Professional athletes have it rough. Lonely nights on the road can sometimes lead to late night trysts that result in a new addition to the family. On the flip, ballers and their boo just decide it’s time for a little one. For example, Dwight Howard is currently chasing the Most Baby Mommas Award, this after news the NBA All-Star’s girlfriend just gave birth to their baby over the weekend.
While we won’t roast Number 12, rumored to have six children by various women, on his wayward baby-making abilities any further, Hip-Hop Wired takes a look back at 10 other athletes with “more seeds than ODB” as Redman famously rapped. To keep it fair, some of the athletes listed are actually married to the mother of the children. Imagine that.
