Nice recruiting tool as well.
In case anyone doesn't get the throwback reference. Always found it funny the guy who is missing from that cover.
Makes me wonder what missing player from the cover will hit “The Shot” in 2023?! 🤔
Thanks for sharing! Old enough to to say I could swear I remembered a similar cover from the way back.

I still have my ‘81 magazine with cover intact.

I’m hoping we’re up 20 in the last game & don’t need a shot.
The 2022 SI cover is such a great homage to the greatest coach of all time,
Dean E. Smith.

Could we get another Maye gem!
That cover gave me goosbumps! I still have the DES one and they both will go in plastic as soon as I get this latest one.
Thanks SI and thanks for the find!

Did both covers have the same overlay or did someone just photoshop that for us?

Do coaches get Championship rings?
I ask because I notice that Dean is wearing a ring that could be a championship ring. He played on a championship team for Kansas, I think, so he could wear any of 3, if coaches get rings.
Assuming coaches do get rings, do assistant coaches also get them. If so, I wonder why Hubert isn't wearing one - although it could, of course, be on his left hand.

Roy often wore his championship rings. Heck he wore a Kansas final four ring to motivate the 2005 team. Said be wouldn't take it off until they got him a ring.
I just noticed Hubert's lapel pin - DES
I'm proud to be a Tar Heel.

They gave those out to people close to the program shortly after Dean passed. Hubert wore it at his introductory press conference when he became head coach.
Thanks for the information, Dave. Dean and Hubert are similar in several ways; first and foremost, they personify

Why would it be photoshop? It’s simply a recreation with a new photo.
For those curious, UNC basketball made this- not SI. I’m driving to Franklin to check for prints sometime in the next week. Will keep you posted.
Apparently, this is not the cover of SI this month and chucks comment is saying that this is just an image that someone created. My buddy went to several stores to find it and heard the same.
Again, it has nothing to do with Sports Illustrated. We made this.
Soooo.teasing us then, lol!
Someone make this a poster quickly so I can buy one! I guess, I'll make one myself!
