Over time it has evolved (devolved) into a more typical sports magazine. The stories focus more and more on the sport, and less on the human element. But I continue to subscribe, more out of habit and inertia than for any other reason. Occasionally, however, there appears a story that revives the old glory days.

The Legacy Of Wes LeonardAlso be warned - this is a heart-touching story. If you don't shed one or more tears while reading it you have no heart.
You may have heard about the Michigan high schooler who made a game-winning basket and then died. Here's the rest of the story...

I'm about three issues behind on SI (story of my life), but I'll be sure to read it when I get to it.

The mag version is much better than the online one.
