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

5.0

Almost 2 months to read and I will rate it the 5 stars. Is it long and stats heavy to the point eye blurring, in many places yes. Do some of the jokes particularly on women and language that was acceptable in the 2010s age poorly? Like a stack of bricks dropped on a coffee table. So why 5 stars. Because the rest of the book was hilarious anecdotes and basketball history written by someone who loves it more than anything. And because I read chapters of it to my husband while we were on maternity leave in blurry sleep deprived mornings and the sound of him laughing his ass of is worth 5 stars.
