Getting your player ready...
There’s no panic in Blake Griffin, whether it’s holding out with his fellow NBA players for a better labor deal or posing nearly nude. ESPN The Magazine’s annual Body Issue hits newsstands today with Griffin fronting one of the four covers. Soccer player Hope Solo, New York Mets star Jose Reyes and Aspen snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler are on the others. Griffin described the experience, in which he wears only a white thong, as “uncomfortable at first. But then after a while I didn’t really care. . . . After a while, I was like, ‘Whatever, it’s OK.’ I guess I’m more comfortable now with less clothes,” he said, smiling. The Associated Press
