4.0 out of 5 stars For Intense Basketball Fans Only, January 13, 2009

By	Bryan Carey "Bryan Carey" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Dime Magazine is a publication that is all about basketball and the personalities who have helped shape the sport and have helped make it a popular part of our entertainment and culture. This magazine is unique in that it focuses only on the sport of basketball. Most all other popular sporting magazines cover all types of sports from football to tennis and everything in between. But Dime Magazine is one- hundred percent basketball and it devotes its pages to the men and women behind the sport and what they are like when not playing the game. There is some talk about the sport itself, but Dime Magazine digs deeper than that. It strives to let the reader know about the basketball people themselves; what they are like, what they believe in, what their family life is like, etc.

Dime Magazine covers basketball in every form, including college, NBA, WNBA, and world competition, but the majority of the articles cover the NBA and its many dazzling stars. Occasionally, Dime Magazine will offer an article on a woman who plays college hoops or a rising basketball star in another part of the world. But most of the stories revolve around the personalities that make the NBA what it is today. These personal stories are often very frank and very to the point. As most fans already know, the NBA has some very unique and powerful personalities among its personnel and these men do not hold back their feelings and do not resist massaging their own egos. They let you know exactly what they think, whether it's about basketball or some other subject.

Dime Magazine is a very consistent magazine. Each issue contains about the same number of pages with sections laid out in roughly the same way. One quality that many will appreciate is the lack of advertisements. There is a fashion section near the end which is like an advertisement, but other than this, Dime Magazine devotes most of its pages to stories and interviews with the players. This publication wants to keep basketball enthusiasts informed about some of the most interesting players in the game and it wastes little time or magazine space deviating from its main purpose.

Basketball fans are often die- hard and many individuals live and breathe the sport they love. Dime Magazine is a great publication for these intense fans of basketball because it goes much deeper than the game itself. Basketball is fun to watch, but there is more to the game than what one witnesses on the court. There are also the personalities that have helped shape the game of basketball and Dime Magazine is a nice publication for reading about and learning more about the interesting men and woman who have helped make basketball the cultural phenomenon that it is today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like No Other Magazine, June 24, 2002

By A Customer

I just got their third issue with Kenyon Martin on the cover and it is awesome. They look at hoop the way it is supposed to be looked at. The writing is sophisticated and the stories are about the lives of the players and the different stories within the game. They have a piece on the different jewlery NBA stars are rocking, an interview with Kenyon Martin who says being black contributed to his "thug" rep and a very cool piece where they go out in NYC with Richard Jefferson. Definitely worth picking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars reviewed from CA, November 4, 2003

I've been a subscriber since Issue #2. This mag has the feel of an independent source for info. on the NBA, College, Playground, and High School that you may not find anywhere else. I'd rather read Dime than any of the other major mags when it comes to bball news. I wish it was 12 issues instead of 4 per year; but that's only because I enjoy reading it so much.
