ESPN The Magazine's Music Issue arrives on newsstands Friday, and prominently injured NBA stars will grace two of the three covers in print.
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul is alongside Kendrick Lamar (who is apparently a Lakers fan...oops) on one of the issue's covers.
And Los Angeles Lakers veteran Kobe Bryant shared a weird, sitcom family-ish moment with Nicki Minaj on another cover.
NFL wide receiver Calvin Johnson Jr. of the Detroit Lions appears on the third cover with Motor City favorite, Eminem.
Past editions of The Music Issue have brought us the likes of Ryan Lochte as the Nirvana baby, and Josh Freeman as Michael Jackson (of the Thriller era).
