The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to The Sports Guy

by: Bill Simmons
Discard the Amazon Best of the Month review. Gibberish. An "instant classic"? A case of "hoops genius"? Must have been Simmons' buddy who wrote that. This is hardly the stuff of legend. But I liked it nevertheless, with a few key caveats. Although the book often seems slapdash, sloppy, and unedited, Simmons generally has an engaging way with words. A nice style. Most of the book is devoted to ranking the top hundred or so players of all time. These chapters are fun to read, full of interesting insights into the psyche of the greats.

When the Game Was Ours

by: Larry Bird, Earvin Johnson Jr., Jackie MacMullan
Being a HUGE Larry Bird fan, this was a MUST HAVE book for me.(I have about EVERY book written about Larry Bird or with him in it). Living in Indiana, I had the opportunity to "follow" Larry thru out his complete basketball career. I had the opportunity to meet John Havlicek in 1968 and (then) became a Celtics fan. I was in "7th Heaven" when Larry was drafted by by them in 1978. I also attended Larry's Annual Golf Classic (down in Terre Haute) for 10 years in a row. Each year having the opportunity to talk with Larry for a little while EACH year.

Jerry West: The Life and Legend of a Basketball Icon

by: Roland Lazenby
Having been a Laker fan since the early 70's, I couldn't wait to read about my all-time favorite Laker. The author does an excellent job following the life and career of Jerry West. Starting with his childhood in the Depression, this is the time in his life where his "perfectionism" began. With hard work and the demands of his mother, Jerry would carry this burden through-out his entire life. Looking back over the years, Jerry said he had no idea why he played so hard except he was desperate to please his mother, to make up for the great loss she had suffered due to the death of his brother, David.
