They could put anything on the cover, as long as its associated with SLAM it'll be garbage regardless. Slam is like what would happen if the Icy Hot Stuntaz produced their own magazine.

It's by SLAM and either someone really loves BJ there or he's got an in.

Those guys and DIME are always pumping Jennings.

Jennings represets everything those magazines stand for...to the 'T.' He will be on those mags covers every year he is in the league like Iverson was.
He has the swag, the game, the personna, the upside, the showmanship, and the street cred' if I can call it that to sell them a lot of magazines. Brandon once he tightens up his grammar and delivery without getting too corporate and stuffy and keep a little streetball edge, can be a very good pitchman and salesman as well for Kicks and other products.
As long as he keeps his level head straight and those things does not get in the way...of what is really important. He can't get it all twisted. You still have to play well and you still have to play to win...
Pair him up with someone like Carmelo hypothetically, and it is all over...you can hang it up. The Bucks will own those companies in a sense. LOL
If the Bucks can ever ever ever...get him someone who can be a great two man tandem with him it is over...Not sure if that is Bogut. If Bogut develops a Duncan like face up game, he could be the guy.
Maggette it remains to be seen. He has potential but but he is already found his niche. I would love for it to be Sanders down the road, now that would be awesome.

Are those the shoes on the magazine cover? If so, they look pretty nice. I wonder how much they'll retail for? I might have to get a pair if they are reasonable.

I'm trying to get away from Nike. Their shoes always seem to be too narrow for my feet, and I don't really approve of their business model. But, I couldn't resist these:

The Penny Hardaway 1/2 Cent. MSRP $190.00, I got them for $69.00 at Marshall's in the Mall of America. Clearance, the only way to go. Best basketball shoes I've ever had.

Wait til next offseason when this same picture is on the cover of Sports Illustrated as the top NBA Draft Bust in the past 50 years. That's exactly where FUN will take you.

I've been having fun for about 21 years now and I'm PREEEEEEEETTY sure that's exactly why I'm not in the NBA

They look darker, and from what I can tell, left shin, lower left arm, and the heels of his hands are new.

He is on the cover of Kicks because this is UnderArmour's first foray into pro basketball shoes (they've got some college with Maryland, mostly). That's also why you see Jennings in SLAM so much. He's got UnderArmour pulling the strings.

That Furious Styles reference got me going. I'm sure Brandon would get the inference.
