The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons Pdf

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The NBA according to The Sports Guy—now updated with fresh takes on LeBron, the Celtics, and more! Foreword by Malcom Gladwell • “The work of a true fan . . . it might just represent the next phase of sports commentary.”—The Atlantic Bill Simmons, the wildly opinionated and thoroughly entertaining basketball addict known to millions as ESPN’s The Sports Guy, has written the definitive book on the past, present, and future of the NBA. From the age-old question of who actually won the rivalry between Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain to the one about which team was truly the best of all time, Simmons opens—and then closes, once and for all—every major pro basketball debate. Then he takes it further by completely reevaluating not only how NBA Hall of Fame inductees should be chosen but how the institution must be reshaped from the ground up, the result being the Pyramid: Simmons’s one-of-a-kind five-level shrine to the ninety-six greatest players in the history of pro basketball. And ultimately he takes fans to the heart of it all, as he uses a conversation with one NBA great to uncover that coveted thing: The Secret of Basketball. Comprehensive, authoritative, controversial, hilarious, and impossible to put down (even for Celtic-haters), The Book of Basketball offers every hardwood fan a courtside seat beside the game’s finest, funniest, and fiercest chronicler.

Boston Celtics by Mike Carey,Michael D. McClellan Pdf

When the Boston Celtics were running-and-gunning their way to 16 world championships, New England fans displayed their approval of the team's effort and heart by rooting especially hard for the bench players. It didn't matter whether a particular favorite was the sixth man or the twelfth. As long as the chosen player possessed determination, guts, emotion and, above all hustle, the Celtics faithful would reward that player with cascades of applause and chants. Fringe players--don't call them scrubs--became cult heroes. Yes, the Garden crowds were in absolute heaven when subs such as High Henry Finkel, Greg Kite, Eric Fernsten, Terry Duerod, Kevin Oscar Gamble, Wayne Kreklow, and Charles Bradley shed their warm-ups and scampered down to the scorer's table to enter a game. Seldom did these players spend more than a couple of years in green-and-white uniforms before they were either waived or nabbed in an expansion draft. Still, to this day, their names and contributions have not been forgotten. Likewise, fans have not forgotten the dark days when Marvin Bad News Barnes, Sidney Wicks, Curtis Rowe, Bob McAdoo, Shammond Williams and Acie Earl aimlessly roamed on the parquet floor as the Celtics embarrassed themselves in defeat after defeat. Some players achieved star status in the face of long odds thanks to the results of one game in particular. What long-time Boston fan can ever forget Glenn McDonald's crucial string of clutch jumpers in the third overtime of Boston's 1976 playoff victory over the Phoenix Suns? Boston Celtics: Where Have You Gone? catches up with these long-remembered players and relives their impact (good or bad) on their Celtic teams. No longer will you have towonder, Whatever happened to...?
