“The Joy of Basketball” is 350 pages of words and illustrations about Allen Iverson, Manu Ginobili, Malice in the Palace, Feral Bigs, Heat Day Ones, and the NBA’s last 25 years. I wrote it with @earlboykins for @ABRAMSbooks

Wemby putting up a hyper-efficient 31 points per 36 minutes while still being a lousy iso scorer and below average from 3 is a harbinger of doom...for everyone else
imagine this on the back pocket of stonewashed denim jeans
Say what you want about the 3-point revolution, gather-step goblins, and possessionmaxxers, but there's always going to be a place in the NBA for undersized energy guys like Jabari Walker or Bill Russell
Many old school players would seamlessly translate in today's NBA. For example, Bill Russell would be a star in the mold of Dominick Barlow
Jason Williams piensa que Michael Jordan tendría problemas para anotar en la era moderna:
“Fue fácil para él llegar a la canasta contra Gary Payton como lo sería contra Jrue Holiday pero hoy con Giannis y Brook Lopez esperándolo allí atrás... No estaría anotando tan fácilmente hoy como lo hizo en ese entonces".
¿Qué opinan?
On latest @CookiesHoops we're on Billy Jones Way, heading to Socceria to watch the Knicks vs Sixers season opener, bemoaning the Vanderbiltization of NYC, and considering an NBA team in Mexico City
