In 1999, Slam Magazine featured Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett on its cover with the headline "100% Real Juice."
Fast-forward 17 years, and another promising Timberwolves big man looks eerily similar as Slam's 2016 cover boy. This time, Karl-Anthony Towns is the name above that same headline.

Pretty spot-on.
This isn't the first time Slam has gone back in time with the Wolves.
In 2012, the magazine re-created an old KG-Stephon Marbury cover with Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio. That duo didn't quite live up to the hype. But so far it's safe to say that Towns, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, is on the right track as he carries on the big-man legacy in Minny.
Cue the nostalgia.
