It’s a skin-win situation for ESPN The Magazine readers this month.
For the sixth time in as many years, world-class athletes will grace the pages of ESPN Magazine in the buff for the publications sixth annual ESPN the Magazine’s Body Issue.

Past installments of the magazine’s annual Body Issue have included some of the biggest names in sports posing nude, including NBA stars Blake Griffith and Dwight Howard, and tennis star Serena Williams.

This year’s issue will not disappoint – and Williams’ sister makes her debut appearance in the highly anticipated special issue.

“We somehow manage to raise the bar each year,” the magazine’s editor in chief Chad Millman told ESPN.com. “This year’s collection of exceptional athletes and stunning photography showcases an array of sports and body types. It inhabits our mission to pay tribute to these athletes’ bodies and all they are capable of.”
