Does Anyone Remember One on One Magazine?

Does anyone remember One on One Magazine?

It was an Australian basketball magazine that was at its peak in the '90s, and then it just seemed to disappear. It was similar to what Handle is now, except it was a little bit lamer, for lack of a better discription.

There was also another "hip-hop" basketball magazine called Jammin', which was basically a blatant rip-off of US mag SLAM (and even stole some stories directly from SLAM's pages, if I recall correctly).

Anyway, does anyone have any memories of One on One? Does anyone know what ever happened to it?

Got every single issue, susbscribed from day one, first edition, Gaze on cover.

I even remember an early article called Spanish Rose about how Bradtke was going to Spain, but when he returns to Australia, he'll be back playing for the Sixers.....

I agree.. One on One was the best basketball magazine, as a youngest getting it every month. I would read it back to front and like booga, i loved the posters.

I will still look at them from time and time again. It is funny to look at the issues where guys like A.I, Tim Duncan, Camby were coming out of college and the experts saying if they would be any good.

I am unsure what happened to the magazine, i gather they maybe didnt have the sales. But at the height of basketball in Australia during the 90's it was a great mag.. Good Times.

I had a subscription to One on One for about 2 years and got the hard covered folder as a free gift. It had a good mix of NBA/NBL and wasn't too crowded with advertising compared to some mags out today.

I loved the Pro Basketball Today newspaper. I wish it was still around.

The problem with One on One was that the first issue cost $5.95, the last issue cost $5.95, not one price increase in aprrox 8 yrs, I liked Pro Baskball Today as well but the internet rendered it useless

Got every issue of One on One as well, the final issue had Gaze on the front in a Spurs top in 1999, and also had a story on Adelaide's 1999 championship.

One on one then was incorporated into PBT, which only died out a couple of years back. As mentioned above, the internet made it a pointless read.

Philnaldo, as soon as the internet threatened their sales, they should have taken their archive online and adjusted their game plan a bit. Might never have been able to sell online subscriptions to cover paying more than one person, but at that early stage, but could have easily created an associated forum and gone from there. A paid editor and guest, volunteer writers could've at least kept it alive.

Well thats right, but perhaps common sense and initiative wasn't used and thus they ceased to exist.

I used to buy it every month too. If I remember correctly it ended after the 1999 lockout. Lockouts ruin everything!

Does anyone remember an older basketball magazine from the 70s called "Time Out"?
