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.

Book excerpt: Are top scorers really the most valuable players? Are games decided in the final few minutes? Does the team with the best player usually win?Thinking Basketball challenges a number of common beliefs about the game by taking a deep dive into the patterns and history of the NBA. Explore how certain myths arose while using our own cognition as a window into the game's popular narratives. New basketball concepts are introduced, such as power plays, portability and why the best player shouldn't always shoot. Discover how the box score can be misleading, why "closers" are overrated and how the outcome of a game fundamentally alters our memory. Behavioral economics, traffic paradoxes and other metaphors highlight this thought-provoking insight into the NBA and our own thinking. A must-read for any basketball fan -- you'll never view the sport, and maybe the world, the same again.

Download or read book Dynasties written by Marcus Thompson II and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed sports journalist Marcus Thompson explores the 10 teams that transformed basketball in this illustrated history of the sport. What turns a winning team into a dynasty? According to many, legitimate dynasties are teams that not only won two or more titles but combine personality, superstar talent, and consistent winning seasons. They are teams that you either love or love to hate. While basketball dynasties have been talked about in sports media circles-especially over the last few months-there isn't been a book that explores these top teams in basketball history. Dynasties features 10 winning teams that redefined the sport in their own way. Organized by dynasty beginning with the Minnesota Lakers (1948-1954) and ending with the Warriors (2015-the present), the book tells the story of each team with player and coach profiles (including some of the sports all-time greats: Johnson, Bird, Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, Curry), key games, playing styles and tactics, controversies, and more. Also featured are teams and players that were frequent rivals to dynasty teams (such as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers), teams that could have been dynasties, and possible future dynasties.

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.

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.
