Shane Battier, Philosopher King

Ah, Shane Battier. Can't go wrong with that guy for pure, unadulterated dorkdom. We know, role model, future politician, hard-working solid forward, all that, we get it. Dude's still square as a chessboard, exciting as rocks. We're not telling you anything you didn't already know.

But none of us knew the depths of it. The spunky kids at Yay!Sports have uncovered a most enjoyable feature on Battier's official site. You can get constantly refreshing bits of Battier Wisdom, nuggets like "I didn't always enjoy things as they were. Instead of slowing down sometimes and watching the sunset, I'd be worried about what time I had to get up the next morning" and "I like to play video games and cook some."

As Yay!Sports puts it, all athletes should have these. From Darius Miles: "I am so high right now. WOW."
