ReviewsShea Serrano's Basketball (And Other Things) is equal parts hilarious and enlightening... this is the ultimate book on basketball fandom., "The questions Serrano asks and answers (and that Arturo Torres illustrates in engaging graphic-novel style) includes many barstool argument-starters ("Who's the Greatest Dunker in NBA History?," "What Year Was Michael Jordan the Best Version of Michael Jordan?") as well as some nerdily conceptual ones.", ...this coffee-table-book-that-you'll-actually-read is a perfect gift for anyone who's up for debating which qualities make a great basketball villain--or which NBA player they'd want as an ally if The Purgehappened in real life., All of the musings--the book spans 240 pages and is comprised of 33 chapters--is playfully illustrated by Arturo Torres and serves as a reminder that although basketball fans may get all riled debating GOAT status and greatest teams, the NBA, at its core, is just plain fun., Even if you're a basketball novice or die-hard Spurs fan like Shea, this is a perfect companion to his Rap Year Book: full of myths, what-ifs, and hyperspecific fanaticism., With colorful, comic-book depictions of Spurs great Tim Duncan and other NBA stars by artist Arturo Torres, Serrano drops some serious and seriously funny knowledge on a sprawling range of hoops debates., Serrano deftly unravels the history of basketball via ridiculous debates, quirky answers and unexpected wisdom., Shea Serrano's new book... is a hilarious, informative group of passages that answer questions you never realized needed to be asked.
