Blake Griffin gets naked for ESPN

There's no NBA season to entertain fans of the Clippers' young star Blake Griffin, so they will have to be satisfied that he's naked in the Body Issue of ESPN the Magazine. Go behind the scenes of his photo shoot in the video above, as he talks about being photographed without clothes. Local note: Olympic snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler was photographed for her nude scene outdoors at the Chateau Marmont, though not as outdoors as U.S. soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo, who is shown watering an undisclosed lawn while nude.
