Classic Inside the NBA is the best sports-related media, just hours of Shaq and Charles Barkley calling each other fat and stupid and never coming to a resolution about which one is the fattest and stupidest of them all the time Kenny knocked Shaq down into a christmas tree and he fell in slow motion still makes me lol

I'm not joking, I just got my first issue like a week ago.

Not surprised. I haven't seen SI publish hardly anything in forever and was just wondering when this was gonna happen.

One time I found a soda bottle cap that said I'd won a free sports illustrated subscription but I never turned it in Welp that's my sports illustrated story

I saved the issue when Tiger won the Masters back in 2018. It's in one of the guest bedrooms right now.

I'd just open it and get 2 sodas.

Why would I read a magazine about sports when I can watch ESPN 24/7 I like when they show the top plays but I also like the top bad plays too they are good for a laugh but sometimes I feel bad for the player who goofed up

Hey Playboy executives here's your window to start publishing physical magazines again, get yourself some sports reporters and fill this vacancy, then guys everywhere can claim they really are reading the articles Gotta admit I haven't seen a SI mag anywhere in years, so I thought they had actually gone all digital, no idea they were tanking this badly

I think I started subscribing to them in 6th grade. We had a magazine drive at school and if you got like 10 or something subscriptions you’d get a box of 48 caramel apple pops. Not like real ones, it was just apple flavored candy with caramel. Another year it was orange cream, and the last year it was a 5 pound bag of gummy worms. Anyway I think I stayed subscribed for twelve years or so, Rick Reilly and Steve Rushin always had great articles to read. Plus every year I’d get either a fleece throw blanket or a hoodie. I can’t say I’m sad to see them go because I haven’t paid any attention to them in like a decade but maybe kid me would be sad
