Basketball (and Other Things)

A Collection of Questions Asked, Answered, Illustrated

By: Shea Serrano, Reggie Miller

Narrated by: Sean Crisden

This book is made up of 33 chapters. Each chapter is a different basketball question that needs to be answered. Some of them are obviously crucial (example: what's the most important NBA championship?) and some of them are secretly crucial (example: was Kobe Bryant a dork?).

But all of them are approached in ways that (I hope you think) are smart and fun and nuanced. Also, you should know ahead of time that some of the pieces go a bit sideways sometimes, like the chapter that ends up just being the script of an action movie, or the other chapter that's actually just a bunch of lists and nothing else. Basketball is fun. - Shea

the narrator doesn't know ball

some of the pronunciations were funny, especially Celtics and Dan Majerle. But good for Shea!

Silly fun with statistics to back it up

This book was clearly well thought out and researched and it was absolutely hilarious. Some of the chapters could be hard to follow in audio format because of stats or years. And the narrator had some epic mispronunciations. Most glaring referring to Dan Majerle as Dan Majorly instead of the actual pronunciation. But if you want to know who the best fictional basketball player of all time is, hear the rankings of fun things like the most disrespectful dunk in history and figure out who’d be better at being on the Jazz and at being a bear Karl Malone or an actual bear, you will enjoy this book. Very funny and well worth your time.
