Rafael Nadal & Bar Refaeli’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Sexiness

She’s always been easy on the eyes, and Bar Refaeli is exceptionally beautiful in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Posing with Michael Phelps, Chris Paul, and Rafael Nadal, the Israeli stunner worked her magic for the camera, manned by photographer Walter Iooss Jr.

In a recent interview, Bar confessed that she felt a little less than perfect in her photo spread this time around, given that her posing partners were chiseled out of stone, so to speak.

“Are you kidding? Of course! I’m talking about Rafael Nadal, Michael Phelps, and Chris Paul! It’s not like I’m talking about, some, I don’t know, college team.”

She added, “It was fun because we were just being silly, and it wasn’t all about posing; it was just about the energy and the vibe around it, and we had a blast with the three of them.”
