Claudia Porras is a model basketball player - in more ways than one.
The EL PASO TIMES has the story on Porras, UTEP senior and member of the Bolivian women’s national team. Although she’s been a solid bench player for the 19th-ranked Miners, it’s Claudia’s previous off-court endeavors that’s gotten attention.
(Pics after the jump.)
Before she hit the hardwood, Claudia showed off her hardbody, as she posed for some modeling pics while still in her native Bolivia.
A small sampling of her revealing work:
Ay caramba!
But Porras is not just a pretty face. UTEP coach Keitha Adams speaks very highly of her Bolivian bench star: “She has a great attitude, a great work ethic. She’s a good student; she’s a real joy to have in the program.”
And the feeling’s mutual with Claudia and her collegiate surroundings: “Coming here was one of the best decisions in my life. I’m so happy to be here. I feel at home.”
And we’re all happy for you, Claudia. Good luck with the rest of your season, and we hope to see you in the WNBA next year! (It’s the only reason we’d watch.)

Dear Claudia
Wellcome to Lemvig in Denmark. I will love to see you playing basket. In fact, I will love to see you also without playing basketball.
You are very beautiful and - I think - also very intelligent and sweet.
I wish you all the best.
Kind regards,
Carsten

Momma Mia, thats one hot latina. Lots of these lady hoopsters are manly, or have no interest in men, but this one truly is a hottie.

I heartily agree, Joonbugg. Claudia is one bonita b-ball chica!

I am appalled at the sexist comments here. This fine looking young lady obviously wants to be recognized for her athletic abilities and you all should be ashamed for your knuckledragging, tongue wagging…….oh god, she is HOT!
