Went did drake become this influential in the NBA

[Jx2]

Yep homeboy works there, he told me when Duncan retires they are releasing a 300 page special edition just for him

Loved when the recreated the George Gervin cover here

I miss the days of HS when the new Slams were copped instantly and then eventually convinced my parents to get me a yearly subsciption. Waiting for the new cover was .


Haven't picked one up since my college days around 2007 or so.

Lol. I wouldn't say that being on the cover of Slam mag makes him very influential in the League

It doesnt, but he is very influential in the league.

Influential in what sense tho?

Influential in what sense tho?

He just hosted the ASG

 

[OfTheCross]

He just hosted the ASG

He's a celebrity ambassador.

If the Miami Heat have DJ Khaled host ASW I wouldn't rave about his influence in the league

He's just managed to convince the suits at MLSE that he can make the Raps more popular. Funny thing is, the formal relationship between the Raps and Drake has only benefited Drake ( sound familiar? )

Raps ratings are down compared to last year and their re-brand hasn't' exactly been a hit. What exactly did he do at the ASG? He didn't even perform.

Slapped hands with all the starters (minus alpha russ) like a sally

Team definitely benefited from his association its naive to deny that...ratings are down,because of last year and because theyre all over the damn dial and alot of times not even on basic cable.That being said the joint is sold out every night and they sell a ton of his branded team merch...

You cannot say the team hasnt gotten more popular since hes been brought on...

This is like putting Spike on a Knick-related cover. Slam fell off a decade ago anyway.

@the Knicks being on the cover of any fukking thing

Get them the fukk outta here

 

[PhonZhi]

Cotdamn, drake is starting to look like an old white man

 

[Miggs]

Influential in what sense tho?

Most players in the league listen to his music and want to be around him...

Khaled doesnt have his own branded store inside the AAA and sellout his own NBA branded merchandise with his logo on it...Thats his influence,he could sell his OVO crap inside team stores at all NBA arenas and it would sell out...thats his influence.

Theres people that come up here to visit just to see the city that Drakes from and visit the OVO Store,thats not a joke...

Tim deserves it and so does KG

 

[DoubleClutch]

He's being used to revive basketball in Toronto and Canada, and it's working.

It's all part of the NBA plan to be more of a global game in the near future. Next city, Montreal, then London, maybe?
