Derek Jeter
Seed: 2
Age: 27
Occupation: New York Yankees shortstop
|  | | Dutta |
Significant other: Currently unknown to Page 2, but we're willing to bet he ain't sleeping alone. ... Formerly dated pop star Mariah Carey. ... Also dated former Miss Universe Lara Dutta.
Why we'd want to be this dude: He's the undisputed Prince of New York and is greeted with screams from swooning women every time he comes to the plate. ... He won four World Series rings in his first six seasons and is a good bet to be outfitting his "other" hand fairly soon. ... He has been named to the list of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" twice. ... He signed a 10-year, $189 million contract in February 2001.

Why we wouldn't want to be this dude: Mariah has seemed less than stable since he dumped her. ... One of his best friends (Alex Rodriguez) is the only person in baseball who makes more money than he does. ... He looked pretty uncomfortable in front of the camera during his stint on "Saturday Night Live" last year -- especially during that skit where he wore a dress. ... No matter how good things are in the Bronx right now, George Steinbrenner is still the guy signing his checks.

Rick Fox
Seed: 3
Age: 32
Occupation: Los Angeles Lakers forward
|  | | Williams |
Significant other: Married actress/singer/former Miss America Vanessa Williams on Sept. 25, 1999.
Why we'd want to be this dude: Most men's fantasies involve beautiful women, athletic achievements or success in movies or television. This dude has achieved all three. ... Fox is an above-average NBA player, but because he happens to play on the same team as Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, he also happens to be a two-time NBA champion (with a decent chance of adding a third ring in June). ... He's also a regular on HBO's ultra-cool series "Oz" and has appeared in such movies as "Eddie" and "He Got Game" -- and nobody's forgotten his most enviable scene in the latter. ... Fox also grew up in the Bahamas, which is an experience that we'd rate as not bad. ... Did we mention that he's married to Vanessa Williams?
Why we wouldn't want to be this dude: He can't quite figure out what he wants to do with his hair. First, there was that wild curly moptop. Now, he's sporting the shaved head -- which clearly isn't his best look. ... The guy has averaged less than 10 points per game during his 11-year career, so his athletic talents don't quite match up with some of the other candidates on the list. Nor for that matter, does his contract (a measly $3.8 million in 2001-02).
