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 James Naismith written by Rob Rains and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems unlikely that James Naismith, who grew up playing “Duck on the Rock” in the rural community of Almonte, Canada, would invent one of America’s most popular sports. But Rob Rains and Hellen Carpenter’s fascinating, in-depth biography James Naismith: The Man Who Invented Basketball shows how this young man—who wanted to be a medical doctor, or if not that, a minister (in fact, he was both)—came to create a game that has endured for over a century. James Naismith reveals how Naismith invented basketball in part to find an indoor activity to occupy students in the winter months. When he realized that the key to his game was that men could not run with the ball, and that throwing and jumping would eliminate the roughness of force, he was on to something. And while Naismith thought that other sports provided better exercise, he was pleased to create a game that “anyone could play.” With unprecedented access to the Naismith archives and documents, Rains and Carpenter chronicle how Naismith developed the 13 rules of basketball, coached the game at the University of Kansas—establishing college basketball in the process—and was honored for his work at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin.

This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of college basketball is a tale of giants (Mikan, Russell, Alcindor), mammoth personalities (Wooden, Knight, Krzyzewski) and larger-than-life moments (N.C. State's upset in 1983, Laettner's shot in 1992 and, just last year, Butler's near-miss at a championship miracle). With over a half-century of experience covering the game, Sports Illustrated is uniquely positioned to tell that story, and in 256 super-sized pages, continuing in the tradition of its annual sport-specific coffee-table series, it has found just the right format to capture the enormously entertaining wonder of it all. Hall of Fame writers, including Frank Deford, Curry Kirkpatrick, Alexander Wolff and Gary Smith, have covered all the great back-door plays, morality plays and passion plays of perhaps our most emotional sport. They were there for North Carolina's triple overtime takedown of Wilt Chamberlain and Kansas in 1957, for Texas Western's historic upset of Kentucky in 1966 and for Villanova's brilliant upending of Georgetown in 1985. Having chronicled all the madness from the fall (Midnight) through the spring (March) year after year, SI's award-winning photographers have captured the indelible images of buzzer-beating shots, of court-storming celebrations and of some of the world's largest men bawling over heartbreaking defeats. Those memorable stories and pictures are presented here as never before in this magnificent, must-have book for any college hoops fan.
Download or read book Bracketology written by Joe Lunardi and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lunardi delves into the early days of Bracketology, details its growth, and dispels the myths of the process The NCAA Tournament has become one of the most popular sports events in the country, consuming fans for weeks with the run to the Final Four and ultimately the crowning of the champion of college hoops.? Each March, millions of Americans fill out their bracket in the hopes of correctly predicting the future. Yet, there is no true Madness without the oft-debated question about what teams should be seeded where—from the Power-5 Blue Blood with some early season stumbles on their resume to the mid-major that rampaged through their less competitive conference season—and the inventor of Bracketology himself, Joe Lunardi, now reveals the mystery and science behind the legend. While going in depth on his ever-evolving predictive formula, Lunardi compares great teams from different eras with intriguing results, talks to the biggest names in college basketball about their perception of Bracketology (both good and bad), and looks ahead to the future of the sport and how Bracketology will help shape the conversation. This fascinating book is a must-read for college hoops fans and anyone who has aspired to win their yearly office pool.

