Download or read book In Search of the NBA Goat written by Kristjan Klavzer and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is the greatest NBA player of all time? This is one of the most asked questions in the basketball community. Every basketball enthusiast has their own criteria when it comes to this topic. That is the reason why I decided to rank the greatest NBA players in NBA history in as many major ways I could think of (from era domination to leadership achievements, etc.). In the end, I calculated the average rank (combined with the number of rankings that they qualified for) of great players, and this is how I determined the greatest players of all time. I even created my own statistical formula for a statistical grade that tells us how well a players played (statistically). The goal of my formula was to put all the major statistical aspects into one number (something I have been trying to achieve for years). I later found out that the great John Hollinger created his Game Score (the readers are free to recalculate everything using his formula if they won't like my formula), which tries to do the same. I used my formula in many different ways and the readers will be able to see how well the best NBA players performed in their primes, during the regular season, in the playoffs, in the Finals, in the elimination games, and even in head-to-heads. Of course, I used the non-statistical achievements too. I can honestly say that I tried to be as fair and as objective as possible. I know that we all have our different criteria and I don't expect anyone to change their GOATs because of me, but, at the very least, my book provides the NBA fans with a lot of interesting information and is pretty clear on the ranking criteria. I spent years on my research and calculations. I also learned a lot in the process. I hope the readers will appreciate my effort and hopefully learn many new things about the legends of the strongest basketball league in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2018 PEN OPEN BOOK AWARD "A rich and urgently necessary book" (New York Times Book Review), A Moonless, Starless Sky is a masterful, humane work of journalism by Alexis Okeowo--a vivid narrative of Africans who are courageously resisting their continent's wave of fundamentalism. In A Moonless, Starless Sky Okeowo weaves together four narratives that form a powerful tapestry of modern Africa: a young couple, kidnap victims of Joseph Kony's LRA; a Mauritanian waging a lonely campaign against modern-day slavery; a women's basketball team flourishing amid war-torn Somalia; and a vigilante who takes up arms against the extremist group Boko Haram. This debut book by one of America's most acclaimed young journalists illuminates the inner lives of ordinary people doing the extraordinary--lives that are too often hidden, underreported, or ignored by the rest of the world.
Download or read book Talking to GOATs written by Jim Gray and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! WITH A FOREWORD BY TOM BRADY “As a sportscaster and sports historian, Jim’s career genuinely stands the test of time. . . . This book is sports history about some of the greats by one of the greats, who was taking it all in on the sidelines, in the stands or the dugout, by the eighteenth green, courtside, or in the broadcast booth.” —Tom Brady, seven-time NFL Super Bowl champion GOAT A riveting, insightful memoir of never-before-told stories from Jim Gray, twelve-time Emmy Award-winner, Hall of Fame sports broadcaster, and renowned interviewer— that explores the author's career and the inside stories and memorable moments of the famous legends he has covered including, Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson. In Talking to GOATs, award-winning broadcaster Jim Gray looks back at his four decades of sports reporting from the unparalleled perspective of one of the world’s most respected and skilled interviewers. A journalist who many iconic athletes have trusted to tell their stories (of both triumph and disgrace), Jim has had unprecedented access to the people, places and extraordinary events in the world of sports. Asking tough but fair questions, he has broken numerous stories, and landed squarely in the middle of others, from the Ben Johnson and Barry Bonds steroid scandals, to Michael Jordan’s surprise retirement, to the off-the-court Kobe/Shaq feud which led to their on-the-court break up, to being part of the live broadcast for twenty-two Super Bowls. He’s climbed into the ring to interview Mike Tyson after he bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear, and stood next to Ron Artest when the “Malice at the Palace” melee erupted, and was on site at the bombing of the Atlanta Olympics. Anyone who has watched Jim effortlessly engage his subjects at the precise moment of triumph or tragedy has little idea what it takes to secure the interview, or what actually happens when the camera cuts away. These are real, mesmerizing, and previously untold stories. Talking to GOATs features numerous world-class athletes, including Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Floyd Mayweather, Michael Phelps, Mike Tyson and Tiger Woods, and world leaders George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Mikhail Gorbachev, and many more. On each page, Jim gives the reader a coveted all-access pass as he reviews the best interviews, the best athletes, and the best games in modern sports history. It’s like a personal introduction to the characters and careers of these heroes and villains we’ve known since childhood. He examines how money, celebrity, the media, and power interact, and how sports, more than any other institution, has led to momentous transformations in American society.
