Bill Simmons' The Book of Basketball

[Kingdom]

I know DirtyKash has it. Anyone else, yet?


Point of my thread is discussing his pyramid for the NBA hall of fame. I'm not all the way done with it, but, what surprised you from the top 96?

I immediately have to say Vinsanity being on there, as much as Bill dislikes the man. And the pretty glowing report/support for Allen Iverson, I've always loved Iverson until he was dealt to Denver. I was just shocked. In a good way.


By the way, I love it, for the historic analysis. It's really given me insight to guys I knew of, but just didn't realize their greatness (Kevin McHale, big big example, I guess his GM skills eclipsed his legend.)

Could your question be directed at anyone else besides me? Ok, maybe Porter too. But no, I don't have it. I imagine a 700 page book isn't cheap.
