I thought the book too light on substance. The arguments were only a couple of paragraphs long. I would have preferred to read more about the what was debated.

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

Fascinating book. I feel like I learned many new things about sports and about great players and teams, as well
as about Greeny & Hembo.

I absolutely loved [b:Got Your Number: The Greatest Sports Legends and the Numbers They Own|61918736|Got Your Number The Greatest Sports Legends and the Numbers They Own|Mike Greenberg|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1664756501l/61918736._SX50_.jpg|97609758], a list of which athlete owns each number 1-100. I did not enjoy this book as much.

This is 100 sport debates, normally a list of 10, such as 10 best Superbowl QB performances. This book covers MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAA sports, NHL, boxing and more.

The questions though, are formed in a way that take out the argument. The questions aren't broad like, who is the greatest running back ever. I don't think there is room for much argument. Maybe a little discussion about the order of the list or a "what about this player or team? They should make the top 10" but there isn't much that is provocative or shocking in the book. Many of the questions weren't exciting.

I did enjoy the trivia questions for each discussion. Those were enjoyable. I also enjoyed being reminded of players or plays, or games and even looking up moments or athletes on YouTube that I wasn't familiar with.

It's an enjoyable book for sports fans, but it's not "as advertised"

lighthearted fast-paced

This book is a sports fans brain quest “quest cards”. I didn’t find it a good in-one-sitting book but it is really good for a while-at-the-potty book and you want some fun and interesting facts!
