Dunking Dancers: Sure, watching LeBron, Kobe, D-Wade, and the rest of our favorite hoopsters is great, but we'd much rather watch the court during timeouts and halftimes! Because you don't want anyone else leading you in YMCA, we wanted to give you the hottest NBA Dancers this season. This week are the Detroit Pistons Dancers, who show us why Motown's so hot!

My next dream is to travel around the country and audition for several dance jobs before eventually opening up a dance studio.

2009 Detroit Pistons Dancers-

What’s the best and worst thing about being a NBA dancer?

The best thing about being a NBA dancer is being able to sit courtside and perform at every game. Also the chance to be a good role model in the community. The worst thing would be trying to manage my schedule and make time for school and work.

It was probably a huge accomplishment to become a NBA dancer, now that you’ve reached this, what’s your next dream or goal?

It was a great accomplishment and I would like to continue as an NBA dancer as long as I can, and then start my Career in Sports Marketing.

What’s the craziest thing a dude’s ever done to hit on you? In or out of stadium?

The craziest thing a guy has ever done to hit on me was shout my name and ask me out while I was walking by him.

We are the Detroit Pistons and have the best fans around, which makes it very exciting to cheer for.

2009 Detroit Pistons Dancers-

What’s the best and worst thing about being a NBA dancer?

The best part about being a NBA dancer is that I was able to achieve my dream of becoming a professional dancer. It's truly the most amazing experience when you step onto the court and perform in front of 20,000 fans. The worst part about being a NBA dancer are the misconceptions about who we are. Outside of the NBA we all have careers, or attend school. We are educators, nurses, law students and the list goes on and on.

What’s the nightlife for you? Stay in and relax, or it’s the weekend, bring back college?

Well, I'd like to say that it’s the weekend, bring back college. But with our busy schedule, there really isn't time to do much. I enjoy going to blockbuster and renting a movie and watching it on my couch in my old college sweatpants. My sweatpants are probably to closest thing that I'm going to get to living in my college days.

Jock or Nerd. Which one would you really rather settle down with?

I would want to settle down with a nerd. Plus I love a guy in glasses!

Why is your team the best to cheer for?

The Detroit Pistons are the best team to cheer/dance for because we have the best fans in the entire league. Not to mention it's wonderful watching how dedicated the fans are no matter what happens with the team.

Who is your all-time favorite NBA player? Why?

My all-time favorite NBA player is Chauncey Billups. He's so entertaining and talented to watch on the court, and he's overall a great role-model to so many people.

2009 Detroit Pistons Dancers-

What’s the best and worst thing about being a NBA dancer?

I can't really pinpoint the best thing. The overall experience is mind boggling! The opportunity, the games, the fans, the sisterhood, its all very surreal and I love it! Although I can certianly handle my own, the comments from some gentlemen would definitely be the worst.

What’s the craziest thing a dude’s ever done to hit on you? In or out of stadium?

When I attended Michigan State, I had a boy follow me home from class, precede from there to ask me for my number, then about three times a week for a good couple months put some type of little present on my car - flowers, candy, balloons, gas cards. I even woke up a couple mornings to coffee and a scone. With each gift there was always a note under my windshield asking for my number and if I'd like to go out sometimes. His consistency turned creeper status really quickly!

When you’re not dancing, where can people find you?

I'm either at school, working, playing with Sean A Paul (my ball python), or cooking. I also love talking with my little brothers on skype. It's nice to see their faces because being far away from them just kills me!

Why is your team the best to cheer for?

We've filtered so many guys in and out of our team this season, it's nice to see change in the game/team. The guys do a great job and make each and every game entertaining to watch. How many teams has a 6' tall Will Bynum come out of nowhere like he's a 6'11 Charlie Villanueva and throw down a monster dunk? What a stud! It's pure entertainment!

Who is your all-time favorite NBA player? Why?

I have three. Joe Dumars. He spent his entire career with the Pistons and I still have all my Dumars #4 jerseys. Dennis Rodman. He was pure entertainment value. Lastly, Dwyane Wade. Kobe this, Lebron that, Dwyane Wade is the best player in the NBA right now...I could watch him ball all day!

