Why does he have to have a basketball in his hand to get on a cover? Why not a brief case?
He could be the next Larry Bird. Just because he's white, he can't be on a magazine with a basketball?

Prove to me the wind. Show me the wind man. I want proof of that shit. Cuz I don't see it.
The Gorrilla is an intelligent and powerful creature. While watching King Kong you gotta ask yourself who was the real animal/beast in that movie, the people hunting him with guns after stealing him from his natural habitat or King Kong himself who really reacts in an understandable and logical way to the brutality and insensitivity he is put through. That was the morale of the movie really.Concerning this cover, I see it like this, there is a strong successful athletic black man, somebody who has attained the apex of their physical. He has with him, a beautiful white woman, whom he appears to have 'attained'. It is King Kongish, but is it negative? Was king kong really an ugly brutal animal? No. He was King Kong. The Chinese attribute animal qualites to people, the dog=loyalty, the tiger=inner strength and courage, the rooster=proud, King Kong/the gorrilla is no different, he got qualities. Pac, Malcom X, Wesley Snipes, they are all representative of King Kong's qualities to some degree.The cover is a picture of success, i like it. Of course there is the prospect of an emerging sterotype that black people are only successful at entertainment and sports and that black people are always portrayed in a certain way, but that isn't because of a conspiracy by them devils, nothing is ever that simple. Its actaully because people LOVE that image, kids look up to heroes and champions, since the days of GILGAMESH. Its an image that people love and the CEOs know they will move CDs and magazines off shelves with that image. Of course, anything in abundance loses its value after awhile, thats another reason why hip-hop isn't selling so much anymore...
