It’s high noon in the desert because the Mercury is rising. Phoenix’s newest big three of Kahleah Copper, Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally cover SLAM 256. In the issue’s cover story, they discuss the renewal they expect to happen for their team this summer. It’s both a collective fresh start and an individual one. And besides the basketball talk, we played a hilarious game of Point 'Em Out with the trio. The moral of the story is it's ok to crash out every once in a while 🤣

Welcome to SLAM. We've been the Basketball Bible since 1994, when we started as a hoops-loving magazine in New York City. We're now a multimedia company that has earned its way to the Naismith Basketball Memorial Hall of Fame. We're obsessed with hoops in all forms--from men's and women's in the pros, to the up-and-coming stars of high school and college, to the overseas players making waves. Basketball culture touches sneakers, fashion, music and so much more and we're there to cover it all. SLAM is for the real heads.
