ESPN The Magazine digitally released its annual “Body Issue” this week, featuring professional athletes baring it all.
Tennis star Venus Williams posed for the new issue and discussed her journey with Sjogren’s syndrome, an immune system disorder that decreases the production of mucous membranes and moisture-secreting glands, and even talked playing basketball with Derrick Rose.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka told The Magazine that he had a poster of fellow NBA star Kevin Garnett hanging in his room as a kid and opened up about recent injuries.
The generally reserved Marshawn Lynch joined this year’s group of athletes. The recent Super Bowl champ took photos in Oakland where he grew up. The competitor even dared to say fellow “Body Issue” athlete, swimmer Michael Phelps, “wouldn’t have been on the Wheaties box if I stuck with swimming.”
