SLAM was founded in 1994 as the “in your face basketball magazine” covering all things hoop-related, from every level of the game—NBA, NCAA, high school, streetball and more—to the kicks and lifestyle that has become a culture unto itself. Twenty-four years later, SLAM is still the No. 1 dominant media brand, in print, online and on all social media platforms. We get at the game’s biggest stars in a way no other outlet can. From LeBron James and Kevin Durant to Stephen Curry and James Harden, SLAM brings the reader face to face with their favorite players, whether in the magazine or on their Instagram feed, all day, every day. SLAM was launched as “the basketball bible,” and we continue to be the ultimate destination for the true basketball fan.
