The story within a story with this cover is that Nike pulled off a huge coup having CJ wear those shoes.
i had forgotten that...didn't even know the story until a few years ago.

Right. It was at a time in college basketball when the shoe wars were just taking off. It was something that they didn't make a public statement over but behind the scenes it was HUGE. Back then, (when I was there) the programs received huge bucks for shoe brands. I'm not sure how its handled now.

such a great player at LSU! I've got this framed at my house. (As are All times LSU has been on cover of SI are framed) csb
One of the only ones who I've seen get a steal run full speed, stop on a dime at the 3 pt line and shoot and drain it, instead of taking it all the way for an easy lay up.
To the guys arguing who was best, I'll just say this.....Its a shame that team of CJ, Shaq, and Vernel, et all didn't make it to the final 4 much less win it all!!
