Greatest Cover We Never Ran - UPDATE!

Kenyon MartinALMOST an amazing cover.

I put this up last night and wanted to give you a quick update. The interns are diligently going through all of our photos of half naked women and preparing them for galleries and posts. It may take a minute. We’ll put them up as quickly as possible.

I came across this today looking for a couple old files. We mocked up the cover but didn’t pull the trigger (weak, I know). We actually ran the image (issue #3). We should have ran it as the cover though.

    That is a sick shot. should have used it for sure.

  2. 123 says:

    Is it just me, or does KMart look like he is about 17 years old in that picture?

  3. hahns says:

    if you want, you guys can rerun the cover. i’ll stand in if kenyon isnt available.

  4. nick says:

    def should have used that shot.

  5. knoc says:

    damn she is hot. definitely run it

  6. heartbreaker85 says:

    fuck k-mart, just get the girl back on the cover (same outfit only looking this way) and we’re good.

  7. JCARR says:

    I am back… his necklace looks dangerous around her booby(gibson) it might take out all the silicon (fake)… still a good pic for a cover

  8. Ashlov says:

    Remove K-Mart, replace with another hot topless girl. Cover of the year, champagne flows, people name their newborns “Dime”. Ta-da.

  9. Logan Light says:

    yup… what you said.

  10. McGuffin says:

    Yeah, good thing dime didn’t run that cover. K-Mart sucks. But seriously, get Candance Parker on that cover with the hot naked girl.

  11. Kevin says:

    How has there not been a Trina crack yet??

  12. Kevin says:

    “BY DIME MAGAZINE”?????

    Hahaha, you guys always do that for any post with a hot broad!! You afraid your girl might catch you gawkin at other women???

  13. Drink the Haterade (Kobe Rocks) says:

    Ya I agree with Ashlov… But I still want to know who the girl is?

  14. fallinup says:

    I do miss all of those fine ass ladies that used to grace Dime mag. Dime needs to bring the “hottie in a NBA jersey gallery 2.0″…its long overdue.

  15. doc says:

    Shorty good money,she making the public want more with that hidden nipple shot.She better than that ugly ass Hornet chick I know that much.

  16. S-SiN says:

    @ post no.7
    that tit looks pretty real to me homes. a nice lil fergie wannabe.. still that should be some other mag’s cover ya’ll. i’m sorry

  17. S-SiN says:

    thank u doc! i wasn’t gon say shit, but who did that hornets girl had to fuck?

  18. control says:

    I am pretty sure that chick is photoshoped into that shit.

    Still damn good though.

  19. The Jed says:

    1. I posted it. You think my girl reads dimemag.com?
    2. This was 7 years ago. Her name was (and probably still is) Hilary. Yes Hilary with one l.
    3. 110% not photoshopped.
    4. Raise your hand if you want more pics of her and I’ll see what I can do.

  20. knoc says:

    hand raised! 2nd hand raised.

  21. QuEsT??? says:

    raising my hand

  22. QuEsT??? says:

    so all posts done by the name dime magazine are written by u jed?

  23. The Jed says:

    Actually no. I don’t post much at all so figured it would mean more coming from Dime’s name collectively. No hidden agenda I promise. I’ll work to get the crew to dig up some old photos of Hilary. I’ll even get all our old dime pieces together and put them in a gallery. When I do that I’ll explain the story of our first office in NYC. Might be a day or two but I’ll make it happen.

  24. that's whats up says:

    god bless the tit-tays

  25. dc says:

    & a topless girl promotes basketball how??

  26. that's whats up says:

    and no, those are tupperware titties

    they ain’t real

  27. jackass says:

    hand raised

  28. Momma Nay says:

    Since ya’ll fellas like female body parts so much how bout a cover with Kenyon’s neck and them lovely lady lips he got tatted on it? It has about as much to do with ball as the half-faced, topless woman shown here. A female ballplayer will probably never grace the cover of Dime, but maybe if her titties are out she’ll get a better shot, huh? …Douche bags.

  29. 123 says:

    If all you guys rely on Dime to find you pictures of half-naked hotasses on the internet, then I feel real bad about the future of this country.

  30. Peter Robert Casey says:

    If I recall correctly, the early issues of Dime had a lot of models hanging around the ball players?

  31. QuEsT??? says:

    @ jed, yea man do all that, i want to see the pics and the story of the old days!

  32. QuEsT??? says:

    kmart looks kinda nervous?

  33. A.R. says:

    Hand raised! Both hands! I’ll go get some more hands if you want me too!

  34. Lebacire says:

    Were s d pics od dat girl?

  35. Junio says:

    Dude, we like basketball and hot girls…put both together and we’re cool.

  36. Shujen says:

    hmmm….denver = colorado. martin = black man. black man = kobe and white chick = all white chicks.

    good call not to run that cover.

    besides….what the hell is that image trying to communicate?

  37. Shujen says:

    7 years ago…was before the Kobe expierence. but still. lackluster shot any way.

  38. ab_40 says:

    haha I got some of these old dime pictures on my computer… If you’re gonna post the one with the girl who only wears them laker shorts when they’re 10-0 I’m gonna laugh

  39. MSkittle says:

    Damn, Trina must be pissed right now.

  40. Amar says:

    kenyon demanded that he still be showing more nipple than a toppless girl. that’s just kenyon.

  41. Amar says:

    I have all of those old dime mags somewhere in my parents house. the first one with the AI cover was a great mag. i thought the dime pieces were an attempt to get at something that really wasn’t FULLY a part of what a basketball mag should be. (caught on with the maxim/fhm phase where every mag had chicks in it + the hoopstv failure)

  42. Da Chi 23/33 says:

    Hand raised…and why does K-Mart look like Joe Budden’s lil brother..

  43. Jon says:

    Mama Nay, don’t hate on us menfolk for loving boobies. Boobies in basketball, boobies on the subway, boobies everywhere and without context. The men love them and it’s that very love that’s partially responsible for you existing so don’t hate.

  44. Cash Money says:

    That cover would have made Dime sell way more magazines off the newstand! K-Mart would have gotten some phone calls too..

  45. Sccob says:

    I remember this shot. This was back when the mag was held together by staples. Not the glossy, glued mag you see today.

    Shoutout to the heads that remember hoopstv.com.

  46. P_Dizzle says:

    Why the hell is he looking at the camera? It ruins the whole shot. He looks like some damn pedophile or something.

    It’s a hot shot but him looking at me weirds the sh** out of me.

  47. Simon from Australi says:

    Great artistic shot, but I agree with several people, what does this have to do with basketball?

    Black & White Magazine did a phoot shoot of the Australian Womaens team before the Athens Olympics.