2009 Detroit Pistons Dancers-

What’s the best and worst thing about being a NBA dancer?
The best is the rush of performing and the energy from the fans. The worst would be some of the stereotyping that comes with the title.

What’s the craziest thing a dude’s ever done to hit on you? In or out of stadium?
One guy actually found out my name and googled me on his phone. Then he used the information he found as conversation starters.

What’s the nightlife for you? Stay in and relax, or it’s the weekend, bring back college?
My perfect weekend would include themed movie marathons, board games, and trying to cook new meals.

Why is your team the best to cheer for?
They are entertaining and show that they love what they do when they step on the court.

Who is your all-time favorite NBA player? Why?

2009 Detroit Pistons Dancers-

It was probably a huge accomplishment to become a NBA dancer, now that you’ve reached this, what’s your next dream or goal?

Becoming a part of the Pistons dance team was definitely my biggest accomplishment so far! My next goal after Automotion would be to graduate from college with a degree in journalism and broadcasting, or possibly elementary education. I'd also like to further my dance career by auditioning and teaching.

Who’s the hottest on-screen cheerleader?

The hottest I think, would have to be Ali Larter in Varsity Blues. But my all-time favorite TV cheerleaders are Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri in the SNL skit "The Spartans." They are absolutely hilarious!

What’s the craziest thing a dude’s ever done to hit on you? In or out of stadium?

I was working at a restaurant once, and an older man ordered a hamburger with "a side of me to go." I ignored the comment, and before he cashed out he asked me to fly back to California with him. Needless to say, I turned down the offer, but he left me his phone number on the back of his receipt when he left. Some guys just can't take no for an answer!

Why is your team the best to cheer for?

My team is the best to cheer for because the organization and people who I'm given a chance to work with at The Palace create an amazing environment to work in and be a part of!

Who is your all-time favorite NBA player? Why?

My all-time favorite NBA player is Chauncey Billups, aka Mr. Big Shot. :)

What’s the worst cheerleading injury you’ve ever had?

2009 Detroit Pistons Dancers-

What’s the best and worst thing about being a NBA dancer?

The best thing is all the excitement and getting to dance on the court in front of 20,000 people. The worst thing is that everybody thinks us dancers are messsing around with the players.

It was probably a huge accomplishment to become a NBA dancer, now that you’ve reached this, what’s your next dream or goal?

My next goal is to finish school and try to work on my shoe collection.

What’s the nightlife for you? Stay in and relax, or it’s the weekend, bring back college?

It really depends on how my week ended. Sometimes I like to stay at home and watch movies, and other times I want to party the whole weekend.

Why is your team the best to cheer for?

Our team is very passionate and they love what they do.

Who is your all-time favorite NBA player? Why?

Michael Jordon. I loved him in Space Jam, and I always wanted some of his gym shoes.

Becoming a NBA dancer was definitely one of my biggest accomplishments! My next goal is to move out to Cali and finish up fashion school and own my own boutique!

What’s the nightlife for you? Stay in and relax, or it’s the weekend, bring back college?

It really depends on how much I had going on during the week. To be honest, most of the time I'm so tired that I love staying in, cuddiling in bed and watching movies. But there are those nights that I go out with my girls and have a good time. :)

Jock or Nerd. Which one would you really rather settle down with?

I'd rather settle down with a nerd. The jock won't really love you for you!

Why is your team the best to cheer for?

Dwyane Wade... He is a great player and very attractive. :)

In a few years I'd like to audition to become a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader.

When you’re not dancing, where can people find you?

At PPRCS working as a Personal Assistant, at Lifetime gym working out, or at the library doing school work.

What’s the craziest thing a dude’s ever done to hit on you? In or out of stadium?

It's all about what they say to you...I’ve heard some pretty crazy things!

Why is your team the best to cheer for?

I've always loved my Pistons because I'm a native Detroiter, but besides that, they're a great team with a very hardworking coach. They've proven time and time again that they can Go to Work! I'm very blessed to be able to cheer for a team like this!

Who is your all-time favorite NBA player? Why?

I've never really been a basketball fan, just a Pistons fan! I'd have to say Chauncey Billups though, because he’s a really good player and won MVP for The Finals in 2004!
