genitalia. I wonder if I could get a federal grant and volunteers?
If you laid the “penis” out against his leg, it would be almost the full length of his thigh.
Sorry, no.
Funny! Thanks for sharing that one!

I have to agree with IWood. i’m sorry I’ve seen well hung boys before but never one with a penis the length of his thigh. I’m betting on illusion. But at first glance and for a few afterwards it really does like he’s “letting it all hang out” ;)
That. Is. Awesome!
And it brings me back to when I used to teach arobics to my college basketball team. Sigh.
Good times…
I swear, I could post a picture of a bowl of cereal, and you folks would start opining on whether it was moistened with whole milk or non-fat.
Faked? Not faked? Who cares? I laughed so hard I about wet myself!
i loathe sports… but i’d watch him play and be happy about it.
viva el wang!
Only if said cereal had your penis in it, Bacchus!
Bacchus: you can tell if milk is whole or nonfat by pouring in dyed soap and watching how quickly it spreads.
Of course, we need access to the cereal to do that… If we had access to Wilson, we could find out for sure about this easily enough as well.
PS: usually I’m not so interested in this sort of thing, but I used to live in College Station…
I wish my optical illusion were that big.
DT – Do you need any research assistants?
Laying aside what the coaches think, wouldn’t it be just plain uncomfortable to “free-ball” it during a basketball game?
Oh, and “newspaper”? That pic was published in a newspaper – did they not see the “optical illusion”, or have newspapers suddenly gotten a lot more permissive with their photographic guidelines?!?
