Your Gratuitous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Gallery
But you don't understand! This is a sports magazine! It's totally cool!

Danica Patrick is back again for some reason, as are lithesome European tennis babes, but SI did a complete 180 by replacing the NFL cheerleaders with ... get this ... NBA dancers! Crazy, but true! How do they do it, man? How do they do it?
Anyway, you don't even need the magazine, because there's about a million new photos posted on their website so depending on the security in your cubicle, we'll see you sometime on Thursday. For those of you stuck on Deadspin today, here's a small taste:
