In this episode of Running the Break, CJ and Alex talk about the cultural relevance of the quintessential NBA Magazine, SLAM.  Listen as they discuss the impact of SLAM over the years, some of their favorite covers, issues and sections, and how SLAM helped shape fans’ image of the game at a crucial time in its growth. They look back on the '96 draft cover, the photographer behind the iconic Showbiz & KG photo shoot, and the nostalgia of keeping a crisp new copy of SLAM in their backpacks. To dig more into the development of SLAM and NBA magazines, check out Alex's upcoming book, "Cover Story: The NBA and Modern Basketball as Told through Its Most Iconic Magazine Covers."
