    i got the shirt with the Iverson Soul on Ice cover!!!!!!!!

  • Ben Osborne Posted: Jan.9 at 5:42 pm
    I’m pleased with my cover story and confident you guys will like it. My videography skills? Not so much. Thankfully Lang made this look pretty fresh, all things considered.

  • B. Long Posted: Jan.9 at 5:46 pm
    Those Questions are hot. Ivey kept Reebok in buisness.

  • rob stewart Posted: Jan.9 at 5:48 pm
    How can I cop a pair of those Reebok Questions!

  • Ben Osborne Posted: Jan.9 at 5:57 pm
    Come back here next week, rob stewart.

    you’re gonna be waiting for a long time bbaby…

  • ciolkstar Posted: Jan.9 at 6:46 pm
    as if I ewasn’t already jealous of everybody working at SLAM. Feeling the “we talking bout practice?” Remix though and seriously, how is Reebok still in business?

  • Moose Posted: Jan.9 at 6:53 pm
    Ben! Another contest?

  • Weapon X Posted: Jan.9 at 9:53 pm
    The Answer!

    F*ckin’ injuries, man. Frick.
    Yi was playing the best basketball of his life and he breaks his pinky. F*ckin’ injuries man.

  • tealish Posted: Jan.10 at 4:22 am
    Ciolk: AI is single handedly keeping them in business. I underestimate his marketability sometimes.

  • awesomepossum Posted: Jan.10 at 5:31 am
    There is one more Answer cover for all of us i’m sure..

  • Moose Posted: Jan.10 at 8:08 am
    Won’t keep him outta the all-star team, Teddy-the-bear. :)

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jan.10 at 2:21 pm

  • Big Marv Posted: Jan.10 at 4:10 pm

  • jivan ivan Posted: Jan.10 at 6:58 pm

  • Tzvi T Posted: Jan.10 at 7:34 pm
    Great video. Was that Atiba I spotted positioning and repositioning AI? Amazing photographer!

  • shakobe22 Posted: Jan.11 at 1:54 am
    atiba is dope

  • chronically_ill Posted: Jan.11 at 2:13 am
    Dope cover shoot! Does anyone know the name of the song?

  • Hursty Posted: Jan.11 at 8:01 am
    Yeh I wouldn’t mind knowing the song name either.
    I like being able to see the ‘inside’ of a cover shoot. That’s cool.
    Any chance we can see the whole process? Like someone going around with a handheld documenting the whole process from calling agents for the cover shoot ok to the photography, to the story writing, the layout of the pages to the printing to the finished copy? Cos that would be so dope!
    Thanks again ladies n gentlemen!

  • BillyG Posted: Jan.20 at 11:17 pm
    I was just wondering if anyone knows what kind of shorts those are that AI is wearing with that white Reebok T-shirt; or where I could buy them?

  • MARCUS WYNDER Posted: Jan.26 at 6:15 pm
    Yo they should make the questions customizable

  • Ben Osborne Posted: Feb.3 at 11:30 am
    Still working on details on that Question AI signed in the video. Once I have it I still plan to give it away on the site.

    [...] so do many of you. So check this out: You may remember that a week or so after the cover, we posted this cover video, and as some commenters noticed, Allen can be seen at the end signing a never-before-seen pair of [...]
