🇦🇺 Before the Internet, we survived on basketball magazines, especially in Australia. I started collecting them around 1987, when I was about 11 years old. They meant everything to me and I read them cover to cover.

Incredibly, my dad kept them all this time and in pristine condition. On a recent trip to Australia, I unboxed them and discovered some absolute gems and just how often Michael Jordan featured on front covers, from sportsillustrated, hoopmag, Basketball Digest, Street and Smiths, sportingnews, dickiev_espn, Inside Sports, Pietersen’s Preview and more.
