Nude athletes in ESPN's Body Issue show-off just enough in these portraits to get anyone a little hot and bothered. It includes top athletes like Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, soccer player Omar Gonzalez, NFL power forward Serge Ibaka (right) and pro tennis player Tomas Berdych and Venus Williams
Much of the buzz about this year’s edition surrounds the inclusion of the Texas Rangers’ 6-foot, 275-lb infielder Prince Fielder, who graces one of several covers. “A lot of people probably think I’m not athletic or don’t even try to work out or whatever, but I do,” said Fielder. “Just because you’re big doesn’t mean you can’t be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn’t mean you’re going to have a 12-pack.”
