Book of Basketball Description
A highly opinionated and massively entertaining missive on every aspect of the NBA, past, present, and future, from the Sports Guy himself, The Book of Basketball covers every imaginable topic and addresses every conceivable issue, from the question of who truly won the rivalry between Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain to which MVP Award winner was the least deserving of all time to which team was the best of all time, and takes readers in directions other sportswriters could never dream up. This is a definitive and one-of-a-kind book that will sell for years.Details

The Book of Basketball
The NBA according to The Sports Guy
Foreword by Malcolm Gladwell
Newly updated with fresh takes on LeBron, Kobe, the Celtics & more*
Bill Simmons, the wildly opinionated and thoroughly entertaining basketball addict known to millions as ESPN.com’s The Sports Guy, has written the definitive book on the past, present, and future of the NBA. From the age-old question of who actually won the rivalry between Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain to the one about which team was truly the best of all time, Simmons opens—and then closes, once and for all—every major pro basketball debate. Then he takes it further by completely reevaluating not only how NBA Hall of Fame inductees should be chosen but how the institution must be reshaped from the ground up, the result being the Pyramid: Simmons’s one-of-a-kind five-level shrine to the ninety-six greatest players in the history of pro basketball. And ultimately he takes fans to the heart of it all, as he uses a conversation with one NBA great to uncover that coveted thing: The Secret of Basketball.
Comprehensive, authoritative, controversial, hilarious, and impossible to put down (even for Celtic-haters), The Book of Basketball offers every hardwood fan a courtside seat beside the game’s finest, funniest, and fiercest chronicler.
*Including even more footnotes!
