MIAMI _ Three words of warning for Lisa Harrison:

Don't do it.

Don't pose nude for Playboy.

Don't embarrass yourself, your gender and female athletes everywhere with a cheesy photo spread in a publication that is as exploitative and archaic as the Miss America pageant.

Don't perpetuate the objectification of the female body.

Don't take the $100,000. Not only is it a cheap prize for winning the magazine's "Sexiest Babes of the WNBA" poll, but you'd be as underpaid by Playboy as you are by the WNBA, which pays you $40,000 for being a starting forward for the Phoenix Mercury. Chris Webber will earn $213,414 per game.

Don't become another trophy in Hugh Hefner's collection.
