OJ Mayo on the Cover of Latest SLAM Magazine

From SlamOnline.com (h/t to TrojanWire.com):

We heard other rumors, too, about bad habits, about getting in fights, general knucklehead behavior that generally wasn’t substantiated. We heard it all, much of it from people we trust, and then we compared it with what we knew, or at least what we’d observed first-hand: That OJ Mayo had never been anything less than polite and inquisitive and accomodating. And mostly, we’ve decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

...Anyway, back to L.A. We ran through a couple of photo set ups at the studio, then rolled to some old high school a few miles away — where, apparently, they used to shoot some of the exterior scenes at this old TV show called Beverly Hills 90210 (kids, ask your parents if they’ve heard of it) — and did some more dope set-ups. The theme was OJ as the regular Joe on campus, and it’s a role he says he embraces. He doesn’t front like he’s going to spend the next four years in college, but he also insists he’s taking school seriously. This is not because he’s a book worm necessarily, but because he’s got big plans for his post-basketball future. He wants to learn business, marketing, real estate. If he follows through on the things he’s talking about now, OJ’s gonna be giving Magic a run for his mogul title in 15 or 20 years.

The shot of VKC in the background is a nice touch.  Don't like the fact that they put a $150k+ car behind OJ in the shot since it will only bring about unnecessary drama.  Can't complain though, it's nice seeing SC basketball get some respectable publicity.
