Tennis pro Serena Williams and Orlando Magic center Dwight “Superman” Howard are two of the athletes who get naked for a series of covers for ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue.

This issue has been called ESPN’s response to Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue.  Evidently they think that naked pictures of real athletes is more … genuine?  sporting?  I’m not sure … than pictures of models in bikinis.   The other covers in the series feature NASCAR driver Carl Edwards, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, MMA fighter Gina Carano, and triathlete Sarah Reinertsen.

Get into the sexiness and humor of this issue (and see lots more hot bodies) with the behind the scenes video below!
