NBA Stars Playing Flag Football

Cassy Athena Vasile

NBA players have found a number of ways to stay busy during the lockout -- charity basketball games, internships, taking second jobs, even volleyball. But few players have stayed busier than Brandon Jennings. The Milwaukee Bucks guard has played in pick-up hoops games across the country, but recently, he took up another sport: flag football. Here are some of the best shots of Jennings (pictured) and fellow NBA players Nick Young, DeMar DeRozan, Corey Maggette, Matt Barnes on the gridiron.
