Sadly, this is NOT our next cover

But go ‘head and download it as if it were….

By Ben Osborne

Next issue will be on stands next week and covered here on the site by Lang Tuesday. In the meantime, imagine that someone in the SLAM family (besides occasional contributor Branden Peters) had enough faith in G State to give the Warriors some front-page love. Hopefully this effort (thanks to art director Melissa Brennan for creating her third SLAM cover of the month) helps makes amends for our gross miscalculations.

If you want to download this “cover” to use as a desktop image or whatever, simply click here.

And Warrior fans, enjoy the spotlight; y’all deserve it. And, given how plodding and shaky both the Jazz and Rockets are, don’t be surprised to see Warrior Mania last into the WC Finals.

    hah nice. i live in the bay and it sucks to se bandwagon-ers appear outta nowhere, it’s like kings fans converting just cause sac had a sucky season.

  • John

    What about Warriors “fans” who jumped ship to the Kings in the late 90′s? I say welcome back, because this was long overdue.

    Anyone who isn’t happy about this situation must not love the game of basketball. Classic material. Whoo goes through 4 games to 2? Somewhere Ron Artest is passing a blunt over to JR Rider and is feeling vicariously vindicated.

    in actuality, there are only like 10,000 warrior fans, all those fans you now see in the arena, are all people who werent fans throughout our more than a decade long drought of the playoffs. Me and my boy Kyle have been warrior fans even when we won 12 games in a season, now all those people bought all our cheap seats!!! buncha fair weather fans, could you imagine how much people won in vegas if there are actually any fans there??? damn, wish i was that lucky bastard

    GIVE KOBE THE NEXT COVER!!!!!

  • http://slamonline.com Ben Osborne

    Ron Artest was at the game! Think JR’s in jail, though. BP is on the hunt for him…

  • Zee

    As I wrote a few weeks ago: ” Lang you’re giving Dallas way to much credit”. In the words of the great Biz Markie – “Damn it feels good to see people up on it!” Your we believe T-Shirt is on the way. Hater.

  • Dean

  • Tammy

  • chronically_ill

    How did Stephen Jackson get that cool nickname?

  • 1hush D

    I am taking my American liberty and proclaiming Stephen Jackson’s new nickname: WarJak. It is similar too, but so different from Kojak because Kojak was a crime fighter and well WarJak, a criminal. I would rather have a Warrior criminal than a cop on my side.

  • http://punditfight.com american pundit fighting

    nice touch putting Jackson on there, rather than the supernova shining right now- B Diddy. How bout this for a cover Mcgrady and Nowitzki side by side. Awkward

  • Zee

    Make this cover a reality, In the words of J-dilla: ” Ya’ll outta there, y’all know y’ll outta there. come with the real.”

  • http://www.nba.com Keny’e Bogan-EL

    This cover is off the hook. I mean the Warriors are awesome. That’s one of my top teams in the western conference now.

  • doug

    stephen jackson he cool man,

  • Jay

    Great stuff. Maybe not a bestseller though :-S
