A review by toddlleopold
The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guy by Bill Simmons

4.0

Like a really, really long Bill Simmons column, with all the positives (enthusiasm, some incisiveness) and all the negatives (endless footnotes, poor jokes) writ large. Some of his arguments and analysis were reminiscent of Bill James at his best; other times, I wished he’d just shut up. (There was a lot of skimming, only partially because I’m not a hardcore NBA fan.) Still, I enjoyed more than I didn’t. That’s pretty good for a 700-page book.
