ESPN The Magazine’s 2011 “Body Issue,” in which several athletes strip down and pose nude or semi-nude, comes out on Friday and the cover images have been released. ESPN announced last week that women’s soccer star Hope Solo, Rams running back Steven Jackson and NBA phenom Blake Griffin would be among the athletes to pose. Solo, Griffin, snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, Mets shortstop Jose Reyes and star goalkeeper Tim Howard were chosen to grace the covers of the 2011 issue. if(typeof AOLVP_cfg===’undefined’)AOLVP_cfg=[];AOLVP_cfg.push({id:’AOLVP_1202178455001′,’codever’:0.1, ‘autoload’:true, ‘autoplay’:false, ‘playerid’:’61371448001′, ‘videoid’:’1202178455001′, ‘width’:575, ‘height’:323, ‘stillurl’:’http://pdl.stream.aol.com/pdlext/aol/brightcove/ame/201110/05/28359/tvr_so_100511_access__8_640x360.jpg’, ‘playertype’:’inline’,’videotitle’:’Hope Solo visits ‘Access Hollywood Live’ to talk about ‘DWTS’ and her ESPN nude photo shoot 10/05/11 – TV Replay’,’videodesc’:’undefined’,’videolink’:’#’}); Scroll through the photos below and vote on which one is the best!
