Nice. Although I'm not sure what day the issues get released. I'm guessing Friday?

I like the way they show G soaring the highest with vertical hops of about 5 feet(!) but then they have him fouling Terrence Williams over-the-back.

great- now we can expect a youtube clip of this as further evidence of Duke getting all the calls, along with a demand for a suspension!

Yeah, and I don't like the look on his face either. Better T him up!

This is the March 9 issue? As a subscriber, you usually get the issue 4 or 5 days before the cover date. (It was 3 when I lived in the boonies). So people could be getting it as early as today.

Yeah, I just checked the website and it says it's the 3/9/09 issue.

On another note, interesting how Beaker did not appear in the photo. Then again, he's better known for his traveling than he is for his hops.;)

[weezie]

Yeah...I'm warning the rest of the people in my office that my copy had better not "disappear" like the swimsuit issue did, Who cares about girl's bathing suits anyway ;)

[statik73]

Lawson has Zero chance of getting that ball.

Fortunately the swimsuit issue does not feature any actual bathing suits. :eek:

Flaunt it while ya got it!

That rim looks like it is about eleven and a half feet high.

Beaker would look out of place sprawled on the floor. Its about hops, not flops.

[fogey]

next thing you know, IC will publish the follow up shot and Lawson will be all blood.

What I want to know: Can SI jinx eight teams with one cover?

I got this issue today in the mail up here in Boston, but haven't read the article yet.

i respectfully disagree....that is a clean block... ALL ball..


that is all G EVER does.....Clean blox....ALL ball.....


i have mad high def....

[duketaylor]

has Hansblahblah fallen to not make that cover? While Gerald's now predicted to be a top 5 draft pick, Tyler must not even be 1st round, right?

[miramar]

Now they are not only going to accuse Henderson of being a dirty player and of excessive celebration, but also of making fascist salutes on the court.

[elvis14]

That's a pretty cool picture. It does look like G has our jumped them all. His waist is higher than everyone else. I love the fact that Hansblahbeakertravelputz isn't on the cover.

Ah yeah, that would be me :D

[Kim*]

I just love that G is the furthest away from the ball, yet I'd still put money on him coming out with it.

[Oh Canada]

On another note, interesting how Beaker did not appear in the photo. Then again, he's better known for his traveling than he is for his hops.;)

Would have been funnier to see GH leaping over TH though. You know, in the elbow vicinity. That would have started all the smack talk.

[UrinalCake]

I read the article last night and found it interesting that Duke was not really talked about at all, except for appearing in the listing of teams that have been ranked #1 this year. Hope we can continue to fly under the radar and surprise some people.

[BlueDevilBaby]

no jinx, no jinx, no jinx, no jinx, no jinx, no jinx, no jinx,no jinx,no jinx, no jinx!

Incidentally, I laughed out loud last night when an announcer during a game mentioned the next WVa game and how WVa is in danger of not making the NCAAT - ha! Duke curse strikes again.:D

[dgoore97]

nbadraft.net has him as a lottery pick

It also looks like Thabeet is going to swat the hell out of whoever gets that board.

http://www.nbadraft.net/Anyone think G could go 3, 4 or 5 if he polished his game and played an entire year like the latter part of this season? Next year he could average 22 points, lead Duke to something like a 34-3 season and possibly win NPOY. :)

[dukeman28428]

G needs to stay one more year at Duke. He can move to top 3 in draft I think and he will only get better. Just look at his improvement the last half of this season so far. I hope he will stay as we need him on next years team. I am sure he will get great advice from Coach and his Dad. Pray he stays!!
