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.

Book excerpt: The true story of one of pro wrestlingÕs most charismatic, feared, and beloved icons Who was Maurice the man, and who was Mad Dog the character? Maurice ÒMad DogÓ Vachon was a gold medalist, a pro-wrestling legend, and a pop culture icon Ñ but he was also a son, husband, and father. Mad Dog explores VachonÕs career and personal struggles with painstakingly detailed historical research and through both MauriceÕs own recollections and those of the people who knew him best. As a young man, Maurice could have chosen a dark criminal path, but then wrestling and family changed him. Chronicling his slow but steady rise to prominence across America and internationally in some of pro wrestlingÕs most important territories, this in-depth biography shows how VachonÕs life came to be defined by the words of Mark Twain: ÒItÕs not the size of the dog in the fight, itÕs the size of the fight in the dog.Ó Fiercely proud, motivated, and supremely talented, VachonÕs story is also the amazing tale of how a lifelong make-believe heel became a real-life hero outside of the ring. With a foreword by his brother, Paul Vachon, and an afterword by his widow, Kathie Vachon.

Book Synopsis The World Dog Hall of Fame: Stories of Our Most Celebrated Dogs by : Doug Gelbert
Download or read book The World Dog Hall of Fame: Stories of Our Most Celebrated Dogs written by Doug Gelbert and published by Cruden Bay Books. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can it be that there is no Hall of Fame for dogs? There is a Pinball Hall of Fame, a Mascot Hall of Fame, a Hot Dog Hall of Fame. There is a Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. There is a Robot Hall of Fame. There is a Burlesque Hall of Fame. There are an estimated 3,000 halls of fame. And no Hall of Fame for dogs. A "hall of fame" is a Bavarian idea, hatched by King Ludwig I to display portraits of 36 of his country's most breathtaking Frauleins. In 1853 he built a classical Greek temple in Munich and lined the walls behind the Doric colonnade with busts of historical figures who had brought glory to the kingdom of Bavaria and the Germanic peoples. He called his creation the Ruhmeshalle - the Hall of Fame.But it was really the Americans who took the Hall of Fame ball and ran with it. On New York University in 1901 Henry Mitchell MacCracken launched the Hall of Fame For Great Americans. The first 29 inductees received busts placed in an actual "hall" designed by the esteemed architect, Stanford White. There was no consensus on who was truly a "great American" - only George Washington was inducted unanimously by a board of electors assiduously assembled by MacCracken. No dog was ever included in the Hall of Fame For Great Americans.And so it began. Now quilters are honored, polka dancers are honored, tow truck drivers are honored, stickball players are honored, toys are honored, kites are honored...but not our best friends. Until now. So let's get started and meet the inductees into the World Dog Hall of Fame.But before we get going, a word. Some of the stories you are about to encounter may seem the stuff of fantasy to the jaded 21st century eye. But lay down your cynical stick before trying to beat every last kernel of truth from the tales. After all, historians are not united in believing all the stories from Babe Ruth's life, the greatest of all American sports heroes. It is possible to be famous and not have every scrap of your fame verified. And this is a book that celebrates fame.It's time to meet...Seaman...frontier explorer, Barry...mountain rescuer, Greyfriars Bobby...loyal dog, Sallie Ann Jarrett...war dog, Old Drum...hunting dog, Bob...railway dog, Nipper...spokesdog, Owney...postal dog, Jean...movie actor, Warren Remedy...show dog, Togo...sled dog, Stubby...war dog, Strongheart...movie actor, Rags...war dog, Rin Tin Tin...movie actor, Hachiko...loyal dog, Mick the Miller...dog racer, Buddy...guide dog, Patsy Ann...town dog, Shep...loyal dog, Skippy...movie actor, Terry/Toto...movie actor, Sinbad...war dog, Brownie...town dog, Chips...war dog, Fala...Presidential dog, Pal...movie actor, Bing...war dog, Smoky...war dog, King Buck...field dog, Laika...space dog, Higgins...movie actor, Count & Dingo...space dogs, Westy Whizzer...dog racer, Ashley Whippet...sport dog, Ballyregan Bob...dog racer, Endal...service dog, Uggie...movie actor, Chaser...smart dog

Book Synopsis Wish It Lasted Forever by : Dan Shaughnessy
Download or read book Wish It Lasted Forever written by Dan Shaughnessy and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing on unprecedented access and personal experiences that would not be possible for any reporter today, Shaughnessy takes us inside the legendary Larry Bird-led Celtics teams, capturing the camaraderie as they rose to dominate the NBA. Fans can witness the cockiness of Larry Bird (who once walked into an All Star Weekend locker room, announced that he was going to win the three-point contest, and did); the ageless athleticism of Robert Parish; the shooting skills of Kevin McHale; the fierce, self-sacrificing play of Bill Walton; and the playful humor of players like Danny Ainge, Cedric Cornbread Maxwell, and M.L. Carr."--

Book excerpt: They have names like Barmy Bernie, Daft Donald, and Steamin' Sammy. They like lager (in huge quantities), the Queen, football clubs (especially Manchester United), and themselves. Their dislike encompasses the rest of the known universe, and England's soccer thugs express it in ways that range from mere vandalism to riots that terrorize entire cities. Now Bill Buford, editor of the prestigious journal Granta, enters this alternate society and records both its savageries and its sinister allure with the social imagination of a George Orwell and the raw personal engagement of a Hunter Thompson.
