Synopsis
If you are one of the millions of Americans who are addicted to athletics, you probably know Bill Simmons as the author of the consistently hilarious and insightful "Sports Guy" columns from espn.com and ESPN: The Magazine. Simmons breaks down the art, science, philosophy and fun of the NBA with his characteristic wit and aplomb, from Kurt Rambis to Kevin Durant, from The Iceman to The Microwave, from LeBron to Uwe Blab. Simmons has (mis)spent a lifetime rabidly following NBA basketball, accumulating random statistics, memorizing media miscellany and hoarding hoops hodge-podge, and he mixes his Shaq-sized mass of miscellaneous wisdom with a barrage of pop culture references to produce the most entertaining and enlightening analysis of the NBA since James Naismith first pounded the nail through his peach basket.

Publisher's Note
A lively and opinionated tour of the past, present, and future of pro basketball, written by ESPN's "Sports Guy" columnist, shares provocative insights on everything from major NBA events and underrated players to how the author believes Hall of Famers should be selected. By an award-winning author.

Industry Reviews
"[I]f Simmons brought only passion and knowledge to the table, he wouldn't be any different from one of the countless superfans calling in to their local sports radio shows. What makes him such a successful sportswriter, after all, is that he can flat out write. THE BOOK OF BASKETBALL is a few hundred pages too long, but it's never boring....[T]he book is guaranteed to hold a reader's interest."
