Om denne e-boken
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Rap Year Book and Basketball (and Other Things), a witty and fun examination of some of basketball's most iconic players, moments, games, and more.
Everything in basketball is measured. Everything in basketball is counted, quantified, and computed. And yet, no matter how expansive the list of various pinpoint-specific statistical categories gets, some basketball things remain uncountable or unquantifiable.
Some moments are more poetry than calculation, rising to art than numerical value. More feeling than data processing. And thus: Expensive Basketball.
From Kobe’s 81-point game to Sue Bird’s crossover, from the majesty of Ray Allen’s legendary 3-pointer to the beautiful mystery of Allen Iverson, Expensive Basketball is an affirmation of feelings.
It’s an affirmation of basketball as virtuosity. It’s an affirmation of how sometimes you watch a person perform on the basketball court and it feels the same way it does when you lie in the grass at night and stare up at the moon for long enough that you start to think about how incredible it is that you really, truly, honestly, actually exist.
