This week’s 57-page digital magazine also looks at the recent excellence NBA star LeBron James has shown on the court as he pursues the league scoring record held for decades by the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and looks at the upcoming opponents that will keep trying to stop him.

Basketball fans can also read about the highs and lows of longtime Final Four television announcer Billy Packer, including what made him stand out among the colleagues of his era and kept him calling championships again and again.
