Nothing like a new crop of naked athletes, right?!
ESPN The Magazine just released their seventh annual Body Issue, with some of sports' biggest stars baring it all for the popular edition.
Cleveland Cavaliers baller Kevin Love put his naked bod on display for one of the mag's coveted covers, revealing some dirty details about the revealing shoot.
"I have to ask you -- are you really, fully nude or are there pasties in strategic [spots], and underwear, or is it like the full monty?" ABC News' Mara Schiavocampo asked. "A little bit of both," Love replied with a laugh.
"In a way when you first take off that robe you are like, 'Here I am! I'm out there,'" he said. "So it was an experience. ... It took probably 45 minutes to an hour to really get comfortable but once we started going I was pretty good and really getting into it."
To make sure the NBA star was camera-ready, he even switched up his diet and workout plans to prepare for the naked shoot.
"I always say that it is easier to stay in shape than to get back into shape, so I always make sure that I am always having the proper nutrition, always working out, and always working with the right people so this was no substitute," he explained.
While the 6-feet-10-inch athlete is in tip-top shape now, that wasn't the case in high school.
"I'm probably down between 30 and 40 pounds since then," he said of his weight loss. "What I wanted most was a body that was going to afford me the opportunity to play at a very high level."
Lookin' good, Love!
