SLAM Hardwood Classics Cover Crewneck Sweatshirt - Vince Carter SLAM 35

Deep ocean and outer space get called the final frontiers of exploration. Everything else has been seen already, right? Our footprints sit everywhere from high mountains to flat plains, and there's been progress on those borderlands above and below us too, from the moon landing to submersibles reaching the Mariana Trench.

Just one man's footprints landed where nobody else's had. Clouds became stepping stones in the wake of his climb, and he's the only one to map the true heights of the stratosphere. So astoundingly high that they stayed uncharted until the unbelievable became reality, until Vince Carter took off and dunked everything.

Towards the end of his rookie season, SLAM 35 came out. The Rookie of the Year award was being tossed around by him, Jason Williams and Paul Pierce. On any given night, any one of that trio looked ready to snatch it away from the others. But then one of them would hit a game winner. Or lace a dime through seemingly indomitable defense. Or kiss the sky. It was a ROY race for the ages.

So SLAM 35 marked the first triple cover in our history. All three of these impressive rookies got their own cover, and they were all part of the same story inside the magazine, a debate between three of our writers that ended with our editor-in-chief declaring the winner. Go hit up our digital archive to read it. Only one won the award, though...

The skywalker ultimately soared so high that he grabbed it and brought it up where nobody else could reach. He left no doubt.
