Gracing the cover of SLAM is something that still has massive relevance among true hoopers from grassroots levels to the very own Association.
Too bad, SLAM wasn’t a thing until 1994 when the magazine launched in full. Thus, one of the best New York Knicks players ever never had the chance of earning that accolade—one you can rest assured he hella sure would have gotten had the Basketball Bible been around 10 years earlier.
This was the cover of SLAM ish No. 84, released in February 2005, in which the editors paid homage to the best Christmas Day performance ever.
