NBA Inside Stuff Review - Shaq EXPOSED

Houston's Big Three, Finley on dunking, and shooting shirts vs. jerseys!

I was thrilled to track down this issue of Inside Stuff. After over 17 months of scouring eBay, this is the only one I could find. What a great cover! The cover has a very Sports Illustrated for Kids vibe with the block font. I love it, though.

It’s the penultimate(ish) Inside Stuff review! Let’s get into it!
