Are you cheating? Be sure you take a look at the blurred-out versions of these and try your hand at guessing first. But if you're itching for the answers, here they are:
No. 1: C.J. Watson
Last week, Watson reached a deal to be the new backup point guard for the Indiana Pacers. Apparently he has some doubters, and he's not too happy about it.
No. 2: Phil Jackson
My totem is the imagery of members of the first 3Peat. Hail to their dedication and team spirit. 20 years ago-snap pic.twitter.com/AVixZr4Bi0

With the Miami Heat perhaps working on a three-peat and the Los Angeles Lakers over a decade removed now from theirs, the Zen Master took time out to remind us all of the greatness of his Chicago Bulls teams, posting this snazzy picture.
No. 3: Brandon McCarthy
. @WildThingMLBN I hope the clip of me nearly dying helped you make one of your asinine points.
— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) July 11, 2013
While a clip of McCarthy's scary 2012 injury was playing during a recent episode of MLB Tonight, MLB network analyst Mitch Williams said, "If you don't pitch (inside), this is what's gonna happen." McCarthy fired back with a scathing rebutall and unleashed a Twitter meme in response.
No. 4: Iron Sheik
Yes, it's our old friend Sheikie Baby. Often too full of controversial language to feature in this space, the Sheik gets it just right with this tweet.
No. 5: Roddy White
The George Zimmerman verdict has elicted waves of response from athletes since it landed Saturday night. The Falcons wide receiver sent out a particularly caustic tweet, saying, "All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid." He later followed up with this apology.
No. 6: Brian Vickers
It had been 139 races since Vickers had scored a Cup series win. That stretch included a medical leave of absence to deal with a blod clot issue. On Sunday, at Loudon, Vickers snapped the skid and found himself back in Victory Lane.
No. 7: Jordan Spieth
I owe that whole week to my family, friends, @CMcCormickGolf @AMPDgolffitness . It's a team win and I'm lucky for everything y'all have done
— Jordan Spieth (@JordanSpieth) July 15, 2013
Just 19 years old and a PGA tour winner. Spieth became the youngest winner in 82 years on tour on Sunday when he won the John Deere Classic in a playoff, earning himself a spot in the British Open and starting a torrent of discussion about golf's next big thing.
No. 8: San Jose Sharks
Hey @espn, thoughts on showing more hockey highlights?
— San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) July 12, 2013
The tweet of the week goes to the NHL's San Jose Sharks. After ESPN's Twitter account sent them a — um — toothless joke about switching their name to the Sharknados (because why wouldn't you want to be named for a campy Syfy original movie?), the team responded with quite the burn.