Download or read book Coaching the System written by Gary Smith and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you are interested in Coaching the System, you must be either desperate or crazy!" At least that's what people told authors Gary Smith and Doug Porter when they began investigating this revolutionary style of play almost a decade ago. Ignoring the critics, they went on to coach the two highest scoring teams in men's and women's college basketball history: the University of Redlands, California (132.4 ppg), and Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois (104.1 ppg). From its origins as the Sonny Allen Numbered Fast Break, to Paul Westhead's Loyola Marymount up-tempo game, the System has been around for decades. But when Grinnell College's David Arseneault added platoon substitution patterns and hockey-style short shifts, placing a priority on creating three-point looks for his "preferred shooters," the System truly came into its own. Smith and Porter learned the Grinnell version of the System from Arseneault himself, adapting it to fit their situations coaching men's and women's programs. In the past decade their teams set 32 NCAA and NAIA records between them, including most 100-point games in a season (Redlands-23; Olivet-24). Olivet also holds national records for defensive turnovers (36.3 per game) assists (23.8 per game), and three pointers made in a season (509, 15.6 per game). Redlands owns college basketball records (all levels) for field goal attempts (110.3 per game), and three-pointers made (23.8 per game). Now you can learn every detail of this devastating full court run-and-press attack that allows you to dictate tempo and force your opponents out of their normal game plan, capturing the imagination of your players and community, and making coaching fun again! You'll learn exactly how and why the System works, how to adapt it to fit your personnel, suggestions for conditioning players, organizing System practices, and even ways to respond to the inevitable criticisms that come with playing the game this far "outside the box." Other chapters offer complete descriptions of the Redlands Attack (Coach Smith's variation of the Grinnell offense), the LMU Attack (which Westhead popularized and used to advance to the NCAA regional finals in 1990), and the Olivet Attack (Coach Porter's hybrid version of the LMU and Dribble-Drive offenses). Finally, you'll learn System defensive principles, terminology, and how to cover every conceivable press attack and press-breaker alignment. Also included are 57 drills and over 300 diagrams to illustrate System offense and defense, providing you with a complete blueprint for "Coaching the System!"

Book Synopsis Manu Ginobili: the Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Sixth Men by : Clayton Geoffreys

This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the Inspiring Story of the San Antonio Spurs' Legendary Sixth Man Manu Ginobili! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! In Manu Ginobili: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Sixth Men, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier players off the bench, Manu Ginobili. Since joining the NBA as the 57th overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft, Manu Ginobili has cemented his legacy as one of the most impressive sixth men to ever play the game. A four-time NBA champion, Manu's role in the core of the San Antonio dynasty is indisputable as he played alongside Tim Duncan and Tony Parker in their championship runs in the early 2000s and more recently in 2014. When Manu decides to retire from professional basketball, he will retire one of the most beloved sixth men to play the game. In this book, we'll explore Manu's journey into the NBA, his greatest moments, and what makes him one of the greatest role players to ever play the game. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life, Childhood, and Teenage Years Early Professional Career Manu Ginobili's NBA Career First All-Star Appearance, Birth of the Big Three, Second NBA Title Return to Bench Duties, Third NBA Championship Sixth Man of the Year Return to the NBA Finals Fourth NBA Championship International Career Manu's Personal Life Manu's Impact and Legacy An excerpt from the book: When you talk about the San Antonio Spurs franchise, you will more than likely have to talk about their Big Three. The Spurs' Big Three have delivered a total of four NBA championships to San Antonio and have made multiple All-Star appearances, All-NBA Team selections, and other milestones and achievements. As is widely accepted, the centerpiece of that Big Three will always be Tim Duncan, who is also regarded as the best player in San Antonio Spurs' franchise history. Duncan has led the Spurs since the late 1990s both in the locker room and on the floor. With more MVPs and All-Star appearances than any other player on the roster, he is surely one of the greatest players to have ever graced the floor. Another piece in that San Antonio Big Three is a French point guard named Tony Parker. Parker has made a living by running the Spurs' offense night in and night out. He was thrust into that role ever since he was in his sophomore NBA season by none other than San Antonio Coach Gregg Popovich. When the other two members of the Big Three began aging, Tony Parker led the team in offense for a number of seasons before ceding that role in 2015 to the rising Kawhi Leonard and new acquisition LaMarcus Aldridge. The final member of the Big Three is Argentinean guard Manu Ginobili. Why is he regarded as only the third member? Well, it's because Ginobili is often the most overlooked player among the Spurs' Big Three. Unlike Duncan, he did not come into the NBA as an immediate impact player. He did not come with complete offensive and defensive arsenals, unlike the Big Fundamental. He did not win MVPs or make as many All-Star teams as Tim has. Compared to Tony Parker, Manu has never had the chance of leading the way for the Spurs. And unlike Parker, Ginobili did not start out the early part of his career as a trusted starter and playing a vital role in the offense.
