Not the greatest of omens considering Dwight & Nash made the cover before that nightmare season.

I likey...

Cool. Wish that Mamba didn't have such a big smile on this pic. People need to see he means business this yr.!

Nice cover, but I'm not too happy about it to be honest. I don't want the Lakers to have any hype this season, just want the hype to be the result of their play on the court.

I'm expecting Kobe to have his typical superstar performances this season before he retires he's one of those guys you know Is gonna want to destroy the league before he calls it quits.

I wish Kobe was choking him. Would be much more fitting.

Clarkson and Randle. Wonder what they think.

yea cheesy a$$ pic lol

first thought that came to my mind lol. and these guys imo have been outplaying russel so far lol

i'm buying that tomorrow.

Russell is averaging 8ppg, 4apg, 3prg, .5spg, 45% from the field, and 37% from 3 in 16mpg

* take out that fifth game where he played 3mins and 30 secs before he got hurt and wasn't allowed to comeback in.

I mean damn, people, not some of you, but people are crying over a kid whose production is already good for any 15min player and who could easily hit a 12,5,5 average in 24mins a night

Should be getting this in the mail then. I bought a subscription on discountmaga. Years worth of issues for $10

Good deal for the kid (and Kobe too but it probably means more to Russell than Kobe) Look forward to reading the article Jenkins is usually pretty on point

Its apparently a series of covers with the same caption. Wade/Winslow, KG/KAT. So theme is rook with mentors. So Clarkson and Randle shouldn't take it personally.

Thank you!

I've had a free subsciption with SI for almost two years now. I don't even flip through 90% of their magazines, but this one was cool.

Its more funny when you realize Kobe is just about old enough to be Russell's father.
