ESPNâs second annual âBody Issue,â featuring various athletes posing in the nude, hits newsstands Friday.
This yearâs edition features six different cover subjects, including WNBA superstar Diana Taurasi and New York Knicks star Amarâe Stoudemire among others, and dozens of other athletes inside the issue. The athletes are posed with all private areas strategically (and in some instances creatively) covered.
This issue is one of ESPN magazineâs most-talked-about. All of the photos are artistic in nature, yet give readers an up-close eyeful of the raw strength and beauty of some of the worldâs most fit athletic forms.
Which athlete would you like to see in the buff in ESPNâs issue next year?

NEW YORK--WNBA star Diana Taurasi wears nothing but a basketball and a tattoo in her cover photos for ESPN The Magazine 2nd Annual Body Issue hitting newsstands Friday.
USA TODAY'S Michael McCarthy got an exclusive first look at the Phoenix Mercury star's two magazine covers. One is shown here. The other shows a naked Taurasi (with private parts strategically covered) with a basketball against her hip.
ESPN The Magazine editor-in-chief Gary Belsky has predicted Taurasi's image will be "completely turned upside down" by the risqué photos.
Besides Taurasi, there will be five other cover subjects for the Body Issue this year. They are: a dozen members of the USA Water Polo Women's National team; New York Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire; U.S. World Cup goalkeeper Tim Howard; PGA Tour golfer Camilo Villegas; and Dutch wheelchair tennis player Esther Vergeer.
Other athletes featured in this year's Body Issue include: tennis star Venus Williams; San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis; Florida Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez; billiards player Jeanette "The Black Widow" Lee; Olympic skier Julia Mancuso; figure skater Evan Lysacek; surfer Kelly Slater; volleyball player Kim Glass; track and field athlete Rachel Yurkovich; and ex-NFL running back Herschel Walker.
The first Body Issue last fall also featured six cover subjects: tennis star Serena Williams; Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard; Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson; NASCAR driver Carl Edwards; mixed martial artist Gina Carano; and amputee track star Sarah Reinertsen.

I'll be honest with you, I always thought Taurasi looked butch. When I saw the cover shot of her, I was stunned. Not saying she is a looker, but she certainly turned out being someone who looked better without clothing than with!
