We knew two of our favorite champions, Orlando Magic player Dwight Howard and Tennis Pro Serena Williams, had heart, but we didn't know they also had body. The two grace the cover of ESPN magazine's "Body Issue," totally nude. 

Serena's posed in the buff before (in Jane magazine, back in 2006), but we're pretty sure this was Dwight's first time. He told NBA's Fanhouse blog that "actually it [the photoshoot] was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the shoot and I hope the pictures are interesting for people."
 
Mixed Martial Artist Gina Carano and NFL Player Adrian Peterson were also featured on covers of this issue.
 

This issue will hit newsstands later this month.
