NBA Book Club ep 33: The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons part 1

Bill Simmons' book where he mansplains his takes on mens NBA players throughout history but also engages in some what ifs and magical thinking that he may have known better than whatever GMS etc. Sourced from lots of film and other seminal basketball books and box scores primarily he attempts to build a ranking in pyramid form of the best basketball players of all time. Copywrite 2009 and feels it . (feels like this is the first book i may get somehow busted for discussing )

Review and explication of the original 13 tenets of basketball and application of them to the real world in the interest of making the world a better place . Excellent History along with some really good ideas for how the world could be a better place (when we aren't actively fascisming?) Also had the Knicks -Pacers playoff game 3 on in the background which the Knicks managed to come back from 20 to win due in large part to Kat whom we bag on a bit ,
