Hey noodles

Totally agree Bill Simmon's Book of Basketball is awesome....I picked it up at the airport in Boston and definetly informative and very funny look at the nba and basketball.

Have you got "Can i keep my Jersey"?

Yep it's Paul shirley's book....

Have you got :07 seconds or less - a season spent with the run and gun Phoenix Sums?? That is also a good read.

Ahhh I got the thread back on track :-p

I was more of a picture/attitude book and it was abut 15 years ago that I last saw it but did anyone ever see the "In Your Face Basketball Book"? It was both informative and hilarious but would be very dated now.

yeah i read 07 seconds or less about a month ago - great read. I liked it mostly for the insight into how Mike D'Antoni runs a team. Obviously alot of what you read about in the book can be seen with the Knicks. Also the Ediie House stories are brilliant. Bill Simmons calls him an "irrational confidence" guy in his columns and podcasts and you can see why when you read this.

I even developed an appreciation for what Alvin Gentry would be like as a coach

Alvin is a very temperamental guy, love the way he is handling the Suns atm..
and they rewarded him with a contract extension..

The suns need to replace robin lopez with a guy like blake griffin or something LOL.

Sounds like a fair trade although the Suns might have to give the clips some "cash considerations".
