“[A] slam dunk.”—USA Today
“The work of a true fan . . . It might just represent the next
phase of sports commentary.”—The Atlantic
“May be one of those literary lollapaloozas that Simmons’s fans
must buy.”—The New York Times
“Wildly prolific, ceaselessly witty, harmlessly crass, and
generally wise, Simmons has built an everydude empire by
triangulating the trashy pop-culture futon talk of Chuck Klosterman
and the stats-heavy philosophizing of Malcolm Gladwell.”—The
Village Voice
“This is just plain fun. . . . The true NBA fan will dive into this
hefty volume and won’t resurface for about a week.”—Booklist
(starred review)
“The book flows much like Mr. Simmons’s ESPN columns. . . . Opinion
gushes out of him. But he backs it up with equal parts serious
research and off-angle observations. . . . He has produced enough
provocative arguments to fuel barstool arguments far into the
future.”—The Wall Street Journal
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE SAN FRANCISCO
