Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The NBA according to The Sports Guy—now updated with fresh takes on LeBron, the Celtics, and more! Foreword by Malcom Gladwell • “The work of a true fan . . . it might just represent the next phase of sports commentary.”—The Atlantic Bill Simmons, the wildly opinionated and thoroughly entertaining basketball addict known to millions as ESPN’s The Sports Guy, has written the definitive book on the past, present, and future of the NBA. From the age-old question of who actually won the rivalry between Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain to the one about which team was truly the best of all time, Simmons opens—and then closes, once and for all—every major pro basketball debate. Then he takes it further by completely reevaluating not only how NBA Hall of Fame inductees should be chosen but how the institution must be reshaped from the ground up, the result being the Pyramid: Simmons’s one-of-a-kind five-level shrine to the ninety-six greatest players in the history of pro basketball. And ultimately he takes fans to the heart of it all, as he uses a conversation with one NBA great to uncover that coveted thing: The Secret of Basketball. Comprehensive, authoritative, controversial, hilarious, and impossible to put down (even for Celtic-haters), The Book of Basketball offers every hardwood fan a courtside seat beside the game’s finest, funniest, and fiercest chronicler.

Download or read book 2020 Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide written by Sean Ryan and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-09 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you noticed most 2020 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they're all using the same information: last year's stats! Last year's stats won't tell you how Mike McCarthy will utilize Ezekiel Elliot. They won't tell you if Mark Rhule is going to keep feeding Christian McCaffrey the ball. But The 2020 Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide does! A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage I could find. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That's when "sleeper" picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I cam to one undeniable truth: Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player's talents will be used in an offense. This is why (as my Fantasy Football Book predicted) Lamar Jackson flourished in last year under Greg Roman's coaching and Le'Veon Bell disappointed in Adam Gase's offensive scheme). In fact, 7 of our 8 "Too Risky" picks were busts last season! Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one sleeper who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? My readers who picked up Darren Waller and Devin Singletary in the late rounds last year think so. Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine. It's a fantasy football scouting agency. We blend next-gen sports analytics with good old fashion film study. I literally watch every single preseason game in order to properly calibrate this guide's rankings throughout the offseason. That's right, The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide comes with FREE updates. You don't have to pay $5 a month to access them. If you buy the book we tell you how to access them. Included Within: -300 detailed player writeups with three year statistical progression included -Instructions on how to interact with Sean throughout the offseason -Over half of the league has a new head coach or offensive coordinator. How does this impact fantasy potential? Sean's shares insights based on film study and statistical analysis to project the impact of new offensive schemes. oWe've updated our algorithms to include play calling tendency of coaching staffs -Other guides use historical data to project their totals. The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide is the only fantasy football magazine that utilizes scouting for future rankings. Simply put, our draft strategy is primed to maximize the value of every draft pick. -Defense and Kicker analysis has been completed to identify competitive advantage at these positions, which are commonly ignored -We've completed an easy to follow draft guide with useful tips for fantasy football rookies and fantasy football experts alike -Overall player "tiers" definition (which is more useful for draft strategy when playing in leagues with multiple team counts) -Expanded sleeper list that is rooted in scouting, coaching analysis and analytics. You won't find these players in other guides! -Risky players list, which identifies popular players that carry risk, are over-drafted based on our analysis and/or carry significant bust potential -Fantasy Rankings for different league types: Points-per-Reception (PPR), Standard/non-PPR and Rookies (for Dynasty Leagues) -We track 2020 offseason movement, coaching changes and draft selections

Download or read book History of the Chicago Bulls 1966 2023 written by Brian Aldridge and published by Classic Sports Journal. This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1984, the Bulls were entering their 19th year as a franchise when they signed Michael Jeffrey Jordan to a contract. Lest anyone forget, the pre-Jordan Bulls sported some very good teams that included some very good players like Guy Rodgers, Bob Love, Chet Walker, Tom Boerwinkle, Jerry Sloan, Norm Van Lier, and Artis Gilmore. Their play brought winning seasons, plenty of loud excitement and hope at the Stadium, but alas none of those teams reached the Finals. By the time His Airness took the floor, the Bulls hadn't seen the playoffs in 3 years and the 1983-84 version lost twice as many games as they won. Jordan brought the team respect, but it took a total of 6 seasons, a coaching change, and a shrewd GM to make great draft choices and add role players for the club to hoist the hardware and raise the Bulls' first championship banner. This was the first of 6 (two three-peats). The heroes were many: Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, John Paxson, Bill Cartwright, Steve Kerr, Dennis Rodman, Ron Harper, and Toni Kukoc. And Jordan? The 5X NBA MVP was voted Finals MVP all 6 times. The tough times that followed included more coaching changes. But there were also some personal successes: two Bulls won Rookie of the Year honors (the second of the two was voted league MVP), another won a 6th Man Award (his rookie season), a fan-favorite from Duke made the 2011-12 All-Defense team, and a 7-foot center from Florida won the 2012-13 NBA Player of the Year. Yes, there were good times as well (think Bench Mob!). The current 2021-2022 Bulls, led by coach Billy Donovan, entered the playoffs with the addition of All NBA (2nd Team) forward DeMar DeRozan, Olympian Zach LeVine, center Nikola Vucevic, 3rd year guard Coby White, and rookie guard Ayu Dosunmu. This was truly DeRozan's year - tying NBA record first set by Larry Bird (1985) and breaking another set by Wilt Chamberlain in the 1960s. What's included? Year-by year Standings, Club news, draft choices, player trades, dozens of season games and all post-season summaries. For more context: there's League news, noteworthy league games, stat leaders, year-end award winners, and Finals outcomes.

Download or read book History of the Chicago Bulls 1984 2023 written by Brian Aldridge and published by Classic Sports Journal. This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Michael Jordan era (1984-98) changed the home atmosphere of half-empty stands to SRO crowds, media hordes, downtown parades, Grant Park celebrations, and drama – perhaps too much drama before (and after!) MJ took a brief leave-of-absence. Led by coach Phil Jackson, it was Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, BJ Armstrong, Craig Hodges, John Paxson, Bill Cartwright, and Toni Kukoc who either joined him in the championship run or kept the team playoff-bound until he returned. The second 3-peat included Kukoc, former Detroit Pistons Bad Boy Dennis Rodman, Steve Kerr, and Luc Longley. The Bulls’ post-Jordan era brought 6 years of lean times, then back to the playoff hunt. Those who emerged and thrived were Elton Brand (2000 ROY), Ben Gordon (2005 6th Man), Andres Nocioni, Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, Joakim Noah (2014 Player of the Year), Derrick Rose (2008 ROY, 2011 MVP), Jimmy Butler, and current stars DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic, and Coby White. What you'll find inside... § End of the Year Standings, Home/Away records, and Best/Worst records vs. opponents. § Club & League news: rule changes, trends, trades, suspensions, and noteworthy games § Stat leaders: Top Scoring, Rebounding, Assists, Blocks, 3-point percentage, and FT percentage § Year End Awards include Hall of Fame inductees, First Team Offense & Defense, and Finals outcome
