Ciara is posing in the latest issue of Men’s Health Magazine and is not only showing off her killer body, she’s also listings some of her role models which are male athletes. In the article in the November 2008 issues Ciara talks a little bit about specific people who influence her:

“I take my motivation from athletes—basketball players in particular,” she says. “I love LeBron James because he’s my age and full of ambition and drive. I love Michael Jordan. You can tell he chose to work hard to set himself outside the pack. There was so much pressure, but he pulled through every time. That energy motivates me.”

When Ciara’s not posing sexy for magazine photoshoots, she gearing up for her December release of her album Fantasy Ride. Be sure to go buy Ciara’s latest single, Go Girl featuring T-Pain, on iTunes today!
