Acquisition: GQ Magazine, October 2000



No, I did not purchase this back issue of GQ Magazine for the cover feature on Kevin Spacey.  Shit, I hadn't even known what a Kevin Spacey is (turns out he's appeared in some movies).



Rather, I purchased this magazine for the article and accompanying photo shoot featuring the infamous 2000 NBA Draft class.  The article is decent, but the true gems are the photographs.  Within, Chris Mihm wears expensive cashmere sweaters and alligator shoes, Mike Miller looks like a Backstreet Boy in leather and a Kangol, and Marcus Fizer dons a gaudy fur jacket.  But most importantly Stromile Swift appears in a full-page photo, dressed in an outfit that might be described as Clyde Frazier-inspired. 





I was a little disappointed the article doesn't make any mention of Swift; however, for $14.98 shipped I'm pleased to add the magazine to my Stro Show collection.

NBA Doodles, Round Four


Ironically, I think the poor quality of my computer's built-in camera makes my highlighter doodles look better.  So now I present to you three NBA champions--Birdman, DeShawn Stevenson, and LeBron James, none of them wearing the uniform in which they won the championship.
