Talkin' body: Kevin Love to be featured in mag's special issue

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love will be showing off a new side of himself.

The Cavs star will be featured in this year's "Body Issue" of "ESPN The Magazine" along with 23 other athletes spanning a plethora of sports realms.

Love has already been on the cover of "GQ" magazine, as well as on a massive Starter billboard in downtown Cleveland when he joined the Cavs.

The 26-year-old will presumably be less clothed in this venture, as the publication's annual issue exhibits "the strength and vulnerability" of the athletes through images showcasing their physiques as well as written and video interviews.

When it comes to on-court business, Love, who had surgery after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in Game 4 of the Cavs' first-round sweep of the Boston Celtics, has a player option on his current contract.

Cavs general manager David Griffin said last week he expects both Love and teammate LeBron James to opt out of their current deals but return to the team.
