Cavs’ season of dreams featured in latest edition of iconic SLAM magazine

March 24, 2025

The Cavaliers have been cooking, sans a recent four-game skid, which ended in resounding style Sunday in Utah.

At 57-14, they are primed for the No. 1 overall seed in the Eastern Conference, and hey, who knows? Maybe the entire NBA.

THE CAVS @SLAMonline COVER IS FIRE!

Anyway, SLAM Magazine is probably older than a lot of you are. It’s been around since 1994. It is the first publication to combine hoops with hip-hop and continues to be the absolute leader in that area today.

So, being on the cover of SLAM is an honor for NBA players and everyone in the basketball community. For the Cavaliers, those cover guys are Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland.

Faster than anyone outside of Cleveland believed, the Cavs are in contention for the top of the League.

Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, their All-Star guards, get their SHINE.

As for the content, you can read the full story here.

For starters, Mitchell was asked the craziest or most absurd thing that people have said about Mitchell and Garland.

Mission: championship.

“The ‘not being able to play together’ I think was definitely the toughest one, because they don’t give it a chance, you know?” Mitchell told SLAM. “Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are another duo in this League, it took them eight years to win a championship. It takes time. Not saying we’re them, not saying they are us…Jamal Murray and Jokic. AD and Bron. It takes time.”

The Cavaliers conclude their swing through the West with a visit to Portland on Tuesday night. They finally return home Thursday to face San Antonio.

Hell yeah. Sam Amico BEEN the voice of the Cavs
