From Dime Magazine...Someone brought it to our attention yesterday that Slam Magazine took a cheap shot at us on their web site. Actually, they’ve been taking shots at us for five years - no doubt because they feel threatened by our success. You know what? We’ve always taken the high road and not responded to the little jabs here and there. But this time they accused us of “biting” from their mag. We can’t let that go. Here’s the deal fellas: We don’t read your magazine (although you obviously read ours, thanks). We’re not concerned with what’s going on over at a teen magazine.
We started Dime five years ago because we were ballplayers and there wasn’t a magazine for us. So we went out and made one. Five years later, we’re still here doing our thing - bigger and better than ever. And in all that time, we’ve never taken a shot at anymagazine, let alone yours. We don’t need to. If you want to talk, talk. We just bring it harder. And the results speak for themselves.
Listen, to us, there’s nothing cornier than a mag beef (over the internet no less), so here’s one option: We’re both basketball magazines … let’s play ball. Name the date, name the court, and we’ll be there. We might even spot you a couple points - from what we’ve seen, you’ll need at least that much.
Who are we kidding? We both know you won’t take us up on the offer.
