Thanks to Gabrielle Union, we now know what some of our favorite NBA stars look like while straddling a banana boat.

The photo of the summer featured LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers, and Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat enjoying a water ride in the Bahamas with Union at the helm.

While appearing on Tuesday's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the actress said she talked the three men into participating after they had revealed they were worried paparazzi may capture them.

"Everyone was very geeked to get on this banana," Union explained. "We had been a little nervous the first couple days about paparazzi and getting photographed in a compromising position or something … It was the only thing we had not tried on the boat. I was like, 'Guys, we have to do the banana. No one is going to see this!'"

But we all did.

Thank you, Gabby.
