Overview

The indispensible, amazingly illustrated companion to today's NBA—a roundball Rosetta Stone that hilariously decodes the trends and tendencies of pro basketball.

The NBA of the moment is a league of hugely charismatic celebrities, crackling aesthetic intrigue, sociopolitical undercurrents, and raw humanity: every Kobe Bryant pump-fake or LeBron James dunk holds within it a Shaq-size load of meaning. The Macro-Phenomenal NBA Almanac is a one-of-a-kind guide to this tumultuous and exciting league. In a series of brilliantly illustrated chapters—from Master Builders like Tim Duncan to Destiny’s Kids like Amare Stoudemire to Lost Souls like Lamar Odom—the almanac breaks down the styles of the NBA’s most colorful characters, showing what each one reveals through his play and conduct, both on the court and off. Filled with some of the smartest, funniest sportswriting known to fankind, this book will cast an entirely new light on one of our favorite games.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The publishers modestly describe this effort "a roundball Rosetta Stone that hilariously decodes the trends and tendencies of pro basketball." As improbable as that claim sounds, The Macrophenomenal NBA Almanac delivers, providing fans with a neat blend of fast-break facts, pump-fake jokes, and slam-dunk insights about Kobe, LeBron, Lamar Odom, and other pro hoop stars. A full season of fun.

    For those who look beyond ESPN

    The Macrophenomenal Basketball Almanac is suited to the "thinking" basketball fan. One who does not merely consume stats, or talking head commentary about the game. It's for fans who want deeper thoughts about the NBA players they love or hate. Going further than most basketball books out there, this book highlights the percieved personal destinies of the league's stars, talks about their demons, their scoring tendancies, and their role in the greater picture of the league. Wonderfully illustrated, the book will allow fans to view current stars in an enlightened and literate perspective.
