Most Memorable SI Cover

[Clyde]

For those of a certain age you will remember having a subscription to Sports Illustrated or remember reading a friend's copy or going to the library to read them.

 

When I say "SI cover" which cover comes to mind?

 

Note: I'm not not asking about your favorite or what you consider the most famous. This is an association type thing.

 

 

Mine was Dr J when he played for the Nets. Money was always tight around the ol' Clyde household so we only took one family vacation. This was the issue I read over and over on the road to Gatlinburg and back. Always remember that cover.

 

Yours?

To me, it was in 1966 when the cover featured a Texas Western player (David Lattin ?) beating UK's Pat Riley to a rebound in the championship game upset...............I think I have this right.

Cousin that introduced me to Dr. J had this cover framed in his room back in the mid 70's...Doc was my first Basketball Hero.
