#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? The wildly opinionated, thoroughly entertaining, and arguably definitive book on the past, present, and future of the NBAfrom the founder of The Ringer and host of The Bill Simmons Podcast?Enough provocative arguments to fuel barstool arguments far into the future.?The Wall Street JournalIn The Book of Basketball, Bill Simmons opensand then closes, once and for allevery major NBA debate, from the ageold 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. 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 oneofakind fivelevel shrine to the ninetysix 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 Celtichaters), The Book of Basketball offers every hardwood fan a courtside seat beside the game?s finest, funniest, and fiercest chronicler.
